Which patient in the women’s health clinic will the nurse expect to teach about an endometrial biopsy? 1 A 25-yr-old patient who has a family history of hereditary . nonpolyposis colorectal cancer 2 A 45-yr-old patient who has had six previous full-term pregnancies and . two spontaneous abortions Increased BUN, whats first action: assess patient’s dietary habits Trouble voiding, “I cant pee in public”: close curtain provide privacy Acute kidney injury lab: K 5.7, Mg 3.1 Glomerulonephritis: 24 hr collection Cause of acute pyelonephritits: urinary retention Risk of bladder cancer: 86y with 50 pack year cig Primary syphilis: are you allergic to penicillin I feel chained to hemodialysis machine: tell me more Opaque color: take a sample Renal calculi: 3L of fluid a day Acute kidney injury after mva: fluid replacement Renal CA who only has one kidney: microwave ablation Polycystic renal disease: blood transfusion Urinary incontinence: avoid caffeine in food and drinks Cause of acute kidney injury: myocardial infarction Syphilis meds: penicillin G Chlamydia medication: azithromycin Erectile dysfunction: PDE 5 inhibitor Avoid with BPH: anticholinergic Uterine fibroids: heavy bleeding Risk for breast cancer: dense breast Functional urinary incontinence: slack with elastic waistbands that are easy to pull down I am embarrassed to talk about my symptoms: take your time, use words you’re familiar with Diarrhea is not a sign of secondary syphilis Avoid nephropathy: maintain stable blood glucose level  Question 1 0 out of 1 points A nurse cares for a patient with urinary incontinence. The patient states, “I am so embarrassed. My bladder leaks like a young child’s bladder.” How would the nurse respond? Selected Answer: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: “More people experience incontinence than you might think.” b. “I understand how you feel. I would be mortified.” c. “I can teach you strategies to help control your incontinence.” d. “Incontinence pads will minimize leaks in public.” The nurse should accept and acknowledge the patient’s concerns, and assist the patient to learn techniques that will allow control of urinary incontinence. The nurse should not diminish the patient’s concerns with the use of pads or stating statistics about the occurrence of incontinence.  Question 2 0 out of 1 points A nurse provides phone triage to a pregnant patient. The patient states, “I am experiencing a burning pain when I urinate.” How would the nurse respond? Selected Answer: [None Given] Answers: a. “Make an appointment with your provider to have your infection treated.” b. “You probably have a urinary tract infection. Drink more cranberry juice.” c. “Your pelvic wall is weakening. Pelvic muscle exercises should help.” d. Response Feedback: “This means labor will start soon. Prepare to go to the hospital.” Pregnant patients with a urinary tract infection require prompt and aggressive treatment because cystitis can lead to acute pyelonephritis during pregnancy. The nurse should encourage the patient to make an appointment and have the infection treated. Burning pain when urinating does not indicate the start of labor or weakening of pelvic muscles.  Question 3 0 out of 1 points A nurse cares for a patient who has pyelonephritis. The patient states, “I am embarrassed to talk about my symptoms.” How would the nurse respond? Selected Answer: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: “You seem anxious. Would you like a nurse of the same gender to care for you?” b. “I understand. Elimination is a private topic and shouldn’t be discussed.” c. “I am a professional. Your symptoms will be kept in confidence.” d. “Take your time. It is okay to use words that are familiar to you.” Patients may be uncomfortable discussing issues related to elimination and the genitourinary area. The nurse would encourage the patient to use language that is familiar to the patient. The nurse would not make promises that cannot be kept, like keeping the patient’s symptoms confidential. The nurse must assess the patient and cannot take the time to stop the discussion or find another nurse to complete the assessment.  Question 4 0 out of 1 points A nurse assesses a patient who has had two episodes of bacterial cystitis in the last 6 months. Which questions would the nurse ask? (Select all that apply.) Selected [None Given] A nurse cares for patients with urinary incontinence. Which types of incontinence are correctly paired with their clinical manifestation? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: Functional incontinence—urine loss results from abnormal detrusor contractions b. Urge incontinence—loss of urine upon feeling the need to void c. Reflex incontinence—leakage of urine without lower urinary tract disorder d. Overflow incontinence—constant dribbling of urine e. Stress incontinence—urine loss with physical exertion Stress incontinence is a loss of urine with physical exertion, coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Urge incontinence presents with an abrupt and strong urge to void and usually has a large amount of urine released with each occurrence. Overflow incontinence occurs with bladder distention and results in a constant dribbling of urine. Functional incontinence is the leakage of urine caused by factors other than a disorder of the lower urinary tract. Reflex incontinence results from abnormal detrusor contractions from a neurologic abnormality.  Question 8 0 out of 1 points A nurse teaches a patient about self-care after experiencing a urinary calculus treated by lithotripsy. Which statements would the nurse include in this patient’s discharge teaching? