Question 1 of 5

What hormone is responsible for the development and maturation of the ovarian follicles?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for the development and maturation of ovarian follicles by stimulating them to grow and produce estrogen. FSH plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and acts on the ovaries to promote follicular development. LH surge triggers ovulation, estrogen is produced by the developing follicles and progesterone is primarily produced after ovulation by the corpus luteum. Therefore, A is correct as it directly influences the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles.

Question 2 of 5

What question during a family assessment could the nurse ask to determine if the family has necessary resources?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Do you have a group of friends, neighbors, or a church that helps you when you are ill?" This question assesses the family's support network and resources in times of need. It helps determine if the family has a social support system that can provide assistance during challenging situations. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly address the availability of external resources for the family's well-being. Option A focuses on emotional aspects, C on independence, and D on family dynamics, which are not directly related to assessing resources.

Question 3 of 5

Developing a plan to achieve patient outcomes is included in which step of the CJMM?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: generating solutions. In the CJMM (Clinical Judgment Model in Nursing), developing a plan to achieve patient outcomes falls under the step of generating solutions. This step involves identifying and implementing interventions to address the patient's needs and achieve the desired outcomes. Prioritizing hypotheses (A) is about identifying potential issues, not developing a plan. Taking action (C) is about implementing the plan, not developing it. Evaluating outcomes (D) is the final step where the effectiveness of the plan is assessed, not where the plan is developed. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it specifically focuses on the process of creating a plan to achieve patient outcomes within the CJMM.

Question 4 of 5

If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum will disintegrate and turn into what is called the?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Corpus albicans. After ovulation, if pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum regresses and degenerates into the corpus albicans, which is a white scar tissue in the ovary. This process marks the end of the ovarian cycle. The other options are incorrect: B: Corpus callosum is a structure in the brain, C: Corpus cavernosum refers to erectile tissue in the penis, and D: Corpus allatum is a neuroendocrine organ in insects.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is monitoring a client in labor and suspects hypertonic uterine contractions. What is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Provide pain relief measures. In hypertonic uterine contractions, the uterus contracts too frequently and intensely, leading to increased pain and potential fetal distress. Providing pain relief helps alleviate discomfort for the client and may reduce the risk of fetal distress. Other choices are incorrect because: B) Amniotomy may not be necessary and could potentially worsen the situation. C) Ambulation may not be safe or effective during hypertonic contractions. D) Monitoring the oxytocin infusion closely is important but not the priority in managing hypertonic contractions.
