Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is instructing a two (2)-week postpartum client who has red, tender breasts after trying to breastfeed the infant. Which should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm, moist packs relieve engorgement and mastitis discomfort, promoting milk flow. Emptying breasts prevents engorgement but is not the focus, alcohol is harmful, and formula is unnecessary.
Question 2 of 5
If the lump has the following characteristics when the nurse palpates the breast tissue, which one is most suggestive that the lump may be a common?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Irregularly shaped lumps are more suggestive of malignancy, as benign lumps are typically smooth and mobile. Size, mobility, and location near the areola are less specific indicators.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement indicates further instruction is needed for the client with a cystocele?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cystocele does not preclude sexual intercourse; this statement indicates a misconception needing correction. Sonograms aid diagnosis, Kegels are appropriate, and stress incontinence is a symptom.
Question 4 of 5
When a client with a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) complains of bladder discomfort and a feeling of urgency to void, which nursing action is best to take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring catheter patency addresses the most likely cause of discomfort (blockage or clots) and prevents complications like bladder distension.
Question 5 of 5
The postmenopausal client reveals it has been several years since her last gynecological examination and states, 'Oh, I don’t need exams anymore. I am beyond having children.' Which statement should be the nurse’s response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Postmenopausal women need gynecological exams to screen for cancers (e.g., endometrial, ovarian). Sexual activity is irrelevant, HRT is not mandatory, and feelings are secondary to health education.
