115 Questions with Step-by-Step Answers | 100% Verified | A+ Graded Review
OVERVIEW :
NSG 3280 Actual Exam 1 to 4 covers comprehensive adult health and genetics
content essential for nursing practice. It includes male and female reproductive
disorders, breast cancer, prostate pathology, STIs, aging-related physiologic
changes, and genetic inheritance patterns. Focus areas include HPV risk,
phimosis/paraphimosis emergencies, BPH, testicular and ovarian cancers,
Marfan, Huntington, PKU, and TORCH teratogens, emphasizing assessment, risk
factors, clinical management and evidence-based nursing interventions for
diverse populations across lifespan.
Answers are in bold Green, with rationales after.

1. A nurse is educating a group of young adults on risk factors for HPV
Answers – Galen
infection. Which individual is at greatest risk?
A. A 30-year-old woman in a monogamous marriage
50 Questions with Step-by-Step Answers | 100% Verified | A+ Graded Review
B. A 22-year-old with multiple sexual partners
INTRODUCTION :
C. A 40-year-old man with no sexual history
D. A 19-year-old abstinent college student
Correct answer: B
→ B. A 22-year-old with multiple sexual partners
,Rationale: The highest prevalence of HPV is in individuals ages 16–25 who
have multiple sexual partners. Option A is lower risk due to a monogamous
relationship. Option C is unlikely given no reported sexual history. Option D
is at very low risk due to abstinence.
2. A patient presents with inability to retract the foreskin over the glans
penis. The nurse identifies this condition as:
A. Phimosis
B. Paraphimosis
C. Priapism
D. Peyronie’s disease
Correct answer: A
→ A. Phimosis
Rationale: Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin, which can
predispose to penile cancer. Paraphimosis is when the foreskin is retracted
and cannot be returned, creating a urologic emergency. Priapism is a
prolonged painful erection. Peyronie’s disease involves fibrous plaques in
the penis causing curvature.
3. Which genital condition is considered a urological emergency due to risk
of vascular compromise?
A. Phimosis
B. Paraphimosis
C. Balanitis
D. Hydrocele
Correct answer: B
→ B. Paraphimosis
Rationale: Paraphimosis causes venous congestion, swelling, and edema of
the glans, making it a urologic emergency. Phimosis is not emergent unless
recurrent infections occur. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans and
foreskin. Hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around the testis, not emergent.
,4. Erectile dysfunction can result from decreased secretion of which
hormone?
A. Testosterone
B. Luteinizing hormone
C. Estrogen
D. Progesterone
Correct answer: B
→ B. Luteinizing hormone
Rationale: Low luteinizing hormone leads to decreased stimulation of
testosterone production, contributing to erectile dysfunction. Testosterone
is the end hormone affected, not the root cause. Estrogen and progesterone
are not primary factors in male erectile function.
5. A penile tumescence test evaluates for which disorder?
A. Testicular torsion
B. Erectile dysfunction
C. Prostate cancer
D. Varicocele
Correct answer: B
→ B. Erectile dysfunction
Rationale: The penile tumescence test monitors nocturnal erections to
distinguish psychogenic from organic erectile dysfunction. Testicular torsion
is diagnosed with Doppler ultrasound. Prostate cancer requires PSA or
biopsy. Varicocele is identified by physical exam or ultrasound.
6. What cellular damage contributes to erectile dysfunction development?
A. Damage to osteoblasts
B. Damage to vascular endothelial cells
, C. Damage to fibroblasts
D. Damage to Schwann cells
Correct answer: B
→ B. Damage to vascular endothelial cells
Rationale: Erectile dysfunction is strongly linked to vascular endothelial cell
damage, leading to impaired nitric oxide and vasodilation. Osteoblasts are
for bone formation. Fibroblasts produce connective tissue. Schwann cells
affect peripheral nerve myelination.
7. A hallmark sign of epididymitis is:
A. Scrotal erythema with itching
B. Tenderness along posterior testis
C. Fluid-filled sac around testis
D. Pain relieved by scrotal elevation
Correct answer: B
→ B. Tenderness along posterior testis
Rationale: Epididymitis presents with tenderness of the epididymis along
the posterior and superior aspects of the testis. Hydrocele is a fluid-filled
sac. Scrotal erythema and itching may suggest fungal infection. Pain relief
with elevation (Prehn’s sign) may be supportive but tenderness is hallmark.
8. A patient with scrotal pain should first be evaluated with which
diagnostic test?
A. CBC
B. Urinalysis
C. Scrotal ultrasound
D. CT scan
Correct answer: B
→ B. Urinalysis
