NCLEX Questions on Genitourinary System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which urinary change provides the best evidence that the phenazopyridine (Pyridium) is achieving its intended therapeutic effect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Phenazopyridine is prescribed to relieve urinary burning, so a decrease in this symptom indicates the medication is effective.
Question 2 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse include when preparing a teaching plan for the client with chronic prostatitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Warm sitz baths reduce inflammation and pain in chronic prostatitis. Elevating feet is unrelated, tea/coffee are bladder irritants, and stopping antibiotics early risks recurrence.
Question 3 of 5
The client is diagnosed with a uric acid stone. Which foods should the client eliminate from the diet to help prevent reoccurrence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Uric acid stones are linked to high purine intake. Venison and sardines are high-purine foods, increasing uric acid production. Beer/colas affect hydration, asparagus/cabbage are low-purine, and cheese/eggs are less relevant.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for an elderly client who has an indwelling catheter. Which data warrant further investigation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: New-onset confusion and irritability in an elderly client with a catheter suggest a possible UTI, requiring investigation. Normal temperature, clear urine, and urge sensation are expected or less concerning.
Question 5 of 5
The client has been vomiting and has had numerous episodes of diarrhea. Which laboratory test should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vomiting and diarrhea cause significant potassium loss, leading to hypokalemia, which can cause arrhythmias. Calcium, phosphorus, and sodium are less critically affected in this scenario.
