Question 2 of 5
Which 16-year-old female patient is most likely to experience secondary amenorrhea?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a 16-year-old female with a height of 5 ft 9 in and weight of 180 lb is most likely to experience secondary amenorrhea due to obesity. Excess body fat can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to irregular or absent menstrual cycles. The other choices do not indicate obesity, which is a common cause of secondary amenorrhea in adolescents. Choice A is overweight but not obese, choice C is underweight, and choice D is within a healthy weight range. Therefore, choice B is the most likely candidate for secondary amenorrhea based on the given information.
Question 3 of 5
If a woman’s menstrual cycle began on June 2, on which date should ovulation mostly likely have occurred?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The menstrual cycle is typically 28 days, with ovulation occurring around day 14. In this case, if the cycle started on June 2, ovulation would likely occur around June 16, which is 14 days after the start. Choice A (Jun-10) is too early for ovulation. Choice C (Jun-29) and D (Jul-05) are too late based on the standard 28-day cycle. Therefore, choice B (Jun-16) is the correct answer based on the expected timing of ovulation in a typical menstrual cycle.
Question 4 of 5
A newly pregnant patient asks the nurse, What is a false pelvis? Which statement by the nurse will best explain this anatomy to the patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the false pelvis, also known as the greater pelvis, is the upper portion of the pelvis that supports the abdominal organs and the weight of the upper body. It is not involved in childbirth. A: Incorrect. The false pelvis is not the total anterior portion of the pelvis. B: Incorrect. The false pelvis is not considered the lower portion of the pelvis. D: Incorrect. The narrowest part of the pelvis through which a fetus passes is the true pelvis, not the false pelvis.
Question 5 of 5
A female patient who has gone through puberty and started menstruating without any problems has developed cessation of periods after 2 years of normal cycles. Which finding would indicate a possible cause for this occurrence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Overproduction of androgenic hormones. The cessation of periods after normal cycles can be due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), where there is an excess of androgenic hormones. This can disrupt the menstrual cycle. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Lag in development of secondary sexual characteristics is more indicative of delayed puberty, not cessation of periods after normal cycles. C: Negative pregnancy test only rules out pregnancy as a cause, not addressing the cessation of periods issue. D: Clinical diagnosis of primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of periods by age 16 without prior menstruation, not the cessation of periods after normal cycles.
