The public health nurse is teaching young adolescents in a sexual health class the proper use of a condom. Which statements made by the students indicate teaching was successful? Select all that apply.
- A. Baby oil is an acceptable lubricant.
- B. Ensure a tight fit of the condom.
- C. Only use latex condoms.
- D. Place the condom on an erect penis.
- E. Store the condoms in a cool dry place.
- G. C,D,E
Correct Answer: Latex condoms are effective against STIs and pregnancy, unlike natural skin condoms. Condoms should be applied on an erect penis to prevent slippage, and stored in a cool, dry place to avoid damage. Baby oil degrades latex, and a tight fit increases breakage risk.

A breast biopsy indicates the presence of malignant cells, and the client is scheduled for a mastectomy. When preparing the client's preoperative plan of care, which area would the nurse most likely address as the priority?
- A. Fluid balance
- B. Body image
- C. Urinary elimination
- D. Activity
- G. B
Correct Answer: Body image is a priority due to the psychosocial impact of mastectomy on identity and self-esteem. Fluid balance, urinary elimination, and activity are less immediate concerns.
Rationale:
A laboratory technician arrives to draw blood for a complete blood count (CBC) for a client who had a right-sided mastectomy 8 hours ago. The client has an intravenous line with fluid infusing in her left antecubital space. To obtain the blood specimen, the technician places a tourniquet on the client's right arm. Which action by the nurse would be most appropriate?
- A. Call the surgeon to perform a femoral puncture.
- B. Assist in holding the client's arm still.
- C. Tell the technician to obtain the blood sample from the client's left arm.
- D. Suggest a finger stick be done on one of the client's left fingers.
- G. C
Correct Answer: Using the left arm avoids risks like lymphedema in the surgical arm. Femoral puncture is invasive, assisting with the right arm is harmful, and finger sticks are inadequate for CBC.

- A. Vaginal pH of 3
- B. Cervical bleeding on contact
- C. Fishy odor of discharge
- D. Yellowish-green discharge
