Chapter 52 : Introduction to the Female and Male Reproductive Systems Questions
Question 1 of 5
An instructor is preparing a teaching plan for a group of students about reproductive structures and sexual arousal. Which female reproductive structure would the instructor include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At the superior function of the labia, there is a fleshy protrusion of tissue called the clitoris. The clitoris is an erectile tissue that enlarges and becomes sensitive when stimulated by the penis or touching that accompanies sexual foreplay. The mons pubis, labia minora, and labia majora are female reproductive structures but do not play as prominent a role in sexual arousal.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assisting a 30-year-old client in scheduling an appointment for a cervical biopsy. The nurse would recommend that the client schedule the testing at which time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Because the client is premenopausal, the nurse would recommend scheduling the cervical biopsy for 1 week after the end of a menstrual period, when the cervix is least vascular. Scheduling the test for any other time would be inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing teaching to a client who is scheduled for a mammogram. Which of the following would the nurse include as a way to avoid artifacts of the x-ray?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a mammogram is scheduled, the nurse explains the radiographic procedure and instructs the client to avoid using a deodorant with aluminum hydroxide or body talc on the day of the test to avoid artifacts on the x-ray film. Not wearing jewelry is a precaution for any radiographic test. Fasting is not required before a mammogram. Drinking water before the test is appropriate for an abdominal ultrasound.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has provided teaching to a client who is scheduled to have a Pap test. Which client statement indicates that teaching was successful?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Teaching is effective when the client schedules an appointment at a time other than during menstruation and does the following before the appointment: (1) avoids intercourse for 2 days, (2) refrains from douching for 1 day, and (3) ceases the use of vaginal medications for at least 48 hours.
Question 5 of 5
A group of students are reviewing information related to the male reproductive system structures. The students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which structure as an accessory organ?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Accessory structures include the seminal vesicles, which join with the ductus deferens to become the ejaculatory duct, the prostate gland, and the bulbourethral glands. The vas deferens and epididymis are internal male reproductive structures. The scrotum is an external male reproductive structure.
