Human Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
After scheduling a patient with a possible ovarian cyst for ultrasound, the nurse will teach the patient that she should
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: experience mild abdominal cramps after the procedure. This is because ultrasound imaging for ovarian cysts is non-invasive and does not involve the use of IV contrast or require the patient to drink fluids before the procedure. The patient may experience mild abdominal cramps due to the pressure applied during the ultrasound, but this is temporary and not a cause for concern. Discontinuing aspirin is not necessary for an ultrasound procedure.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement is true for the reproduction of reptiles and birds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: They are both ovoviviparous. Reptiles and birds are ovoviviparous, meaning they lay eggs that hatch internally and give birth to live young. Reptiles and birds do not require parental care immediately after birth, so choice A is incorrect. They reproduce through internal fertilization, making choice C incorrect. Reproduction through asexual means is not common in reptiles and birds, making choice D incorrect.
Question 3 of 5
Select the following structures which participate in forming the pelvic brim
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Arcuate line. The pelvic brim is formed by structures at the pelvic inlet. The arcuate line is a ridge on the inner surface of the ilium that contributes to the boundary of the pelvic brim. The other choices, B: Marginal ala of sacrum, C: Pubic tubercle, and D: Sacral promontory, do not directly participate in forming the pelvic brim. The marginal ala of the sacrum is part of the sacrum, the pubic tubercle is located on the pubis bone, and the sacral promontory is a landmark on the sacrum but does not contribute to the pelvic brim.
Question 4 of 5
Regarding the function of placenta
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: The placental barrier is semi-permeable, allowing small molecules like oxygen and nutrients to pass but blocking larger molecules like antibodies. Step 2: IgG antibodies are the only type that can cross the placenta through active transport mechanisms. Step 3: This transfer provides passive immunity to the fetus. Step 4: Options A, C, and D are incorrect as the placenta has 4 main layers, progesterone does not induce preterm labor, and gas diffusion depends on concentration gradients, not pressure gradients.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is reviewing discharge plans with a client who is recovering from a cervical biopsy. Which statements indicate good understanding by the client? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: The client understanding that they cannot carry their toddler for 2 weeks after a cervical biopsy is crucial to avoid strain and potential complications. Lifting heavy objects can place stress on the biopsy site, leading to bleeding or infection. This restriction promotes proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. Summary: A: Returning to work immediately may not allow sufficient time for recovery and could lead to complications. C: Douching can introduce bacteria to the biopsy site, increasing the risk of infection. D: Waiting for about 2 weeks before having intercourse is important to prevent trauma to the biopsy site.
