Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The occupational health nurse is preparing a class regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) for employees at a manufacturing plant. Which high-risk behavior information should be included in the class information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sexual partners increase STD risk due to greater exposure. Oral/anal sex carries risk, sterile needles prevent bloodborne STDs but not others, and condoms reduce but don’t eliminate risk.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with uterine cancer who has received afterload intracavitary radiation. Which precaution should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Minimizing time with the client reduces radiation exposure during intracavitary brachytherapy. Gloves are insufficient, visitors are limited, and ambulation increases exposure risk.
Question 3 of 5
The outpatient clinic nurse is working with clients diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Which long-term complication should the nurse discuss with the clients about STDs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy, a critical long-term complication. Antibiotic completion, reporting, and AIDS myths are important but not complications.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with ovarian cancer has had eight (8) courses of chemotherapy. Which laboratory data warrant immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Urinalysis with 100 WBCs indicates a urinary tract infection, requiring immediate intervention in a chemotherapy patient at risk for sepsis. Other values are within normal ranges.
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.
