NURS 406 EXAM 01 | QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATE | WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.
The student nurse is collecting a clean-catch midstream urine specimen from a client suspected of urinary tract
infection. After reviewing the results, the head nurse instructs the student nurse to repeat the procedure. Which
finding in the urinalysis report supports the head nurse's instruction?
10^2 organisms/mL
10^6 organisms/mL
10^4 organisms/mL
10^8 organisms/mL - ANSWER>10^4 organisms/mL
The reference interval 103 to 105 organisms/mL is usually not diagnostic and usually requires the test to be
repeated. Therefore, the finding 104 organisms/mL supports the head nurse's instruction. The finding of 102
organisms/mL usually indicates no infection. A value greater than 105 organisms/mL indicates infection. The
findings of 106 organisms/mL and 108 organisms/mL indicate infection and do not require repetition of the test.
,The nurse finds that a client with a urinary disorder has very pale-yellow-colored urine. What is the significance of
this abnormal finding?
It indicates dilute urine.
It indicates blood in the urine.
It indicates concentrated urine.
It indicates the presence of myoglobin. - ANSWER>It indicates dilute urine.
Dilute urine tends to appear very pale-yellow in color. Dark-red or brown color urine indicates the presence of
blood in the urine. Dark-amber color urine indicates concentrated urine. Red color urine may indicate the presence
of myoglobin.
Which part of the female reproductive system produces testosterone in females?
Uterus
Ovary
Fallopian tube
Ovarian follicle - ANSWER>Ovary
, Testosterone is an androgen, and in females, androgens are produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. The
uterus holds the fetus during pregnancy. Fallopian tubes facilitate fertilization of oocyte and sperm. An ovarian
follicle is a collection of oocytes in the ovary.
Which hormone is crucial in maintaining the implanted egg at its site?
Inhibin
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone - ANSWER>Progesterone
Progesterone is necessary to maintain an implanted egg. Inhibin regulates the release of follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Estrogen plays a vital role in the development and
maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone is important for bone strength and development of
muscle mass.
