100 Questions and Answers About Infertility Questions
Question 1 of 5
Of the following karyotype results, which indicates a finding of Turner syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Certainly. The correct answer is D (46 X) for Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome is characterized by a missing or partially missing X chromosome in females. Therefore, a karyotype of 45,X or 46,X would indicate Turner syndrome. Choice A (46 XY) is a normal male karyotype, B (46 YY) is not a valid karyotype, and C (46 XX) is a normal female karyotype.
Question 2 of 5
Which diagnostic test is commonly used to evaluate the structure and patency of the uterus and fallopian tubes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hysterosalpingography. This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes to evaluate their structure and patency. It helps diagnose issues like blockages or abnormalities. Semen analysis (A) is used to evaluate male fertility, not the uterus or fallopian tubes. Endometrial biopsy (B) is used to evaluate the uterine lining, not the structure of the uterus or fallopian tubes. Testicular biopsy (D) is used to assess male reproductive health, not female reproductive structures. Therefore, C is the correct choice for evaluating the structure and patency of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
Question 3 of 5
A woman in her 40th week of pregnancy calls the nurse at the clinic and says she is not sure whether she is in true or false labor. Which statement by the client would lead the nurse to suspect that the woman is experiencing false labor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this scenario, option C is the correct answer indicating false labor. When contractions slow down with movement, it suggests Braxton Hicks contractions rather than true labor, which typically intensifies with activity. Contractions in true labor are usually felt in the lower abdomen and may radiate to the back, not solely in the back as in option A. Option B describes contractions that are regular and close together, typical of true labor. Option D illustrates a common characteristic of true labor where contractions are intense enough to make communication difficult. Educationally, understanding the differences between true and false labor can help pregnant individuals make informed decisions about when to seek medical assistance. Nurses play a crucial role in educating expectant mothers on the signs of labor to ensure they receive appropriate care at the right time. This knowledge empowers women to manage their pregnancy experience confidently and promotes better maternal and fetal outcomes.
Question 4 of 5
A woman telephones the prenatal clinic and reports that her water just broke. Which suggestion by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a woman's water breaks, there is an increased risk of infection and cord prolapse, making it important for the woman to seek evaluation at the clinic or emergency department. Waiting for contractions to start, drinking water and lying down, and waiting to come in only when feeling the urge to push are not appropriate responses in this situation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is describing how the fetus moves through the birth canal. Which component would the nurse identify as being most important in allowing the fetal head to move through the pelvis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sutures are important because they allow the cranial bones to overlap in order for the head to adjust in shape when pressure is exerted on it. Fontanelles are the intersections formed by the sutures. The frontal bones and biparietal diameter are not as crucial in allowing the fetal head to move through the pelvis.
