Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing the client for an insertion of a pessary. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clients should clean the pessary routinely (per HCP guidance) to prevent infection. Pessaries need periodic replacement, are inserted in an office setting, and estrogen cream is optional for some.
Question 2 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 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
Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Allowing the client's partner to stay respects the client's preference and provides emotional support, as long as the client consents and privacy is maintained.
Question 5 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.
