Reproductive System Exam Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
How does human sperm move?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Human sperm moves using flagella, which are whip-like structures that aid in propulsion. Flagella are tail-like structures found in sperm cells and help them swim towards the egg for fertilization. Cilia are shorter, hair-like structures that are not involved in the movement of sperm. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response and are not related to sperm locomotion.
Question 2 of 5
In which of the following types of spontaneous abortions would the nurse assess dark brown vaginal discharge and a negative pregnancy test?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dark brown vaginal discharge and a negative pregnancy test are characteristic of a missed abortion. In a missed abortion, the fetus has died, but the products of conception are retained in the uterus. This can lead to symptoms like dark brown vaginal discharge as the body tries to expel the nonviable pregnancy. A threatened abortion is characterized by vaginal bleeding without dilation of the cervix, and the pregnancy remains viable. Imminent abortion involves cervical dilation and effacement with no passage of tissue. In an incomplete abortion, only part of the products of conception are expelled, leading to persistent bleeding and cramping.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is not a role of Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Promoting abortion is not a role of the Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs. RCH programs focus on promoting awareness about reproductive health, providing facilities to build a reproductively healthy society, and offering support to reproductively sick individuals. The promotion of abortion is not within the scope of RCH programs, which aim to improve maternal and child health outcomes through education, healthcare services, and support systems.
Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Laparoscopy uses a small instrument known as a laparoscope to take very detailed photographs of the pelvic organs. This procedure is commonly used for diagnostic purposes, to visualize internal organs, and to perform minimally invasive surgeries.
Choice B, inserting a hysteroscope for D&C, is incorrect as hysteroscopy is a different procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus, not the pelvic organs.
Choice C, performing an abortion procedure, is incorrect as laparoscopy is not used for abortion.
Choice D, performing a hysterectomy, is incorrect as although laparoscopy can be used in some cases for hysterectomy, its primary purpose is not for this procedure.
