Question 1 of 5
The nurse is formulating a care plan for a client post-abdominal hysterectomy. Which nursing diagnosis is appropriate for the client who has developed a complication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Intestinal obstruction is a common complication post-abdominal hysterectomy due to adhesions or ileus. Urinary retention and fluid imbalance are risks but less specific, and nerve damage is rare.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is admitting a client diagnosed with Stage Ia cancer of the cervix to an outpatient surgery center for a conization. Which data would the client most likely report?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stage Ia cervical cancer is often asymptomatic, detected via Pap smear or biopsy. Watery discharge, dyspareunia, and itching are more associated with advanced stages or infections.
Question 3 of 5
The client is diagnosed with benign uterine fibroid tumors. Which question should the nurse ask to determine if the client is experiencing a complication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain location helps identify complications like fibroid degeneration or pressure on organs. Missed periods are common, shortness of breath is unrelated, and pregnancy history is less relevant.
Question 4 of 5
The female client presents to the gynecologist’s office for the fifth time with an ovarian cyst and is scheduled for an exploratory laparoscopy. The client asks the nurse, 'Why do I need to have another surgery? The other cysts have all been benign.' Which statement is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Persistent ovarian cysts require evaluation to rule out malignancy or complications, despite prior benign findings. Suggesting inevitable cancer is inaccurate, minimizing pain is dismissive, and addressing fear is secondary.
Question 5 of 5
The female client has a mother who died from ovarian cancer and a sister diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which recommendations should the nurse make regarding early detection of ovarian cancer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: High familial risk warrants transvaginal ultrasound and CA-125 every 6 months for early detection. Prophylactic oophorectomy is a personal choice, MRI is not standard, and sigmoidoscopy is unrelated.
