NCLEX Questions on Genitourinary System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing kidney transplants with clients at a dialysis center. Which population is less likely to participate in organ donation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: African Americans are statistically less likely to participate in organ donation due to cultural beliefs, mistrust in healthcare systems, and lower registration rates. Other groups have higher participation rates, though disparities exist across all populations.
Question 2 of 5
When the client complains about the bland taste of the food, the nurse appropriately recommends substituting salt with which condiment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lemon juice is a low-sodium flavor enhancer, suitable for a sodium-restricted diet, unlike catsup, mustard, or soy sauce.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Which statement best explains the scientific rationale for the client’s Kussmaul’s respirations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Kussmaul’s respirations (rapid, deep breathing) in DKA compensate for metabolic acidosis by excreting carbon dioxide, a volatile acid, to raise blood pH. Kidneys excrete acid, not urine, and respirations do not increase CO2 or HCO3.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discussing how to prioritize care with the UAP. Which client should the nurse instruct the UAP to see first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assisting an elderly woman to the bathroom prevents falls and addresses immediate elimination needs, prioritizing safety. Removing SCDs, changing gowns, and discontinuing IVs are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
When asked about factors that are linked to bladder cancer, the nurse correctly identifies which factors? Select all that apply.

Rationale: Cigarette smoking is a well-established risk factor for bladder cancer.
