Drugs Affecting the Female Reproductive System Quizlet Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
is admitted to labor and delivery at 39.6 weeks' gestation in active labor. The health care provider performs an amniotomy. Which nursing intervention would be a priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Checking fetal heart rate. This is the priority nursing intervention after an amniotomy because it helps in assessing the well-being of the fetus and detecting any signs of distress. Monitoring uterine contractions (choice A) is important but secondary to ensuring fetal well-being. Assessing cervical dilation and effacement (choice C) is also important but not as immediate as ensuring fetal heart rate. Checking for umbilical cord compression (choice D) is crucial but typically presents with specific signs and symptoms, which can be assessed after ensuring fetal heart rate.
Question 2 of 5
A 54-year-old menopausal patient comes into the gynecology ofÃce and is interested in hormone therapy. Which are indications for prescribing hormone therapy? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Hormone therapy (HT) is indicated for relieving menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. 2. HT is not indicated for preventing breast cancer, as it may actually increase the risk. 3. Studies show that HT does not prevent cardiovascular disease and may even increase the risk. 4. HT can help prevent osteoporosis in at-risk patients, but it is not the primary indication for prescribing HT in menopausal women.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is counseling a 62-year-old patient with a T score of −2.0 after her dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. What is the best advice for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the patient has osteoporosis with a T score of -2.0, indicating a higher risk of fractures. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation are essential for bone health. The recommended daily intake is 1200 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D. This combination helps improve bone density and reduce fracture risk. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the necessary vitamin D component. Choice B is incorrect as swimming and cycling are not weight-bearing exercises that help improve bone density. Choice C may be considered in severe cases but is not the first-line recommendation for a T score of -2.0.
Question 4 of 5
A patient has just begun taking calcitriol. Which nursing implication would the nurse do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: B: Monitoring serum calcium levels is crucial when a patient starts taking calcitriol to prevent hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. This is because calcitriol regulates calcium absorption. Weight monitoring (A) may not be directly related. Teaching side effects (C) is important but not specific to calcitriol.
Question 5 of 5
Antidiabetic drugs are designed to control signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus. The nurse primarily expects a decrease in which?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Blood glucose. Antidiabetic drugs work by lowering blood glucose levels, which is the primary goal in managing diabetes. By decreasing blood glucose, these drugs help to prevent complications associated with high blood sugar levels. Fat metabolism (B), glycogen storage (C), and protein mobilization (D) are not the primary targets of antidiabetic drugs. While they may be influenced indirectly, the main focus is on regulating blood glucose levels to maintain optimal health in individuals with diabetes.
