Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
During the initial inspection of the female genitalia, the nurse recognizes which finding as normal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the vaginal vestibule lies between the labia minora and contains the urinary meatus, which is a normal anatomical finding. The labia minora being hair-covered and lying within the labia majora (A) is not normal. The cervical os in a multiparous woman should have a shape of a transverse slit, not a small circle (B). The openings of Skene and Bartholin glands are not typically visible during the initial inspection of the female genitalia (D).
Question 2 of 5
The patient is unable to tolerate a bimanual pelvic examination due to pain in ovaries and fallopian tubes. Which disorder does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is characterized by inflammation and infection of the female reproductive organs, including ovaries and fallopian tubes, leading to pain during bimanual pelvic examination. This is due to the inflammatory response in the pelvic area. Tertiary syphilis (A), genital herpes (B), and HPV infection (C) do not typically present with acute pelvic pain during examination. Syphilis affects multiple organ systems, herpes presents with genital lesions, and HPV usually does not cause acute pelvic pain. Therefore, PID is the most likely diagnosis based on the symptoms described.
Question 3 of 5
A 68-yr-old male patient tells the nurse that he is worried because he does not respond to sexual stimulation the same way he did when he was younger. Which is the nurse’s best response to the patient’s concern?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Many men need additional sexual stimulation with aging." With aging, physiological changes can affect sexual response. Additional stimulation may be required due to lower hormone levels and decreased sensitivity. This response acknowledges the patient's concern and provides a factual explanation. Incorrect answers: A: "Interest in sex frequently decreases as men get older." - While libido may decrease with age, it doesn't directly address the patient's concern about sexual response. C: "Erectile dysfunction is a common problem with older men." - Erectile dysfunction is only one aspect of sexual response and may not be the main issue for the patient. D: "Tell me more about how your sexual response has changed." - While this shows empathy, it doesn't provide information or address the potential need for additional stimulation.
Question 4 of 5
Which finding from the nurse’s physical assessment of a 42-yr-old male patient should be reported to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because palpable inguinal lymph nodes could indicate an underlying infection or malignancy, requiring further evaluation by the healthcare provider. This finding is concerning and needs attention. A: One testis hanging lower than the other is a normal variation and does not typically require reporting. B: Genital hair distribution being diamond-shaped is a common pattern and is not an abnormal finding that necessitates reporting. C: Clear discharge at the penile meatus could be normal or due to benign conditions such as urethral irritation, so it may not require immediate reporting unless other concerning symptoms are present.
Question 5 of 5
What is the final stage of labour?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The final stage of labor is the delivery of the placenta. This occurs after the baby is born. The placenta is essential for providing nutrients and oxygen to the baby during pregnancy, but once the baby is born, it needs to be expelled from the mother's body. This process is crucial to prevent postpartum complications. A: Dilation of the cervix occurs in the first stage of labor. B: Delivery of the infant happens in the second stage of labor. C: Contraction of the uterus is a continuous process throughout labor but does not signify the final stage. In summary, the correct answer is D because it represents the final step in the labor process, while the other options pertain to earlier stages of labor.
