Question 1

The nurse correlates which clinical manifestations to the diagnosis of prostate cancer? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Fatigue, back pain, and hematuria are common clinical manifestations associated with prostate cancer. Fatigue can result from cancer itself or the body's effort to fight it. Back pain may occur if cancer spreads to the spine or pelvis, causing discomfort in those areas. Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be a sign of prostate cancer affecting the urinary tract. Scrotal edema and bulging in the inguinal area are not typically associated with prostate cancer.

Question 2

In planning teaching for a patient diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, the nurse includes which information in the teaching plan?

Accepted Answer

Stage III breast cancer is characterized by larger tumor sizes and/or significant involvement of nearby lymph nodes, but not distant metastasis, making option B correct. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe stage III breast cancer.

Question 3

Which statement by the patient who experienced blunt testicular trauma indicates the need for further teaching?

Accepted Answer

Using a heating pad on the area of blunt testicular trauma can increase blood flow to the area, potentially worsening swelling and pain, which is not recommended. Ice packs are generally advised to reduce swelling and pain. Choices B, C, and D are appropriate measures for managing blunt testicular trauma.

Question 4

The nurse monitors for which clinical manifestations in the patient being treated for locally invasive prostate cancer? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The nurse monitors for which clinical manifestations...

Question 5

In planning an educational session on testicular trauma, the nurse includes which information in the presentation?

Accepted Answer

Blunt trauma is more prevalent than penetrating trauma in cases of testicular injury.

Question 6

In administering antiestrogen medications to a male patient diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the nurse correlates the effectiveness of this medication based on which mechanism of action?

Accepted Answer

Antiestrogen medications work by blocking the effects of estrogen on breast cancer cells. Since estrogen can promote the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells, blocking its action slows down the growth of these cancer cells.

Question 7

The nurse is caring for a patient with erectile dysfunction (ED). Which medication should the nurse anticipate being prescribed for this patient? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Tadalafil (Cialis), Sildenafil (Viagra), and Vardenafil (Levitra) are phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Buspirone (BuSpar) is an anxiolytic, and Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a stimulant medication used primarily for ADHD, neither of which are used for ED.

Question 8

The nurse monitor for which risk factors in the patient diagnosed with prostate cancer? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Prostate cancer risk factors include advanced age, diets high in dairy and red meat, and African American ethnicity. Work history as a laborer is not specifically linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer.

Question 9

Which statement by a male patient scheduled for a radical mastectomy for an aggressive form of breast cancer indicates the need for further teaching?

Accepted Answer

The statement "I will be able to retain my nipple" indicates a need for further teaching because in a radical mastectomy, the entire breast tissue including the nipple is removed to ensure all cancerous cells are eradicated. This procedure often involves the removal of the entire breast, underlying chest muscles, and lymph nodes in the area to prevent the spread of cancer.

Question 10

In preparing an educational presentation about risk factors for prostate cancer, the nurse includes which information? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

- Age older than 65 is a significant risk factor for prostate cancer, as the risk increases with age.- Diets high in red meat have been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer.- Family history of prostate cancer significantly increases a person's risk, especially if a first-degree relative has been diagnosed.
