Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The postmenopausal client reveals it has been several years since her last gynecological examination and states, 'Oh, I don’t need exams anymore. I am beyond having children.' Which statement should be the nurse’s response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Postmenopausal women need gynecological exams to screen for cancers (e.g., endometrial, ovarian). Sexual activity is irrelevant, HRT is not mandatory, and feelings are secondary to health education.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing the admission assessment on a 78-year-old female client and observes bilateral pendulous breasts with a stringy appearance. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pendulous, stringy breasts are normal age-related changes; the nurse should continue the exam. Mammogram, HCP notification, or peau d’orange assessment are unnecessary without abnormal findings.
Question 3 of 5
Which nursing actions are appropriate in this situation? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,F
Rationale: Unattended medical records are a breach of confidentiality under HIPAA. Shredding the papers ensures secure disposal, and notifying the office manager addresses the violation.
Tossing in the trash or stacking neatly does not protect confidentiality, and housekeeping or identifying the culprit are not immediate priorities.
Question 4 of 5
To determine the significance of the client's symptomatic bleeding, which questions are most important for the nurse to ask? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,F
Rationale: Energy level, pad usage, bleeding color, and weight loss assess the severity and impact of heavy bleeding, indicating potential anemia or underlying pathology.
Question 5 of 5
When the nurse administers the parenteral form of the antineoplastic drug, which nursing action is best for preventing accidental self-absorption of the drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wearing gloves prevents skin contact with antineoplastic drugs, reducing the risk of absorption and toxicity.
