Questions on Infertility Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the primary function of GnRH agonists in fertility treatments?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: To suppress natural hormone production and control the cycle. GnRH agonists work by initially stimulating the release of certain hormones that eventually lead to the suppression of natural hormone production. This helps to control the menstrual cycle and prevent premature ovulation. Other choices are incorrect because A is typically achieved through other medications, C is more related to other fertility treatments like IVF, and D is not a primary function of GnRH agonists.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of preconception education. Which statement by the client indicates additional education is needed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because buying a small desk for a laptop computer is unrelated to preconception education. This statement does not demonstrate any understanding or action related to preparing for a healthy pregnancy. Choices A, B, and D all show a proactive approach towards preconception health by addressing smoking cessation, prenatal vitamin intake with folic acid, and avoiding harmful chemicals, respectively.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a patient about Follistim AQ, a medication prescribed for ovulation induction. What information should be included?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Follistim AQ is a medication used for ovulation induction. Step 2: The medication contains FSH, a hormone that stimulates follicular development. Step 3: Eggs (oocytes) develop within ovarian follicles during the menstrual cycle. Step 4: Follistim AQ stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles. Step 5: Therefore, Option A is correct as it accurately explains how Follistim AQ works. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: While Follistim is a form of FSH, the key point is its role in stimulating follicular development, not just being a manufactured hormone. C: Rapid weight gain is not a typical effect of ovulation induction with Follistim AQ. D: Side effects like breast tenderness and mood changes may occur, but they are not the primary focus of educating a patient about how the medication works.
Question 4 of 5
A patient undergoing ovarian stimulation reports mild bloating and abdominal discomfort. What is the nurse's appropriate response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because bloating and abdominal discomfort can be early signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a serious condition that requires monitoring. Choice B is incorrect as these symptoms can indeed be related to ovarian stimulation. Choice C is incorrect as abdominal discomfort does not guarantee successful ovulation. Choice D is incorrect as these symptoms do not necessarily suggest treatment ineffectiveness. Monitoring and assessing for signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are crucial in this scenario.
Question 5 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.
