Female Reproductive System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The young female client is admitted with pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to a chlamydia infection. Which discharge instruction should be taught to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chlamydia-related PID requires simultaneous treatment of the client and partner to prevent reinfection. Antibodies do not confer immunity, PID can cause infertility, and pain may persist.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse discusses healthy sexual behaviors with the client. Which risk factor predisposes the client to acquiring a sexually transmitted infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sexual partners increase exposure to STIs, significantly raising infection risk.
Question 3 of 5
The 50-year-old female client complains of bloating and indigestion and tells the nurse she has gained two (2) inches in her waist recently. Which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bloating, indigestion, and waist expansion are concerning for ovarian cancer; dark stools may indicate GI bleeding or metastasis, warranting urgent evaluation. Diet, oophorectomy, and positional indigestion are less specific.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing the client for an insertion of a pessary. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clients should clean the pessary routinely (per HCP guidance) to prevent infection. Pessaries need periodic replacement, are inserted in an office setting, and estrogen cream is optional for some.
