Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is working in a health clinic. Which disease is required to be reported to the public health department?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Syphilis is a reportable STD to track and control spread, per public health regulations. PID, epididymitis, and ectopic pregnancy are not typically reportable.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with epididymitis secondary to a chlamydia infection. Which discharge instruction should the nurse discuss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chlamydia-related epididymitis requires partner treatment to prevent reinfection. Prolonged abstinence, white clumps in urine, and scrotal drainage are not expected.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 30-year-old nulliparous client who is complaining of severe dysmenorrhea. Which diagnostic test should the nurse prepare the client to undergo to determine the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Exploratory laparoscopy is used to diagnose conditions like endometriosis, a common cause of severe dysmenorrhea. Bimanual exam is nonspecific, pregnancy tests rule out ectopic pregnancy, and ovarian biopsy is invasive and unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
When the client asks where the laparoscope will be inserted, the nurse correctly identifies which structure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For endometriosis, a laparoscope is inserted through a small abdominal incision to visualize and remove ectopic tissue.
Question 5 of 5
Which question is most important for the nurse to ask the client with a cystocele who is scheduled to have a pessary inserted?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Latex allergies are critical to assess before pessary insertion, as many pessaries are latex-based, risking anaphylaxis. Incontinence history, bowel movements, and pelvic pressure are relevant but secondary to safety.
