NSG6330 WOMEN’S HEALTH FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS 2026.
A twenty-five-year-old presents with a report of a very tender area just
near her introitus and to the left of her perineum. Very painful sex is how
she knew "something wasn't right." She showered and when washing, she
felt a "pea-sized" painful lump on the left side of her "bottom." She tells
you she looked at it with a mirror and it was very small, but now it is the
size of a ping-pong ball and getting worse.
When you inspect her external genitalia, you are amazed at the size and
appearance of the "lump."
You note what appears to be an abscess on the left medial side of the labia
minora, and there is some edema extending into the perineum. Your
diagnosis for this presentation is:
Bartholin's cyst
You explain to this young woman what this "lump" is and let her know you
will be referring her to a gynecologist you consult with regularly. You
explain to her the likely treatment as follows:
,She will need to take sitz baths three times per day and a broad-spectrum
antibiotic.
This is likely a fatty tumor and will need to be surgically removed.
A possible incision might be necessary and a catheter placed for two to
four weeks to allow for drainage and appropriate healing.
This is a folliculitis that has become infected and needs a needle aspiration
and broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment.
A possible incision might be necessary and a catheter placed for two
to four weeks to allow for drainage and appropriate healing.

blocked gland is called a Bartholin gland cyst

,her long-term significant other, but she realized she left her diaphragm in
until today when these symptoms occurred.
Her BP is unremarkable, pulse is 90, temperature is 99, no costovertebral
angle tenderness (CVAT), and is experiencing slight suprapubic discomfort.
You review her urine dip and you note 2+ blood, +nitrates, +leukocyte
esterase. You send the urine for a microscopic and culture and sensitivity
but your management plan is:
Provide broad spectrum antibiotic while waiting for culture and
sensitivity lab to return for specific microbe.
