Question 1 of 5
Which information should the nurse stress in teaching a patient how best to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?

Question 3 of 5
How should these findings be interpreted?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because interpreting medical findings requires a comprehensive understanding of the patient's full medical history, including family history. It is essential to consider all relevant information before making any conclusions or decisions. Options A and B provide oversimplified and potentially incorrect interpretations without considering the full context. Option D is extreme and unwarranted without a thorough evaluation. The correct approach is to gather more information to make an informed interpretation based on the individual patient's unique circumstances.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because lumpy areas on the upper outer quadrants of the breasts are characteristic of fibrocystic breast changes, which commonly cause increased tenderness before menses. This finding is important for differential diagnosis and management. Choice B is incorrect because the size of the areas is less relevant than the location and characteristics. Choice C is incorrect as it is not specific to the clinical presentation described. Choice D is incorrect because while an ultrasound may be used in assessing breast lumps, the initial step would be to identify the specific characteristics on physical examination.
Question 5 of 5
Ova and sperm are also known as which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gametes. Ova and sperm are reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction. Gametes are specialized cells that combine during fertilization to form a new organism. They are distinct from gonads (A), which are the organs that produce gametes. Stem cells (C) are undifferentiated cells that can develop into various cell types, not specific to ova and sperm. Hormones (D) are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, not directly related to ova and sperm production.
