2)  A client asks, “Is it okay for me to use a vaginal douche each day when I’m on my period?” How should the nurse respond?

1. “Douching should be avoided when you’re on your period.”
2. “Regular douching is necessary in order to promote good hygiene.”
3. “Using a douche each day will help prevent vaginal infections from occurring.”
4. “During your period, douching will help promote the flow of menstrual secretions.”

Answer:   1

Explanation:

1. Women should avoid douching during menstruation because the cervix is dilated to permit the downward flow of menstrual fluids from the uterine lining.
2. Douching as a hygiene practice is unnecessary because the vagina cleanses itself.
3. Douching washes away the natural mucus and upsets the vaginal flora, which can make the vagina more susceptible to infection.
4. During menstruation, douching may interfere with downward flow of menstrual fluids from the uterine lining.

3)  What should the gynecology clinic nurse recommend for the client experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?

1. “Increase your consumption of red meat when you feel symptoms, and eat three large meals per day.”
2. “Engage in aerobic activity often throughout the month, and continue exercising when your symptoms begin.”
3. “Decrease your dietary intake of dairy and soy slightly during the month, and especially during your days of bleeding.”
4. “Eat more chocolate and drink more caffeine beginning a week prior to when your menstrual cycle bleeding should begin.”

Answer:   2

Explanation:

1. Decreased red meat consumption can be beneficial to reduce PMS symptoms, as will eating several small meals per day rather than three large meals.
2. Regular aerobic activity helps to decrease PMS symptoms.
3. 1200 mg of calcium per day can help decrease PMS symptoms. The calcium can either come from supplements or be obtained through dietary intake of dairy and soy products.
4. Chocolate and caffeine contain methylxanthines; therefore, intake of chocolate, coffee, and colas should be limited throughout the month.

5)  Which issues should the nurse consider when counseling a client on contraceptive methods? Select all that apply.

1. Age at menarche
2. Efficacy of the method
3. Future childbearing plans
4. Whether the client is a vegetarian
5. Cultural perspectives on menstruation and pregnancy

Answer:   2, 3, 5

Explanation:

1. Age at menarche has no impact on contraceptive method use.
2. Efficacy of contraceptive methods varies and must be considered when discussing contraception with clients. When pregnancy is medically contraindicated, high-efficacy methods (such as an IUD, hormonal methods, or sterilization) should be discussed with the client. When the client would like to avoid pregnancy at this time, but pregnancy is not medically contraindicated, lower-efficacy methods (such as diaphragm, cervical cap, or Today sponge) could be discussed.
3. If a client desires children in the future, sterilization methods would be inappropriate to discuss.
4. Vegetarianism has no impact on contraceptive method use.
5. Cultural and religious beliefs, practices, and sanctions must be considered when discussing contraception with clients in order to avoid insulting a client for whom a particular type of contraceptive method is prohibited by her background.

2. “Knowing the texture and feel of my breasts is important.”
3. “I should perform BSE 1 week prior to the start of my period.”
4. “When I reach menopause, I will perform BSE every 2 months.”
5. “I should inspect my breasts while in a supine position, with my arms at my sides.”

Answer:   1, 2

Explanation:

12)  The nurse is presenting a session on intimate partner violence. Which statement indicates a need for further education?

2. “Everyone experiences anger and hitting in a relationship.”
3. “Abusers can be either husbands or boyfriends or wives or girlfriends.”
4. “My daughter is not to blame for the violence in her marriage.”

Answer:   2

Explanation:

2. Violence is not a normal part of intimate relationships. This statement indicates that the client has likely been a victim of domestic violence.
3. Abusers can be spouses or boyfriends or girlfriends. Intimate partner violence can be experienced in any intimate relationship, regardless of whether the couple is straight, gay, or lesbian, and both within marriage and outside of marriage.
4. The victims of violence are not the cause of the violence. Abusers are responsible for their violent behavior. Avoiding blaming and shaming of victims of domestic violence is important to establish a therapeutic relationship.

3. Conditions such as vaginitis produce a foul-smelling discharge that women often describe as having a “fishy” odor. This is not expected or normal.
4. The average flow is approximately 25 to 60 mL per period.
5. Because of the potential for developing an infection, a woman should wash her hands before inserting a fresh tampon and should avoid touching the tip of the tampon when unwrapping it or before insertion. Hand washing should also occur after using the commode.

2. Spouse yelling at the client
3. Client asking the nurse to leave
