Questions on Infertility Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse educator is conducting a class for student nurses on X-linked recessive disorders. Which responses from a student nurse indicate that further education is needed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is incorrect to assume that if a male doesn't have an X-linked disorder, then his children won't either. This statement overlooks the fact that the male could carry the recessive gene and pass it on to his daughters, who could then become carriers. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of how X-linked recessive disorders are inherited. A: This statement is correct as males cannot be carriers of X-linked recessive disorders. C: This statement is correct as females who are carriers have a 50% chance of passing on the recessive gene to their daughters. D: This statement is correct as sons of carrier females have a 50% chance of inheriting the X-linked recessive disorder.
Question 2 of 5
Which situation best describes secondary infertility in a couple?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because secondary infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive after having one or more children without any fertility issues. This situation indicates that the couple had a successful pregnancy in the past but is now facing difficulties conceiving again. A, B, and C are incorrect: A: Never conceived - This does not align with the definition of secondary infertility as it involves a previous successful pregnancy. B: Had repeated spontaneous abortions - This refers to recurrent pregnancy loss, not secondary infertility. C: Not conceived after 1 year of unprotected intercourse - This describes primary infertility, not secondary infertility.
Question 3 of 5
A patient has been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix (the cervix will not remain closed). What treatment option will be incorporated into the plan of care for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because more frequent ultrasounds are necessary to monitor the progression of the pregnancy in a patient with an incompetent cervix. This allows healthcare providers to assess the cervix's condition and the risk of preterm labor. A: Bed rest is not the primary treatment for an incompetent cervix as it does not address the underlying issue. B: A wait and see approach may lead to missed opportunities for preventive interventions. C: Preparation for cerclage at 32 weeks is too late as cerclage is typically done earlier to provide support to the cervix.
Question 4 of 5
A client is admitted to the labor and birthing suite in early labor. On review of her prenatal history, the nurse determines that the client's pelvic shape as identified in the antepartum notes is the most favorable one for a vaginal birth. Which pelvic shape would the nurse have noted?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The gynecoid pelvic shape is the most favorable for vaginal birth due to its optimal dimensions and orientation for the passage of the fetus. The anthropoid pelvis is also favorable for vaginal birth, but it is not the most favorable shape. The android pelvis and platypelloid pelvis are less favorable for vaginal birth, with the android pelvis having slow descent of the fetal head and the platypelloid pelvis often requiring cesarean birth.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for several women in labor. The nurse determines that which woman is the latent phase of labor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Contractions every 5 minutes with cervical dilation of 3 cm is typical of the latent phase of labor. This phase is characterized by early labor with mild contractions and slow cervical dilation. The other scenarios describe more advanced stages of labor with faster contractions and greater cervical dilation, indicating the active phase.