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] “It is normal to experience pain and difficulty urinating.” b. “Finish the prescribed antibiotic even if you are feeling better.” c. “Report any blood present in your urine.” Response Feedback: d. “The bruising on your back may take several weeks to resolve.” e. “Drink at least 3 L of fluid each day.” The patient should be taught to finish the prescribed antibiotic to ensure that he or she does not get a urinary tract infection. The patient should drink at least 3 L of fluid daily to dilute potential stone-forming crystals, prevent dehydration, and promote urine flow. After lithotripsy, the patient should expect bruising that may take several weeks to resolve. The patient should also experience blood in the urine for several days. The patient should report any pain, fever, chills, or difficulty with urination to the provider as these may signal the beginning of an infection or the formation of another stone.  Question 9 0 out of 1 points A nurse teaches a female patient who has stress incontinence. Which statements would the nurse include about pelvic muscle exercises? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: “Pelvic muscle exercises should only be performed sitting upright with your feet on the floor.” b. “Like any other muscle in your body, you can make your pelvic muscles stronger by contracting them.” c. “After you have been doing these exercises for a couple days, your control of urine will improve.” d. “Tighten your pelvic muscles for a slow count of 10 and then relax for a slow count of 10.” e. “When you start and stop your urine stream, you are using your pelvic muscles.” The patient should be taught that the muscles used to start and stop urination are pelvic muscles, and that pelvic muscles can be strengthened by contracting and relaxing them. The patient should tighten pelvic muscles for a slow count of 10 and then relax the muscles for a slow count of 10, and perform this exercise 15 times while in lying-down, sitting-up, and standing positions. The patient should begin to notice improvement in control of urine after several weeks of exercising the pelvic muscles.  Question 10 0 out of 1 points A nurse is teaching patients about different medications used to treat urinary incontinence. Which medications are paired with correct information? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: Anticholinergics: Assess the patient for a history of cataracts b. Estrogen cream: Apply a thin layer only c. Alpha-adrenergics: Instruct the patient to monitor the blood pressure d. Antidepressants: Warn patient to inform all providers about taking this drug e. Beta-blockers: Instruct the patient to obtain an annual flu vaccine Estrogen cream is applied in a thin layer only to avoid excessive absorption. Alpha adrenergics can increase blood pressure. Antidepressants have many drug–drug interactions, and the patient needs to inform all his or her providers about taking this drug. Anticholinergics should not be used in patients with glaucoma. Beta-blockers can affect both blood pressure and pulse. The flu vaccine is important but not related.  Question 11 0 out of 1 points After treating several young women for UTIs, the college nurse plans an educational offering on reducing the risk of getting a UTI. What information does the nurse include? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: overload e. Excessive GFR The GFR refers to the initial amount of urine that the kidneys filter from the blood. In the healthy adult, the normal GFR ranges between 100 and 120 mL/min, most of which is reabsorbed in the kidney tubules. A GFR of 40 mL/min is drastically reduced, with the patient experiencing fluid retention and risks for hypertension and pulmonary edema as a result of excess vascular fluid.  Question 15 0 out of 1 points A nurse assesses a patient who is recovering from a nephrostomy. Which assessment findings would alert the nurse to urgently contact the healthcare provider? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: Patient reports headache b. Urine draining from site c. Bloody drainage at site d. Foul-smelling drainage e. Clear drainage After a nephrostomy, the nurse would assess the patient for complications and urgently notify the provider if drainage decreases or stops, drainage is cloudy or foul smelling, the nephrostomy site leaks blood or urine, or the patient has back pain. Clear drainage is normal. A headache would be an unrelated finding.  Question 16 0 out of 1 points A nurse teaches a patient with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Which statements would the nurse include in this patient’s discharge teaching? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. “Take your blood pressure every morning.” b. “Adjust your diet to prevent diarrhea.” c. “Contact your provider if you have visual disturbances.” d. “Weigh yourself at the same time each day.” e. “Assess your urine for renal stones.” Response Feedback: A patient who has PKD would measure and record his or her blood pressure and weight daily, limit salt intake, and adjust dietary selections to prevent constipation. The patient should notify the provider if urine smells foul or has blood in it, as these are signs of a urinary tract infection or glomerular injury. The patient should also notify the provider if visual disturbances are experienced, as this is a sign of a possible berry aneurysm, which is a complication of PKD. Diarrhea and renal stones are not manifestations or complications of PKD; therefore, teaching related to these concepts would be inappropriate.  Question 17 0 out of 1 points The nurse is caring for five patients on the medical-surgical unit. Which patients would the nurse consider to be at risk for postrenal acute kidney injury (AKI)? