NMNC 3210 - EXAM 3 Questions AND Correct Answers
A 22-yr-old man is being treated at a college health care
clinic for gonorrhea. What should the nurse include in
patient teaching?
- "While being treated for the infection, you will not be
able to pass this infection on to your sexual partner."
- "It is important to complete your full course of
antibiotics in order to ensure that you become resistant
to reinfection."
- "While you're taking the antibiotics, you will need to
abstain from participating in sexual activity and drinking
alcohol."
- "The symptoms will resolve on their own, but it is
important for you to abstain from sexual activity while
this is occurring." - ✔✔- "While you're taking the
antibiotics, you will need to abstain from participating
in sexual activity and drinking alcohol."
Rationale:
Treatment for gonorrhea necessitates abstinence from
sexual activity (to prevent infection of partners) and
alcohol (to avoid urethral irritation). The disease is not
,self-limiting, nor does successful treatment confer
future resistance.
A 24-yr-old patient is at the clinic with symptoms of
purulent vaginal discharge, dysuria, and dyspareunia.
She is sexually active and has multiple partners. What
should the nurse explain as the rationale for Chlamydia
screening?
- Chlamydia is frequently comorbid with HIV.
- Untreated chlamydia infections can lead to sepsis.
- Untreated chlamydia infections may cause infertility.
- Chlamydia infections are treatable only in the early
stages. - ✔✔- Untreated chlamydia infections may
cause infertility.
Rationale:
Because of the potential for infertility, routine screening
for Chlamydia is recommended for women sexually
active younger than age 25 years and annually for those
older than 25 years with one or more risk factors for the
infection. Chlamydia is not a primary risk for sepsis and
is not noted to be strongly correlated with HIV
,infection. The disease is treatable at all stages of
infection.
A 27-year-old is in her third trimester. She gives the
nurse the following 24-hour dietary recall:Breakfast: 1
cup cereal with 1 cup skim milk, ½ cup orange
juiceLunch: 1 ounce ham and 2 slices whole wheat
bread and 1 cup yogurtSupper: 3 ounces broiled chicken
breast, ½ cup green beans, whole wheat rollSnack: 2
ounces cheese with 8 crackersWhen comparing this
dietary recall with MyPlate, which snacks should the
nurse suggest to the woman to meet her dietary
deficits?
- 1 cup cottage cheese with fresh fruit
- Grilled cheese sandwich
- Yogurt with walnuts, crackers
- 2 cups salad greens with 3 ounces lean turkey,
broccoli, and kidney beans - ✔✔- 2 cups salad greens
with 3 ounces lean turkey, broccoli, and kidney beans
Rationale:
The woman is low on protein, vitamin A source, and
vegetables. The broccoli and dark green salad greens
, are a good vitamin A source, plus they satisfy the need
for vegetables. The turkey and kidney beans satisfy the
protein needs. She has taken in more than the three
servings of dairy products and whole grains that she
needs. She is lacking in fruits and vegetables.
A 30-yr-old woman reports the recent appearance of
itchy, slightly painful lesions on her vulva, some of
which have recently burst. Which STI should the nurse
suspect first?
- Gonorrhea
- Chlamydia
- Genital warts
- Genital herpes - ✔✔- Genital herpes
Rationale:
A primary episode of genital herpes is often marked by
multiple small, vesicular lesions on the genitals. This
symptomatology is not associated with genital warts,
gonorrhea, or Chlamydia.
