Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client diagnosed with uterine prolapse. Which information should the nurse include in the discussion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Limiting coughing and heavy lifting reduces pelvic pressure, preventing prolapse worsening. Fluids and exercise aid bowel health but are secondary, multiple treatments exist, and daily visual checks are unnecessary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 3 of 5
The client has had an exploratory laparotomy to remove an ovarian tumor. The pathology report classifies the tumor as a 'low malignancy potential' (LMP) tumor. Which statement explains the scientific rationale for this pathology report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: LMP tumors (borderline ovarian tumors) have malignant features but lower metastatic potential, with better prognosis than invasive ovarian cancer. They are cancerous, not precancerous, and do not inherently require adjuvant therapy or indicate poor prognosis.
Question 4 of 5
The male client is considering a vasectomy for birth control. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Alternate contraception is needed post-vasectomy until sperm clearance (confirmed by semen analysis). Hot packs worsen edema, boxer underwear is nonspecific, and potency is unaffected.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse writes a problem of 'potential for complications related to ovarian hyperstimulation' for a client who is taking clomiphene (Clomid), an ovarian stimulant. Which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent pelvic sonograms monitor for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a clomiphene risk. Delaying intercourse, infusion therapy, and ectopic pregnancy are unrelated.
