During which stage of the menstrual cycle does the endometrium layer thicken?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The endometrium layer thickens during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle. This phase occurs after ovulation and is characterized by the endometrium preparing for possible implantation of a fertilized egg by further thickening and becoming more vascularized. If pregnancy does not occur, the thickened endometrial lining will be shed during menstruation. The secretory phase is under the control of the hormone progesterone, which is produced by the corpus luteum formed in the ovary after ovulation.

Rationale: The correct statement the nurse should make to the client receiving misoprostol intravaginally is, "You will need to stay in a side-lying position for 30 minutes after each dose." This instruction is important because maintaining a side-lying position can help prevent leakage and promote proper absorption of the medication. It enhances the effectiveness of the medication and reduces the risk of its expulsion before absorption, ultimately leading to a better response to the treatment. The other options are not relevant to the administration of misoprostol intravaginally and do not align with best practice for this specific therapy.
