Anatomy and Physiology of the Female Breast Questions
Question 1 of 5
Testosterone is responsible for the development of which of the following? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Correct Answer: A, B, and C Rationale: A: Testosterone is crucial for the development of male reproductive organs such as the testes and prostate gland. B: Testosterone plays a key role in the development of male secondary sex characteristics like facial hair and deepening of voice. C: Testosterone contributes to the growth and maintenance of male muscle mass, influencing strength and physical performance. Summary of Incorrect Choices: D: Testosterone does not directly affect male height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and growth hormone levels.
Question 2 of 5
What condition would the nurse suspect in a patient who presents with very painful menstrual cramps that prevent them from working each month?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual cramps that can be severe enough to interfere with daily activities like work. This condition is common and can be caused by increased prostaglandin levels leading to uterine contractions. Amenorrhea (A) is the absence of menstruation, not painful cramps. Premenstrual syndrome (C) involves a variety of physical and emotional symptoms before menstruation, but not necessarily severe cramps. Abnormal uterine bleeding (D) refers to irregular or excessive bleeding, not specifically related to cramps.
Question 3 of 5
What type of medication would the nurse prepare to speak about with a patient recently diagnosed with endometriosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: oral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives are commonly prescribed for managing endometriosis by regulating the menstrual cycle and reducing symptoms. They help control estrogen levels, which can alleviate pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis. Selective serotonin inhibitors (B) are used for treating depression and anxiety, not endometriosis. Dopamine agonists (C) are used for conditions like Parkinson's disease and hyperprolactinemia, not endometriosis. Bisphosphonates (D) are used to treat osteoporosis, not endometriosis. Therefore, oral contraceptives are the most appropriate medication to discuss with a patient diagnosed with endometriosis.
Question 4 of 5
A 28-year-old patient presents with recurrent urinary tract infections and continuous wet sensation in her undergarments. On examination, the provider observes leaking of urine noted in the vagina. What structural disorder of the female reproductive system is most likely responsible for this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: bladder fistula. A bladder fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and another organ, leading to urine leakage into the vagina. In this case, the continuous wet sensation and urine leakage observed in the vagina indicate a communication between the bladder and the vagina. Pelvic floor prolapse (choice A) can cause urinary incontinence but does not involve direct leakage of urine into the vagina. DES exposure (choice B) is associated with reproductive tract abnormalities but not specifically with urinary incontinence. A vaginal septum (choice C) is a congenital condition where the vagina is divided by a septum, which would not directly cause urine leakage into the vagina.
Question 5 of 5
When suspecting an ovarian cyst on the basis of abdominal pain, what other causes need to be ruled out due to the severity of the condition? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and C. A: Ectopic pregnancy can present similarly to an ovarian cyst with abdominal pain. It is a life-threatening emergency due to the risk of rupture. B: Inflamed appendix can mimic symptoms of an ovarian cyst, such as lower abdominal pain. Appendicitis can lead to serious complications without prompt treatment. C: Ovarian torsion can cause sudden, severe abdominal pain similar to that of an ovarian cyst. It requires immediate medical attention to prevent ovarian damage or necrosis. D: Submucosal fibroid is a benign growth in the uterus and would not typically cause symptoms that mimic an ovarian cyst.
