Correct Answer :3,5
Rationale 1: The loss of estrogen as a woman ages is responsible for the reduction in vaginal
lubrication. Patients experiencing thisloss may require lubricantsto promote comfort. Rationale
2: The vaginal dryness associated with menopause places the woman at an increased risk for the
development of vaginal infections. Rationale 3: The ovariesshrink in size as a result of
menopause. A palpable ovary should be considered enlarged. Rationale 4: Axillary hair
becomessparser. Rationale 5: Pubic hair turns gray and becomes sparser
During a vaginal examination of a 33-year-old patient, a nontender mass at the posterolateral
portion of the labia majora is noted. The nurse anticipates which diagnosis?
1. Rectocele

3. Bartholin cyst
4. Cyst of the Skene's gland –
Correct Answer :3
Rationale 1: A rectocele results when the walls between the rectum and the vagina become
weakened. Rationale 2: A fistula results when there is an opening between two separate organs.
Rationale 3: The Bartholin glands are located at the posterolateral labia majora. These glands are
responsible for providing lubrication to the female genitalia. A swelling in this area is consistent
with the diagnosis of a Bartholin cyst. Rationale 4: The Skene's glands are located on either side
of the urethral meatus.

patient's question. Rationale 3: Various palpation patterns may be used as long as every part of
each breast is palpated, including the axillary tail, or the tail of Spence, which is the breast tissue
that extends from the upper outer quadrant toward and into the axillae. Rationale 4: Hair
distribution would be assessed with visualization, not palpation. Rationale 5: The nurse will
explain breast self-exam (BSE) to the patient.
