Question 1 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 2 of 5
When the client asks where the laparoscope will be inserted, the nurse correctly identifies which structure?
Correct Answer: A

Question 3 of 5
The client has a diagnosis of rule-out Paget’s disease. Which test provides a definitive diagnosis of the disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breast biopsy provides a definitive diagnosis for Paget’s disease by confirming malignant cells in the nipple/areola. Mammogram, ultrasound, and MRI are supportive but not confirmatory.
Question 4 of 5
Which is the American Cancer Society’s recommendation for the early detection of cancer of the prostate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: ACS recommends yearly PSA and DRE starting at age 50 for average-risk men. Biannual DRE, alkaline phosphatase, and urinalysis are not standard for prostate cancer screening.
Question 5 of 5
The client who is scheduled to have a breast biopsy with sentinel node dissection states, 'I don't understand. What does a sentinel node biopsy do?' Which scientific rationale should the nurse use to base the response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sentinel node biopsy involves injecting dye to identify the first lymph node(s) draining the tumor, assessing cancer spread. Removing all draining nodes is outdated, manual palpation is not specific, and visual inspection alone is insufficient.
