SECTION 1: WOMEN'S HEALTH & REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS
hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 1 hg




The nurse is teaching a patient about breast cancer screening. According to current American C
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




ancer Society guidelines, at what age should women at average risk begin annual screening ma
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




mmograms?

A) 40
hg




B) 45
hg




C) 50
hg




D) 55 hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: Current guidelines recommend that women at average risk begin annual screening ma
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




mmograms at age 45. They may choose to begin as early as age 40. Clinical breast exams are no
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




longer recommended as a screening tool .
hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 2 hg




A patient is diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. Which finding is a classic sign of inflam
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




matory breast cancer? hg hg




A) A palpable, firm, non-tender mass in the upper outer quadrant
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




B) "Peau d'orange" (orange-peel appearance) of the breast skin
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) Nipple retraction without other skin changes
hg hg hg hg hg hg




D) A small, movable nodule
hg hg hg hg

,Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: "Peau d'orange" is a classic sign of inflammatory breast cancer, caused by lymphatic o
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




bstruction by cancer cells. This is considered an aggressive form of breast cancer .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 3 hg




A patient with a BRCA1 gene mutation asks about her risk for breast cancer. What is the nurse'
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




s best response?
hg hg




A) "You have a moderately increased risk compared to the general population."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




B) "You have a significantly increased risk, estimated between 45–65% by age 70."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) "Your risk is slightly elevated, but less than that of the general population."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




D) "You are not at increased risk unless you also have a family history."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations significantly increase the risk for breast and ovarian canc
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




ers. Women with these mutations have an estimated 45–
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




65% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer by age 70 .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 4 hg




A patient with uterine fibroids asks why she is anemic. The nurse explains that the most likely c
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




ause is: hg




A) Decreased production of red blood cells
hg hg hg hg hg hg




B) Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) Iron malabsorption from gastrointestinal pressure
hg hg hg hg hg




D) Nutritional deficiency from poor appetite
hg hg hg hg hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: Iron- hg




deficiency anemia from menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) is the most common complicatio
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




n of fibroids, especially submucosal or intramural types .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 5 hg




Which statement is accurate regarding uterine fibroids and estrogen?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) Fibroids shrink when estrogen levels are high
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




B) Estrogen has no effect on fibroid growth
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) Estrogen is the most important stimulus for fibroid growth
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




D) Progesterone alone is responsible for fibroid growth
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg

,Correct Answer: C hg hg




Rationale: Estrogen is the primary hormonal stimulus for uterine leiomyoma growth. Progesterone
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




also plays a role, but estrogen is the main factor. This explains why fibroids often grow during rep
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




roductive years and shrink after menopause . hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 6 hg




A patient is scheduled for a myomectomy. The nurse explains that this procedure is preferred o
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




ver hysterectomy when:
hg hg




A) The patient has completed childbearing
hg hg hg hg hg




B) The patient wishes to preserve fertility
hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) The fibroids are large and symptomatic
hg hg hg hg hg hg




D) The patient is near menopause
hg hg hg hg hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: Myomectomy is the surgical treatment of choice for women who wish to preserve fertili
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




ty. However, there is a risk of fibroid recurrence (50–60% within 5 years) .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 7 hg




A patient with advanced ovarian cancer asks about the purpose of CA-
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




125 testing. The nurse's best response is:
hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) "It is used as a screening test for early ovarian cancer."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




B) "It helps monitor response to treatment and detect recurrence."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




C) "It is a definitive diagnostic test for ovarian cancer."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




D) "It replaces the need for imaging studies."
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: CA- hg




125 is a tumor marker used to monitor treatment response and detect recurrence. It is NOT recom
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




mended as a screening test for average-risk women due to lack of sensitivity and specificity .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 8 hg




Risk factors for developing ovarian cancer include all of the following EXCEPT:
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) Early menarche
hg hg




B) Late menopause
hg hg




C) Multiple full-term pregnancies
hg hg hg




D) BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation
hg hg hg hg hg

, Correct Answer: C hg hg




Rationale: Multiple full- hg hg




term pregnancies (increased parity) are protective against ovarian cancer. Early menarche, late m
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




enopause, nulliparity, and genetic mutations are risk factors .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 9 hg




Postmenopausal bleeding is most commonly associated with which malignancy?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) Ovarian cancer
hg hg




B) Cervical cancer
hg hg




C) Vaginal cancer
hg hg




D) Endometrial cancer
hg hg




Correct Answer: D hg hg




Rationale: Endometrial cancer typically presents with postmenopausal bleeding. Other symptoms i
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




nclude watery or blood-tinged discharge and pelvic or back pain .
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




Question 10 hg




Which of the following is a risk factor for endometrial cancer?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) Early menopause
hg hg




B) Late menopause
hg hg




C) Low estrogen states
hg hg hg




D) Use of combination oral contraceptives
hg hg hg hg hg




Correct Answer: B hg hg




Rationale: Late menopause (after age 55) increases the duration of estrogen exposure without the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




opposing effect of progesterone, raising endometrial cancer risk. Early menopause reduces risk. Co
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




mbination oral contraceptives are protective .
hg hg hg hg hg




Question 11 hg




A 35-year-old patient with a BRCA1 mutation is deciding between surveillance and risk-
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




reducing salpingo- hg




oophorectomy (RRSO). The nurse explains that RRSO is recommended by age:
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




A) 30
hg




B) 35
hg




C) 40
hg




D) 45 hg
