Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale: This is a general description of an imaging test, such as an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI, which can show the structure of the organs but not the mucosal lining.

Choice B rationale: This is a general description of a blood test, which can show signs of infection, inflammation, or anemia, but not the cause of these problems.

Choice C rationale: This exam is called a colonoscopy, which involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera and light into the anus and advancing it through the colon. A colonoscopy can reveal signs of inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, or narrowing of the intestinal wall that are characteristic of Crohn's disease. A biopsy can also be taken during the procedure to confirm the diagnosis.

Choice D rationale: This is a general description of a urine test, which can show signs of kidney problems, urinary tract infections, or dehydration, but not Crohn's disease.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: this is the correct answer since the darkened spots in the uterus represent endometrial-like tissue growths within the muscular wall of the uterus (the myometrium).

Choice B rationale: This picture shows leiomyomas, also known as fibroids, which are benign tumors that develop from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. They can vary in size, number, and location within or outside the uterus. They can cause symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, and infertility.

Choice C rationale: This is endometriosis which is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows outside the uterus, such as on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic wall, or bowel. This tissue responds to hormonal changes and bleeds during the menstrual cycle, causing inflammation, pain, and sometimes infertility.

Choice D rationale: This image shows a normal uterus.

A. Impaired urinary elimination related to obstructed flow of urine. B. Acute pain related to obstruction by the stone. C. Risk for urinary sepsis related to urinary stasis. D. Deficient knowledge related to need for prevention of recurrence of calculi.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Addressing the obstruction and restoring urinary flow is a priority to prevent complications.

Choice B rationale: Managing pain caused by the stone obstruction is essential for the client's comfort and well-being.

Choice C rationale: Preventing urinary stasis and subsequent infection is crucial to avoid sepsis.

Choice D rationale: Education about prevention, though important, might have a lower priority compared to addressing immediate complications like obstruction and pain.
