Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for the nurse to add to the client's care plan at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: General anesthesia and abdominal surgery increase the risk of respiratory complications, making ineffective airway clearance a priority diagnosis.
Question 2 of 5
The client has had an exploratory laparotomy to remove an ovarian tumor. The pathology report classifies the tumor as a 'low malignancy potential' (LMP) tumor. Which statement explains the scientific rationale for this pathology report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: LMP tumors (borderline ovarian tumors) have malignant features but lower metastatic potential, with better prognosis than invasive ovarian cancer. They are cancerous, not precancerous, and do not inherently require adjuvant therapy or indicate poor prognosis.
Question 3 of 5
The client has an infected Bartholin’s cyst and the HCP has performed an incision and drainage (I&D) of the area. Which discharge instructions should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Completing antibiotics prevents recurrence of infection post-I&D. Drainage is expected, water avoidance is impractical, and prone positioning is unnecessary.
Question 4 of 5
The 67-year-old male client reports difficulty initiating a urinary stream, urinary frequency, and inability to completely empty the bladder. Which procedure would the nurse anticipate the health-care provider (HCP) performing first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: DRE is the initial procedure for assessing prostate enlargement (e.g., BPH), which causes urinary symptoms. PSA, ultrasound, and biopsy are follow-ups if DRE is abnormal.
Question 5 of 5
If the client reports all of the following data, which factor is most likely contributing to the bleeding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of oral contraceptives, especially in the first few months, making it the most likely cause of vaginal bleeding outside expected menses.
