Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which specific complication should the nurse assess for in the client with a uterine prolapse recovering from an anterior and posterior repair?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Deep vein thrombosis is a significant risk post-pelvic surgery due to immobility and venous stasis. Orthostatic hypotension is unrelated, atelectasis is a respiratory risk, and Allen sign pertains to arterial occlusion.
Question 2 of 5
An elderly woman is diagnosed with pelvic relaxation disorder secondary to age-related changes. Which medication should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Estrogen strengthens pelvic tissues in postmenopausal women with pelvic relaxation. Cervidil and Pitocin are for labor, and progesterone is less effective for this condition.
Question 3 of 5
The client has had a total abdominal hysterectomy for cancer of the uterus. Which discharge instruction should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pelvic rest (no intercourse, tampons) prevents complications post-hysterectomy until HCP clearance. HRT is individualized, driving is restricted initially, and bleeding is abnormal.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with uterine cancer who has been receiving systemic therapy for six (6) months. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Mouth ulcers are a common chemotherapy side effect, requiring immediate assessment to manage pain and infection risk. Medication history, filgrastim administration, and emotional support are secondary.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse writes a problem of 'anticipatory grieving' for a client diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Which nursing intervention is priority for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Encouraging verbalization of feelings addresses anticipatory grieving, promoting emotional coping. Antidepressants are premature, CanSurmount is supportive but secondary, and advance directives are unrelated to grieving.
