1. Which of the following is not a component of a
comprehensive assessment of the female genitalia?
a) External examination
b) Assessment of vaginal discharge
c) Bi-manual examination
d) Measurement of pubic symphysis distance
Answer: d) Measurement of pubic symphysis distance
Rationale: A comprehensive assessment of the female
genitalia involves external examination, assessment of
vaginal discharge, and bi-manual examination.
Measurement of pubic symphysis distance is not directly
related to the assessment of female genitalia.
2. During external examination of the female genitalia,
what should the nurse assess for?
a) Presence of varicosities
b) Size and shape of the clitoris
c) Location of the cervix
d) Color of the hymen
Answer: a) Presence of varicosities
Rationale: During external examination, the nurse should
assess for any signs of varicosities, abnormalities of the
labia majora and minora, as well as the perineum. Size and
shape of the clitoris, location of the cervix, and color of the
hymen are not assessed during external examination.
