Chapter 52 : Introduction to the Female and Male Reproductive Systems Questions
Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing a woman for an abdominal ultrasound. Which instruction would be appropriate for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drinking at least 1 quart of water 45 minutes to 1 hour before the test and not voiding until after the test ensures a full bladder and facilitates transmission of the ultrasound waves. It also elevates the bowel away from the other pelvic organs. The client should restrict solid food intake for 6 to 8 hours before the test to avoid having images of the test obscured by gas and intestinal contents. There is no restriction on douching for this test. A full bladder, not an empty one, facilitates this test.
Question 4 of 5
The expert nurse is assisting a novice nurse insert a Foley catheter. The novice nurse has tried unsuccessfully to insert the catheter, and the expert nurse is providing verbal guidance while spreading which area to reveal the urethral opening?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The labia majora and minora are a portion of the external genitalia and when parted reveals the urethral opening. The meatus refers to an opening or passage. The clitoris is sensitive erectile tissue considered the site of sexual pleasure. The fourchette is the area beneath the vaginal opening at the base of the labia majora.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is outlining the female internal reproductive structures on a diagram. Where on the diagram would the nurse highlight the typical site of ovum fertilization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse would highlight the fallopian tubes as the site of ovum fertilization. Once fertilized, the fertilized egg moves to the uterus for implantation. The cervix is the lower, narrowed neck portion leading to the center of the uterus. The ovaries release the ovum, which is swept into the fallopian tubes.
