Question 1 of 5
When counseling a female client with a new diagnosis of genital herpes, which statement by the nurse is accurate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Genital herpes infection may confer some immunity to neonates via maternal antibodies, reducing severe neonatal herpes risk.
Question 2 of 5
If this client is typical of others with this condition, she will most likely report to the nurse that she experiences urinary incontinence during which time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A cystocele causes stress incontinence, with urine leakage during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as sneezing.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 4 of 5
Which instruction is best when teaching the client about inserting vaginal medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Instilling vaginal medication before sleep allows the medication to remain in the vagina longer, increasing its effectiveness.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse enters the room of a 24-year-old client diagnosed with testicular cancer. The fiancée of the client asks the nurse, 'Will we be able to have children?' Which is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sperm banking is recommended before testicular cancer treatment (e.g., orchiectomy, chemotherapy) to preserve fertility. Normal fertility is unlikely, sterility is not guaranteed, and discussing with the fiancée avoids privacy issues but is less proactive.
