Extract:
Question 1 of 5
While assessing a male client with tertiary syphilis, which finding is most characteristic of this stage of the disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tertiary syphilis can cause neurological symptoms like tabes dorsalis, characterized by stabbing leg pain due to nerve damage.
Question 2 of 5
Which laboratory test should the nurse expect for the client to rule out the diagnosis of syphilis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: RPR-CT is a standard screening test for syphilis, detecting antibodies. Vaginal cultures, Gram stains, and immunological assays are not specific for syphilis.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with testicular cancer is scheduled for a unilateral orchiectomy. Which information is important to teach regarding sexual functioning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Unilateral orchiectomy typically preserves libido and orgasm, as one testis maintains hormonal function. Ejaculation issues, hormone therapy, or penile implants are not standard post-surgery.
Question 4 of 5
The client who had a right modified radical mastectomy four (4) years before is being admitted for a cardiac work-up for chest pain. Which intervention is most important for the nurse to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Post-mastectomy, the affected arm is at risk for lymphedema; avoiding venipuncture or BP on that arm is critical. Chemotherapy history is less urgent, Adriamycin relates to cardiotoxicity but not immediate care, and chest wall exam is secondary.
Question 5 of 5
The male client presents to the public health clinic complaining of joint pain and malaise. On assessment, the nurse notes a rash on the trunk, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Which action should the nurse implement next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Joint pain, malaise, and a rash on palms/soles suggest secondary syphilis; confirming a prior chancre sore supports this diagnosis. Partner history, dermatology referral, and urine tests are less urgent.
