What condition would the nurse suspect when a patient calls to report feeling very bloated after egg retrieval 3 days ago?

A. ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome B. ectopic pregnancy C. ovarian hemorrhage D. hydrosalpinx

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potential complication of egg retrieval, causing bloating and abdominal discomfort.

Question 2 of 9

What keeps the endometrium from shedding if conception occurs?

A. The anterior pituitary temporarily stops producing luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). B. Human chorionic gonadotropin maintains the corpus luteum, keeping estrogen and progesterone levels high. C. None D. None

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: hCG maintains the corpus luteum which prevents endometrial shedding.

A key finding from the Human Genome Project is:

A. Approximately 20,500 genes make up the genome. B. All human beings are 80.99% identical at the DNA level. C. Human genes produce only one protein per gene; other mammals produce three proteins per gene. D. Single gene testing will become a standardized test for all pregnant patients in the future.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Approximately 20,500 genes make up the human genome.

The nurse is planning a prenatal class on fetal development. Which characteristics of prenatal development should the nurse include for a fetus of 24 weeks, based on fertilization age? (Select all that apply.)
