NCLEX RN Questions on Health Promotion Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse teaches the mother of a newly circumcised infant about postcircumcision care. Which statement by the mother indicates an understanding of the care required?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: After circumcision, the mother needs to be taught to observe for bleeding and assess the site hourly for 8 to 12 hours. Water is used for cleaning because soap or baby wipes may irritate the area and cause discomfort. Voiding needs to be assessed. The mother should call the primary health care provider if the baby has not urinated within 24 hours because swelling or damage may obstruct urine output. When the diaper is changed, Vaseline gauze should be reapplied (if prescribed). Frequent diaper changing prevents contamination of the site.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who is suspected of having a diagnosis of testicular cancer. Which data will be most helpful for determining the client's risk for this type of cancer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Race is a key risk factor for testicular cancer, with higher incidence in White males compared to other groups. Marital status, number of children, and sexual partners are not established risk factors for this cancer.
Question 3 of 5
The home care nurse is evaluating a client's understanding of the self-management of trigeminal neuralgia. Which client statement indicates that there is a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chronic irritation of cranial nerve V results in trigeminal neuralgia, and it is characterized by intermittent episodes of intense pain of sudden onset on the affected side of the face. The pain is rarely relieved by analgesics. It is recommended that clients chew on the unaffected side and use warm mouthwash for oral hygiene. Medications such as carbamazepine help control the pain of trigeminal neuralgia.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse has conducted teaching, with a client who experienced pulmonary embolism, about methods to prevent recurrence after discharge. Which client statement demonstrates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Wearing supportive hose enhances venous return, reducing the risk of thrombus formation and pulmonary embolism recurrence. Limiting fluid intake can lead to hemoconcentration, increasing clot risk. Prolonged sitting or crossing legs (even at the ankles) can impede venous return and should be avoided.
