Question 1 of 5
It is mandatory to have maternal signed consent before administering which newborn drug?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Maternal consent is required for Hepatitis B vaccine series as it involves administering a vaccine to the newborn, which may have potential risks. Step 2: The Hepatitis B vaccine series is given as a preventive measure against Hepatitis B infection. Step 3: Maternal consent ensures that the mother is informed about the benefits and risks of the vaccine for her newborn. Step 4: Without maternal consent, healthcare providers cannot administer the Hepatitis B vaccine series to the newborn. Summary: Choice A (Erythromycin eye ointment) is typically administered routinely without requiring maternal consent. Choice B (Phytonadione) is a vitamin supplement given to newborns to prevent bleeding disorders, usually without the need for maternal consent. Choice D (Betamethasone injection) is a medication given to pregnant women to help fetal lung development and does not require maternal consent for administration to the newborn.
Question 2 of 5
A married man with two daughters is taking finasteride to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Which nursing assessment data are most critical in developing a care plan? (Select one that doesn't apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Identify the key information - married man with daughters taking finasteride. Step 2: Understand finasteride - primarily used for BPH but can also promote hair growth. Step 3: Critical assessment - hair growth is not a priority for BPH treatment. Step 4: Focus on patient's well-being - libido, urinary retention, and dosing are more relevant. Step 5: Final assessment - D is incorrect as hair growth is not a priority concern.
Question 3 of 5
Which phase of the menstrual cycle is characterized by the repair and growth of the endometrium?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Proliferative phase. During this phase, which occurs after the menstrual phase, the endometrium thickens and becomes more vascularized in preparation for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. This phase is characterized by the repair and growth of the endometrium, making it the correct choice. A: Follicular phase - This phase occurs before ovulation and is primarily focused on follicle development, not endometrial repair and growth. B: Luteal phase - This phase occurs after ovulation and is mainly associated with the formation and maintenance of the corpus luteum, not endometrial repair and growth. C: Menstrual phase - This phase involves shedding of the endometrium, not repair and growth.
Question 4 of 5
Which structure produces testosterone in males?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Leydig cells. Leydig cells are located in the testes and are responsible for producing testosterone in males. Testosterone is a key hormone for male development and reproductive function. The other choices (A: Epididymis, B: Seminiferous tubules, C: Prostate gland) are not involved in testosterone production. The epididymis stores and transports sperm, seminiferous tubules produce sperm, and the prostate gland secretes fluids that nourish and protect sperm. Therefore, Leydig cells are the correct choice for testosterone production in males.
Question 5 of 5
Which hormone is the major contributor to the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Estrogen. Estrogen is the major hormone responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females. It promotes breast development, regulates the menstrual cycle, and influences body fat distribution. Progesterone (A) is involved in preparing the uterus for pregnancy. Testosterone (B) is the primary male sex hormone, but it also plays a role in female secondary sexual characteristics. Prolactin (D) is primarily responsible for milk production in females, not the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
