palpate. Then she places the arm on that side under her head.

E. Palpates her breast, using an overlapping circular pattern around her entire breast.


F. Palpates her breasts again, including up into her axillae, while taki - ✔️✔️Choices A

55. When palpating the small breasts of a young, slender woman the nurse should:




A. Wear clean gloves


B. Lift the hands when moving from one segment of the breast to another


C. Use both hands


D. Follow a systematic, overlapping pattern - ✔️✔️Choice D is correct; clean gloves are

required only if open lesions are present and when compressing the nipple if discharge

is anticipated; fingers should not be lifted; two hands are used for women with large,

pendulous breasts.


56. A nurse instructed a female client regarding vulvar self-examination (VSE). Which

statement made by the client indicates that further instruction is needed?




A. "I will perform this examination at least once a month, especially if I change sexual

partners or am sexually active."


B. "I will become familiar with how my genitalia look and feel so that I will be able to

detect changes."


C. "I will use the examination to determine when I should get medications at the

D. "I will wash my hands thoroughly before and after I examine myself." - ✔️✔️56. Choice

C is correct; self-examination should not be used for self-diagnosis but rather to detect

early changes, which would call for the guidance of a health care provider.


57. A women's health nurse practitioner is going to perform a pelvic examination on a

female client. Which nursing action would be least effective in enhancing the client's

comfort and relaxation during the examination?




A. Encourage the client to ask questions and express feelings and concerns before and

after the examination.


B. Ask the client questions as the examination is performed.


C. Allow the client to keep her shoes and socks on when placing her feet in the stirrups.


D. Instruct the client to place her hands over her diaphragm and take deep, slow

breaths. - ✔️✔️57. Choice B is correct; do not ask questions during the examination

because it may distract the client, inter- fering with relaxation measures she may be

using; offer explanations only as needed during the exami- nation.


58. When assessing women it is important for a nurse to keep in mind the possibility

that they are victims of violence. The nurse should:




A. Use an abuse assessment screen during the assessment of every woman

B. Recognize that abuse rarely occurs during pregnancy


C. Assess a woman's legs and back as the most commonly injured areas


D. Notify the woman's partner immediately if abuse is suspected - ✔️✔️58. Choice A is

correct; all women should be screened because abuse can happen to any woman;

abuse can begin or escalate during pregnancy; the most com- monly injured sites are

head, neck, chest, abdomen, breasts, and upper extremities. If abuse is suspected, the

nurse needs to assess further to encourage disclo- sure and then assist the woman to

take action and formulate a safety plan. Nurses should follow the laws of their state with

regard to reporting instances of abuse.


59. A 52-year-old woman asks the nurse practitioner about how often she should be

assessed for the common health problems that women of her age could experience.

The nurse recommends:




A. An endometrial biopsy every 3 to 4 years


B. A fecal occult blood test annually


C. A mammogram every other year


D. Bone mineral density testing annually - ✔️✔️59. Choice B is correct; bone mineral

density testing should be initiated at 65 years of age or older unless risk factors are

present; endometrial biopsies are not recommended on a routine basis for most women
