Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discharging a client diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Condom use by an infectious partner prevents PID reinfection. Pain post-intercourse is abnormal, douching increases PID risk, and exams every 2 years are insufficient.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client newly diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. What is the scientific rationale for detecting the tumors at this stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at Stage IV due to vague early symptoms and deep pelvic location, delaying detection. Regular exams, dysmenorrhea, or breast cancer history do not ensure early detection.
Question 3 of 5
The client in the gynecology clinic asks the nurse, 'What are the risk factors for developing cancer of the cervix?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early sexual activity and multiple partners increase HPV exposure, the primary risk for cervical cancer. Diet and birth control are not direct risks, Chlamydia is secondary, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, cancer.
