Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing the care plan for a 45-year-old client who has had a radical prostatectomy. Which psychosocial and physiological problem should be included in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sexual impotence is a common issue post-radical prostatectomy due to nerve damage, impacting psychosocial and physiological well-being. Coping, hemorrhage, and electrolyte imbalance are less specific.
Question 2 of 5
The client is diagnosed with left mastitis. Which assessment findings should the nurse observe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Mastitis causes dull pain and tough, doughy skin due to inflammation. Dimpling suggests cancer, cyclical lumps are fibrocystic, and bloody discharge/mass indicates malignancy.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the prostate has been placed on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy. Which statement indicates the client understands the treatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: LHRH agonists cause hot flashes due to hormonal suppression. Sexual dysfunction is common, cure is not guaranteed, and side effects are expected.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse writes a problem of 'anticipatory grieving' for a client diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which nursing intervention is priority for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Encouraging verbalization of feelings addresses anticipatory grieving, promoting emotional coping. Antidepressants are premature, CanSurmount is supportive but secondary, and advance directives are unrelated to grieving.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class to older women concerning cancer of the uterus. Which situation is a risk factor for developing endometrial cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Truncal obesity increases estrogen levels, a major risk for endometrial cancer. Young age, perimenopausal bleeding, and progesterone with estrogen are not primary risks.