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Man with prostate cancer b. Woman with blood clots in the urinary tract c. Firefighter with severe burns d. Young woman with lupus e. Patient with ureterolithiasis Response Feedback: Urine flow obstruction, such as prostate cancer, blood clots in the urinary tract, and kidney stones (ureterolithiasis), causes postrenal AKI. Severe burns would be a prerenal cause. Lupus would be an intrarenal cause for AKI.  Question 18 0 out of 1 points A nurse is caring for a postoperative 70-kg patient who had major blood loss during surgery. Which findings by the nurse would prompt immediate action to prevent acute kidney injury? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Blood pressure of 90/60 mm Hg b. Amber, odorless urine c. Urine output of 100 mL in 4 hours d. Urine output of 500 mL in 12 hours e. Large amount of sediment in the urine Response Feedback: The low urine output, sediment, and blood pressure would be reported to the provider. Postoperatively, the nurse would measure intake and output, check the characteristics of the urine, and report sediment, hematuria, and urine output of less than 0.5 mL/kg/hour for 3 to 4 hours. A urine output of 100 mL is low, but a urine output of 500 mL in 12 hours would be within normal limits. Perfusion to the kidneys is compromised with low blood pressure. The amber odorless urine is normal.  Question 19 0 out of 1 points A patient is hospitalized in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury (AKI) and is receiving tube feedings. The nurse is teaching the patient’s spouse about the kidney-specific formulation for the enteral solution compared to standard formulas. What components would be discussed in the nurse perform to maintain blood pressure? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Adjust the rate of extracorporeal blood flow. b. Place the patient in the Trendelenburg position. c. Administer a 250-mL bolus of normal saline. d. Contact the healthcare provider for orders. e. Stop the hemodialysis treatment. Response Feedback: Hypotension occurs often during hemodialysis treatments as a result of vasodilation from the warmed dialysate. Modest decreases in blood pressure, as is the case with this patient, can be maintained with rate adjustment, Trendelenburg positioning, and a fluid bolus. If the blood pressure drops considerably after two boluses and cooling dialysate, the hemodialysis can be stopped and the healthcare provider contacted.  Question 23 0 out of 1 points A patient is unsure of the decision to undergo peritoneal dialysis (PD) and wishes to discuss the advantages of this treatment with the nurse. Which statements by the nurse are accurate regarding PD? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] “It takes less time than hemodialysis treatments.” b. “There is less restriction of protein and fluids.” c. “You have flexible scheduling for the exchanges.” d. “You will have no risk for infection with Response Feedback: PD.” e. “You will not need vascular access to perform PD.” PD is based on exchanges of waste, fluid, and electrolytes in the peritoneal cavity. There is no need for vascular access. Protein is lost in the exchange, which allows for more protein and fluid in the diet. There is flexibility in the time for exchanges, but the treatment takes a longer period of time compared to hemodialysis. There still is risk for infection with PD, especially peritonitis.  Question 24 0 out of 1 points The nurse is taking a history of a 68-year-old woman. What assessment findings would indicate a high risk for the development of breast cancer? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Age greater than 65 years b. Osteoporosis c. Genetic factors d. Multiparity e. Increased breast density Respons e Feedbac k: The high-risk factors for breast cancer are age greater than 65 with the risk increasing until age 80; an increase in breast density because of more glandular and connective tissue; and inherited mutations of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes. Osteoporosis and multiparity are not risk factors for breast cancer. A high postmenopausal bone density and nulliparity are moderate and low increased risk factors, respectively.  Question 25 0 out of 1 points The nurse is formulating a teaching plan according to evidence-based breast cancer screening guidelines for a 50- year-old woman with low-risk factors. Which diagnostic methods would be included in the plan? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Breast self-awareness b. Breast ultrasound c. Annual mammogram d. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) e. Clinical breast examination Response Feedback: Guidelines recommend a screening annual mammogram for women aged 40 years and older, breast self- awareness, and a clinical breast examination. An MRI is recommended if there are known high-risk factors. A breast ultrasound is used if there are problems discovered with the initial screening or dense breast tissue.  Question 26 0 out of 1 points After a breast examination, the nurse is documenting assessment findings that indicate possible breast cancer. Which abnormal findings need to be included as part of the patient’s electronic medical record? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Mobile mass at two o’clock b. Peau d’orange c. Nontender axillary nodes d. Nipple retraction e. Dense breast tissue Response Feedback: In the documentation of a breast mass, skin changes such as dimpling (peau d’orange), nipple retraction, and whether the mass is fixed or movable are charted. The Response Feedback: mother, who lives 3 hours away.” Driving and sitting for extended periods of time should be avoided until the surgeon gives permission. For 2 to 6 weeks, exercise participation should also be avoided. All of the other responses demonstrate adequate knowledge for discharge. The patient should not lift anything heavier than 10 lbs (4.5 kg), should limit stair climbing, and should refrain from sexual intercourse.  