Question 1

Which clinical manifestation noted during the physical examination is a prodromal sign for genital herpes?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal sensation such as tingling and itching in the genital area is a prodromal sign for genital herpes. Other symptoms such as dysuria, muscle pain, and swollen lymph nodes may also occur during an outbreak, but are not necessarily prodromal signs.

Question 2

The nurse is providing care to a patient who will have advanced cervical lesions removed via cold knife conization.Which term should the nurse use when educating the patient about this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Cold knife conization involves surgical excision of a portion of the cervix to remove advanced cervical lesions. Ablation is the destruction of tissue by various methods such as heat or laser, which is not the case in cold knife conization. Hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus, not just a portion of the cervix. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment involving the use of drugs to treat cancer, not a surgical procedure to remove cervical lesions.

Question 3

The nurse is providing care to a patient who will receive toxic medication via intravenous infusion to treat cancer.Which term should the nurse use when educating the patient about this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Chemotherapy is the term used to describe the use of toxic medications to treat cancer. Ablation refers to the removal of tissue or cells, excision refers to the surgical removal of tissue, and hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. None of these terms accurately describe the procedure the patient will receive.

Question 4

The nurse is providing care to a patient who will have abnormal cervical tissue removed via cryosurgery.Which term should the nurse use when educating the patient about this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Cryosurgery involves the destruction or ablation of abnormal tissue using extreme cold, so the term "ablation" is appropriate for educating the patient about this procedure.

Question 5

The nurse is providing care to a patient who will have the uterus removed due to uterine cancer.Which term should the nurse use when educating the patient about this procedure?

Accepted Answer

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, and is the appropriate term for the procedure described in the scenario. Ablation refers to the destruction or removal of tissue, while excision refers to the surgical removal of tissue. Chemotherapy is a treatment modality that involves the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. While chemotherapy may be part of the treatment plan for uterine cancer, it is not the primary method of treatment in this scenario.
