Genitourinary System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
An accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs is the:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prostate. The prostate is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs as it produces and secretes fluid that is a component of semen. The testis (A) is the primary male reproductive organ responsible for producing sperm. The scrotum (C) is the external sac that houses the testes. Choice B does not seem to be a valid option.
Question 2 of 5
A 2-year-old boy has been diagnosed with physiologic cryptorchidism. Considering this diagnosis, during assessment the nurse will most likely observe:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Physiologic cryptorchidism refers to a common condition in newborns where the testes have not descended into the scrotum but can be manually pushed down (milked) into the scrotum. This is a normal developmental process that usually resolves by the age of 3 months. Rationale: 1. Absence of the testis in the scrotum: In physiologic cryptorchidism, the testes are not palpable in the scrotum due to incomplete descent. 2. Testis can be milked down: The testes can be gently pushed down into the scrotum, indicating that they are present and capable of descending on their own. Summary of other choices: A: Testes that are hard and painful to palpation is incorrect because physiologic cryptorchidism is not associated with inflammation or pain. B: Atrophic scrotum and bilateral absence of the testis is incorrect as
Question 3 of 5
During an examination, the nurse notices that a male patient has a red, round, superficial ulcer with a yellowish serous discharge on his penis. On palpation, the nurse finds a nontender base that feels like a small button between the thumb and fingers. At this point the nurse suspects that this patient has:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Syphilitic chancre. The description of a red, round, superficial ulcer with a yellowish serous discharge on the penis, along with a nontender base that feels like a small button, is indicative of a primary syphilitic chancre. This lesion is typically painless and can be mistaken for other genital ulcers, but the specific characteristics described point towards syphilis. Genital warts (choice B) present as cauliflower-like growths, herpes infection (choice C) typically causes painful blisters, and chancroid (choice A) is characterized by soft, painful ulcers. Syphilitic chancre is the most likely diagnosis based on the presentation described.
Question 4 of 5
Glomerular filtrate is produced as a result of
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: blood hydrostatic pressure. Glomerular filtrate is produced as a result of the pressure exerted by the blood in the glomerular capillaries forcing water and small solutes into the Bowman's capsule. This pressure, known as blood hydrostatic pressure, is the driving force for the initial filtration of blood in the kidneys. Rationale: 1. A: Tubule secretion is the process by which substances are actively transported from the blood into the renal tubules, not the initial production of glomerular filtrate. 2. B: Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process that requires specific carrier proteins, not a mechanism for producing glomerular filtrate. 3. C: Blood colloid osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by proteins in the blood that tends to pull water back into the capillaries, opposing filtration, not causing the production of glomerular filtrate.
Question 5 of 5
During a speculum inspection of the vagina, the nurse would expect to see what at the end of the vaginal canal?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cervix. During a speculum inspection, the nurse would expect to see the cervix at the end of the vaginal canal. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects the uterus to the vagina. It appears as a small, round structure at the end of the vaginal canal. This is an important part of the female reproductive system that can be visualized during a speculum examination. Summary: B: Uterus - Incorrect as the uterus is located above the cervix and is not visible at the end of the vaginal canal. C: Ovaries - Incorrect as the ovaries are located on either side of the uterus and are not visible during a speculum examination. D: Fallopian tubes - Incorrect as the fallopian tubes are not visible during a speculum examination as they are located above the ovaries and connect the ovaries to the uterus.
