Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which gynecologic symptom reported by a female client is most suggestive of trichomoniasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Trichomoniasis typically causes frothy, foul-smelling vaginal discharge with itching, distinguishing it from other infections.
Question 2 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 Removing all draining nodes is outdated, manual palpation is not specific, and visual inspection alone is insufficient.
Question 3 of 5
Which question is most important to ask to ensure valid analysis of the vaginal specimen?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The date of the last menstrual period is critical to interpret vaginal specimen results, as the menstrual cycle phase affects cervical and vaginal cell characteristics.
Question 4 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 5 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?
