Question 1
Approximately what percentage of cervical cancer cases occur during
pregnancy?
A. 1%
B. 3%
C. 10%
D. 15%
Correct Answer: B. 3%
Rationale:
Cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is uncommon, but it can
occur because cervical screening and evaluation may identify
abnormalities during prenatal care. The figure of approximately 3% is
the key fact being tested here. Pregnancy itself does not protect
,against cervical neoplasia, and abnormal cervical findings still require
appropriate evaluation according to clinical guidelines.
• A. 1% — Incorrect: This underestimates the approximate
proportion represented in the study material.
• C. 10% — Incorrect: This substantially overestimates how
frequently cervical cancer occurs during pregnancy.
• D. 15% — Incorrect: This is far higher than the expected
proportion.
Exam Tip:
When a question asks for a specific percentage, focus on recognizing
the tested fact rather than trying to calculate it. Cervical cancer
associated with pregnancy is rare.
Question 2
A patient with diabetes asks how to reduce her risk of developing
recurrent vaginal infections. Which teaching is most important?
A. Stop antidiabetic medication when glucose levels improve
B. Avoid all carbohydrates permanently
C. Maintain good glucose control and take diabetes medications as
prescribed
D. Use vaginal antibiotics routinely even when asymptomatic
, Correct Answer: C. Maintain good glucose control and take
diabetes medications as prescribed
Rationale:
Good glycemic control is important because persistent
hyperglycemia can increase susceptibility to infections, including
vulvovaginal candidiasis. Elevated glucose can create a more
favorable environment for microbial growth and can impair aspects of
normal immune function. Therefore, adherence to prescribed diabetes
treatment is an important preventive strategy.
The nurse should reinforce medication adherence, glucose
monitoring, appropriate nutrition, and recognition of infection
symptoms rather than recommending unnecessary antimicrobial
treatment.
• A. Stop antidiabetic medication — Incorrect: Stopping
prescribed medication can cause hyperglycemia and potentially
increase infection risk.
• B. Avoid all carbohydrates — Incorrect: Complete
carbohydrate elimination is unnecessary and is not standard
diabetes management.
• D. Routine vaginal antibiotics — Incorrect: Unnecessary
antimicrobial use can cause adverse effects and contribute to
antimicrobial resistance. Treatment should be based on an
appropriate diagnosis.
