NCLEX Questions on Genitourinary System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching the female client diagnosed with tuberculosis of the urinary tract prior to discharge. Which information should the nurse include specific to this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Urinary TB can spread to sexual partners, so condoms are recommended during treatment. Medication timing, chest x-rays (for pulmonary T
B), and diet/fluids are general or less specific.
Question 2 of 5
The client with a TURP who has a continuous irrigation catheter complains of the need to urinate. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The urge to urinate may indicate a blocked catheter due to clots. Assessing patency ensures proper function and addresses the cause. Explaining the sensation, notifying the surgeon, or giving narcotics are secondary.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is developing a nursing care plan for the client diagnosed with CKD. Which nursing problem is priority for the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Excess fluid volume is the priority in CKD due to impaired kidney excretion, leading to edema, hypertension, and heart failure risk. Fluid overload is a life-threatening issue, whereas self-esteem, knowledge, and activity intolerance are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with cancer of the bladder is undergoing intravesical chemotherapy. Which instruction should the nurse provide the client about the pretherapy routine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Explaining intravesical chemotherapy (instilled into the bladder) ensures the client understands the procedure and its purpose. NPO is unnecessary, Neupogen is unrelated, and Tylenol is not routinely required.
