The Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The pregnant patient tells the nurse that she has had three pregnancies and two live births to date. How does the nurse record this in the patient’s history?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Gravida refers to the total number of pregnancies, which is 3 in this case. 2. Para refers to the number of live births, which is 2. 3. Therefore, the correct way to record this patient's history is Gravida 3, para 2. Summary: A: Incorrect - para should be 2, not 3. C: Incorrect - gravida should be 3, not 2. D: Incorrect - gravida should be 3, not 2.
Question 2 of 5
A patient with testicular torsion is experiencing which abnormality?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Twisting of the testicle and spermatic cord. Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, leading to decreased blood flow to the testicle. This causes severe pain and swelling. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately describe the specific abnormality seen in testicular torsion. Choice A describes varicocele, choice C describes a spermatocele, and choice D describes hydrocele, which are different conditions altogether.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing teaching by telephone to a patient who is scheduled for a pelvic examination and Pap test next week. The nurse instructs the patient that she should
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Douching can alter the vaginal pH and flora, affecting the accuracy of Pap test results. By avoiding douching for at least 24 hours before the exam, the patient ensures more accurate results. A: Not having sexual intercourse the day before the Pap test is not necessary for test accuracy. B: Showering is recommended for hygiene but taking a tub bath does not impact the test. D: Scheduling the test just after the menstrual period may be more comfortable for the patient, but it does not affect the accuracy of the test.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is reviewing discharge instructions with a client who has just experienced an endometrial biopsy. Which finding should be reported to the health care provider immediately?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because slight chills and fever could indicate an infection post-endometrial biopsy, which requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications. Mild cramping (A) is expected after the procedure and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Spotting of blood (C) is a common side effect and should be monitored but does not require immediate reporting. Fatigue (D) after anesthesia is a normal response and should resolve with rest.
Question 5 of 5
Sponges reproduce through which form of asexual reproduction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Budding. In budding, a new organism develops as an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism. This process results in the formation of a genetically identical offspring. Sponges reproduce asexually through budding by forming small growths, which eventually detach and grow into new individuals. Fission (A) involves the splitting of an organism into two separate organisms, which is not how sponges reproduce. Fragmentation (C) is the breaking of the parent organism into fragments, with each fragment developing into a new individual, but this is not how sponges reproduce asexually. Parthenogenesis (D) is a form of asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual, which is not the method used by sponges.
