Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing an educational presentation for women in the community. Which primary nursing intervention should the nurse discuss regarding the development of ovarian cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Family history awareness is key for ovarian cancer risk assessment, guiding screening or genetic testing. Talc use is controversial, high-fat diets are not recommended, and yearly sonograms are not standard.
Question 2 of 5
The client is diagnosed with vulvar cancer. Which are the most common symptoms of cancer of the vulva?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Vulvar itching is the most common symptom of vulvar cancer, often persistent. Red lesions, thin skin, and dryness are less specific or associated with other conditions.
Question 3 of 5
When assigning a nursing assistant to this client's care, which instruction for disposing of soiled drainage pads is correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Soiled pads from pelvic inflammatory disease may contain infectious material, requiring disposal in biohazard waste bags to prevent contamination.
Question 4 of 5
The 50-year-old female client complains of bloating and indigestion and tells the nurse she has gained two (2) inches in her waist recently. Which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bloating, indigestion, and waist expansion are concerning for ovarian cancer; dark stools may indicate GI bleeding or metastasis, warranting urgent evaluation. Diet, oophorectomy, and positional indigestion are less specific.
Question 5 of 5
The HCP orders cultures of the urethral urine, bladder urine, and prostatic fluid. Which instructions should the nurse teach to achieve the first two (2) specimens?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Urethral (first 15 mL) and bladder (midstream 50 mL) urine are collected sequentially to differentiate infection sites. Early-morning specimens, post-prostate massage, or routine urine are incorrect.
