Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment and finds that the client has a non-tarry and black stool. Which of the following subjective data should the nurse document as normal findings consistent with non-tarry black stool?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Consuming red meat can cause black stools due to its breakdown products, a normal finding. Iron supplements darken stools differently, while dry heaves and appetite loss are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
During an abdominal assessment,the nurse elicits tenderness on light palpation in the right lower quadrant. The nurse recognizes that this finding could indicate a problem with which organ?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Right lower quadrant tenderness suggests appendicitis. Sigmoid (left), liver (upper right), and gallbladder (upper right) are elsewhere.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to screen a client for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Which of the following techniques should the nurse recognize as the appropriate technique to screen for DVT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Measuring calf circumference detects swelling indicative of DVT. Ankle measurement, pulse checks, or compression assess circulation, not DVT specifically.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is describing how to perform a testicular self-examination to a client. Which of the following should be the appropriate statement by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Noticing an enlarged testicle or lump is key for early detection, warranting a provider call. Weekly exams are excessive, and normal texture isn’t lumpy.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a male client about the reproductive system. The nurse recognizes that which structure secretes a thin milky alkaline fluid to enhance the viability of sperm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Cowper (bulbourethral) gland secretes alkaline fluid to neutralize urethral acidity, aiding sperm viability. Note: Option C is a synonym but A is listed as correct.
