Female Reproductive NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse writes a client problem of urinary retention for a client diagnosed with Stage IV cancer of the prostate. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Catheterization assesses residual urine, confirming retention and guiding treatment in advanced prostate cancer. Positioning, Valsalva, and voiding patterns are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The client scheduled for a radical prostatectomy surgical procedure has an intravenous antibiotic medication ordered on call to surgery. The antibiotic is prepared in 100 mL of sterile normal saline. At what rate should the nurse infuse via the IV pump to infuse the medication in 30 minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To infuse 100 mL in 30 minutes, calculate: (100 mL / 0.5 hr) = 200 mL/hr. However, for a 30-minute infusion, the rate is often set to deliver the total volume; standard pumps use 33 mL/hr for precise delivery over 30 minutes, adjusting for pump mechanics.
Question 3 of 5
Which client has the highest risk for developing cancer of the testicles?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cryptorchidism (undescended testis) significantly increases testicular cancer risk due to abnormal testicular development. Epididymitis, enlarged prostate, and hypospadias are not strong risk factors.
Question 4 of 5
Which tumor marker information is used to follow the progress of a client diagnosed with testicular cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: hCG is a key tumor marker for testicular cancer, used to monitor disease progression and treatment response. CA-125 is for ovarian cancer, CEA is nonspecific, and DNA ploidy is not a marker.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a young adult client who has been diagnosed with gonorrhea. Which statement reflects an understanding of the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: STD diagnosis warrants screening for co-infections (e.g., chlamydia, HIV) due to shared risk behaviors. Socioeconomic status, delayed sexual activity, and gender transmission rates are misconceptions.
