Extract:

Question 1 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 2 of 5

The nurse is preparing an educational presentation for women in the community. Which primary nursing intervention should the nurse discuss regarding the development of ovarian cancer?

A. Instruct the clients not to use talcum powder on the perineum. B. Encourage the clients to consume diets with a high-fat content. C. Teach the women to have a lower pelvic sonogram yearly. D. Discuss the need to be aware of the family history of cancer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Family history awareness is key for ovarian cancer risk assessment, guiding screening or genetic testing. Talc use is controversial, high-fat diets are not recommended, and yearly sonograms are not standard.

Question 3 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?

A. The client will develop antibodies to protect against a future infection. B. This infection will not have any long-term effects for the client. C. Both the client and the sexual partner must be treated simultaneously. D. Once the infection subsides, the pain will go away and not be a problem.

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.

A. Has your energy level changed remarkably? B. Do you have intercourse more than once a week? C. How many sanitary pads do you use? D. Is the bleeding light or dark red? E. Do you have itching and swelling of the labia? F. Have you lost weight in the past few months?

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

A. I need to have a sonogram to diagnose this problem.' B. I need to practice Kegel exercises to help strengthen my muscles.' C. I lose my urine when I sneeze because of my cystocele.' D. I can never have sexual intercourse again.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Cystocele does not preclude sexual intercourse; this statement indicates a misconception needing correction. Sonograms aid diagnosis, Kegels are appropriate, and stress incontinence is a symptom.