Question 30 0 out of 1 points The nurse is taking the history of a 24-year-old patient diagnosed with cervical cancer. What possible risk factors would the nurse assess? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Younger than 18 at first intercourse b. Multiple sexual partners c. Poor diet d. Smoking e. Nulliparity Response Feedback: Smoking, multiple sexual partners, poor diet, and age less than 18 for first intercourse are all risk factors for cervical cancer. Nulliparity is a risk factor for endometrial cancer.  Question 31 0 out of 1 points A patient is scheduled to start external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for her endometrial cancer. Which teaching by the nurse is accurate? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] “You will need to be hospitalized during this therapy.” b. “The perineal area may become damaged with the radiation.” c. Response Feedback: “The technician applies new site markings before each treatment.” d. “It is not wise to stay out in the sun for long periods of time.” e. “Your skin needs to be inspected daily for any breakdown.” EBRT is usually performed in ambulatory care and does not require hospitalization. The patient needs to know to evaluate the skin, especially in the perineal area, for any breakdown, and avoid sunbathing. The technician does not apply new site markings, so the patient needs to avoid washing off the markings that indicate the treatment site.  Question 32 0 out of 1 points The nurse is teaching a patient who is undergoing brachytherapy about what to immediately report to her healthcare provider. Which signs and symptoms would be included in this teaching? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: Temperature of 99° F (37.2° C) b. Heavy vaginal bleeding c. Visible blood in the urine d. Abdominal pain e. Constipation for 3 days Health teaching for a patient having brachytherapy would emphasize reporting abdominal pain, visible blood in the urine, and heavy vaginal bleeding. Severe diarrhea (not constipation), urethral burning, extreme fatigue, and a fever over 100° F (37.7° C) would also be reported.  Question 33 0 out of 1 points A postmenopausal patient is experiencing low back and pelvic pain, fatigue, and bloody vaginal discharge. What laboratory tests would the nurse expect to see ordered for this patient if endometrial cancer is suspected? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: International normalized ratio (INR) b. Hemoglobin and hematocrit (H&H) c. Prothrombin time (PT) d. Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) e. White blood cell (WBC) count Serum tumor markers such as CA-125 assess for metastasis, especially if elevated. H&H would evaluate the possibility of anemia, a common finding with postmenopausal bleeding with endometrial cancer. WBC count is not indicated since there are no signs of infection. The INR and PT are coagulation tests to measure the time it takes for a fibrin clot to form. They are used to evaluate the extrinsic pathway of coagulation in patients receiving oral warfarin.  Question 34 0 out of 1 points A patient has recurrent vulvovaginitis. Which statements by the patient indicate a need for further teaching? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] “I should avoid having sex until my infection is gone.” b. “I need to take all of my antibiotics as prescribed.” c. “I can take a long, hot bath to relieve itching.” d. “I should not douche or use feminine hygiene sprays.” prostate cancer. Smoking and obesity are not known risk factors.  Question 38 0 out of 1 points A patient came to the clinic with erectile dysfunction. What are some possible causes of this condition that the nurse could discuss with the patient during history taking? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: Answers: a. [None Given] Response Feedback: Hour-long exercise sessions b. Long-term hypertension c. Diabetes mellitus d. Recent prostatectomy e. Consumption of beer each night Organic erectile dysfunction can be caused by surgical procedures, hypertension and its treatment, diabetes mellitus, and alcohol consumption. There is no evidence that exercise is related to this problem.  Question 39 0 out of 1 points The nurse is reviewing possible complications from a phalloplasty. What factors does the nurse include? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Necrosis of the neopenis b. Vaginal infections c. Urinary tract stenosis d. Infection of donor Response Feedback: site e. Rectal perforation Complications from phalloplasty include infection or scarring of the donor site, necrosis, and stenosis of the urinary tract. Rectal perforation can occur with vaginoplasty, as can infections.  Question 40 0 out of 1 points A student nurse is learning about the healthcare needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) patients. Which terms are correctly defined? (Select all that apply.) Selected Answers: [None Given] Answers: a. Gender dysphoria—distress caused by incongruence between natal sex and gender identity b. Transgender—a person who dresses in the clothing of the opposite sex c. Transition—the time between questioning and establishing a sexual identity d. Natal sex—the sex one is born with or is assigned to at birth e. Gender queer—a label used when gender identity does not conform to male or female Response Feedback: Gender dysphoria is emotional distress caused by the incongruence between natal sex (sex assigned at birth) and gender identity.
