An infertility specialist is evaluating whether a woman's cervical mucus contains enough estrogen to support sperm motility. Which of the following tests is the physician conducting?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ferning capacity refers to the ability of cervical mucus to form a fern-like pattern under a microscope when it is close to ovulation. This pattern indicates the presence of estrogen, which is essential for supporting sperm motility. By assessing ferning capacity, the infertility specialist can determine if the woman's cervical mucus contains enough estrogen to facilitate the movement of sperm for successful fertilization. This test helps in evaluating the quality of cervical mucus and its role in the fertility process. The other options (Basal body temperature, Colposcopy, Hysterotomy) are not directly related to assessing estrogen levels in cervical mucus for sperm motility.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The Alexander Technique involves personalized assessment of posture and muscle tension by a trained instructor.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The education the nurse should provide to a person taking Ella for emergency contraception is to restart their COCs the next day and use a backup method, such as condoms, for 7 days. This is important to ensure continued protection against pregnancy, as Ella may potentially reduce the effectiveness of the COCs. Using a backup method during this time is essential to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Assessing for signs of impending eclampsia, such as severe headache or visual changes, is critical to prevent seizures.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Repositioning improves uteroplacental blood flow and oxygen delivery to the fetus, addressing late decelerations.
