Female Reproductive Disorders NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning the care of a client diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to an STD. Which collaborative diagnosis is appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PID from STDs increases infertility risk due to scarring. Knowledge deficit, fluid volume deficit, and noncompliance are less specific without evidence.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing task could be delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) for the client who had a total vaginal hysterectomy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining intake and output is within UAP scope, involving measurement and recording. Observing drainage requires assessment, pain management involves nursing judgment, and discharge preparation includes teaching, all inappropriate for delegation.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse include when teaching the client who is having an anterior colporrhaphy to repair a cystocele?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, aiding recovery and preventing recurrence post-anterior colporrhaphy. Perineal care frequency is excessive, catheters are temporary, and pessaries are not used surgically.
Question 4 of 5
The client in the gynecology clinic asks the nurse, 'What are the risk factors for developing cancer of the cervix?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early sexual activity and multiple partners increase HPV exposure, the primary risk for cervical cancer. Diet and birth control are not direct risks, Chlamydia is secondary, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, cancer.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client newly diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. What is the scientific rationale for detecting the tumors at this stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at Stage IV due to vague early symptoms and deep pelvic location, delaying detection. Regular exams, dysmenorrhea, or breast cancer history do not ensure early detection.
