The nurse is admitting a client diagnosed with trichomoniasis. Which assessment data support this diagnosis?
- A. Odorless, white, curdlike vaginal discharge.
- B. Strawberry spots on the vaginal surface and itching.
- C. Scant white vaginal discharge and dyspareunia.
- D. Purulent discharge from the endocervix and pelvic pain.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Trichomoniasis causes strawberry spots (petechiae) on the vagina and itching due to inflammation. Curdlike discharge is candidiasis, scant discharge/dyspareunia is nonspecific, and purulent discharge suggests PID.
The nurse is assessing a 34-year-old female client with fibrocystic breasts. Which question should the nurse ask the client during the assessment?
- A. Are your breasts more tender during your period?'
- B. Have you ever developed an allergy to chocolate?'
- C. Can you tell me more about your feelings of having fibrocystic breast changes?'
- D. Have you considered having a prophylactic mastectomy?'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fibrocystic breast changes cause cyclical tenderness, worse premenstrually; this question assesses symptoms. Chocolate allergies, feelings, and prophylactic mastectomy are irrelevant.
The client has had a total abdominal hysterectomy for cancer of the uterus. Which discharge instruction should the nurse teach?
- A. The client should take HRT every day to prevent bone loss.
- B. The client should practice pelvic rest until seen by the HCP.
- C. The client can drive a car as soon as she is discharged from the hospital.
- D. The client should expect some bleeding after this procedure.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pelvic rest (no intercourse, tampons) prevents complications post-hysterectomy until HCP clearance. HRT is individualized, driving is restricted initially, and bleeding is abnormal.

- B. Have you had rectal sexual intercourse?'
- C. Do you eat a high-fiber diet and drink lots of fluids?'
