Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing pelvic floor exercises with a client. Which information should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Kegel exercises involve contracting perineal muscles for 10 seconds to strengthen the pelvic floor. Frequency varies, they reduce but don’t prevent incontinence, and abdominal/buttock contraction is incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 3 of 5
To facilitate obtaining truthful information regarding this client's sexual history, which attitude is most important for the nurse to convey?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A nonjudgmental attitude fosters trust, encouraging the client to provide honest sexual history information without fear of stigma.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing action is most appropriate to carry out the medical order?

The nurse in the gynecology clinic is assessing the 50-year-old client who has had four (4) children and is complaining of having lower abdominal pressure and fatigue along with some urinary incontinence. Which instruction should the nurse teach the client?
