Female Reproductive Disorders NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which instruction is appropriate to include when providing the client with oral contraceptive teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking oral contraceptives at the same time daily ensures consistent hormone levels, maximizing efficacy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client newly diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. What is the scientific rationale for detecting the tumors at this stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at Stage IV due to vague early symptoms and deep pelvic location, delaying detection. Regular exams, dysmenorrhea, or breast cancer history do not ensure early detection.
Question 3 of 5
The female client diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) asks the nurse, 'What other problems can HPV lead to?' Which statement is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: HPV is a major cause of cervical cancer, a critical complication to highlight. Transmission mode is irrelevant, ovarian issues are unrelated, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, issues.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with ovarian cancer is prescribed radiation therapy for regional control of the disease. Which statement indicates the client requires further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nausea from radiation can be managed with antiemetics; this statement indicates a misconception. Preserving marks, daily treatments, and nutritional shakes are correct.
Question 5 of 5
The client who is four (4) months pregnant finds a lump in her breast and the biopsy is positive for Stage II cancer of the breast. Which treatment should the nurse anticipate the HCP recommending to the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In pregnancy, chemotherapy is often used for Stage II breast cancer after the first trimester to control disease while minimizing fetal risk. Lumpectomy or mastectomy is delayed until after delivery, and radiation is avoided during pregnancy.
