Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which question is most important for the nurse to ask next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Determining if the client has ever menstruated is critical to differentiate between primary amenorrhea (never menstruated) and secondary amenorrhea (cessation of periods), guiding further assessment.
Question 2 of 5
The client is diagnosed with benign uterine fibroid tumors. Which question should the nurse ask to determine if the client is experiencing a complication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain location helps identify complications like fibroid degeneration or pressure on organs. Missed periods are common, shortness of breath is unrelated, and pregnancy history is less relevant.
Question 3 of 5
The client has undergone a wedge resection for cancer of the left breast. Which discharge instruction should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Limiting lifting with the affected arm prevents strain and lymphedema risk post-wedge resection. Claiming cancer is fully removed is misleading, Hemovac drains are uncommon in lumpectomy, and reconstruction is not universally needed.
Question 4 of 5
The 80-year-old male client has been diagnosed with cancer of the prostate. Which treatment should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Radiation therapy is often preferred for elderly patients with prostate cancer, balancing efficacy and lower surgical risk. Prostatectomy is invasive, DES is rarely used, and penile implants are unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
On the basis of this client's age, which statement by the nurse is the best explanation for the client's discomfort?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Postmenopausal vaginal dryness due to decreased mucus production is a common cause of painful intercourse in older women.
