Anatomy and Physiology of the Female Reproductive System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which piece of the usual equipment setup for a pelvic examination is omitted with a Pap test?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lubricant. During a Pap test, lubricant should not be used as it can interfere with the cytology sample collection. The speculum is needed to visualize the cervix, the fixative agent is used to preserve the sample, and gloves and eye protectors are essential for safety. Omitting lubricant ensures accurate sample collection for Pap testing, making it the correct choice.
Question 2 of 5
Which sexually transmitted disease can be treated and eradicated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Chlamydia. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that can be easily treated and eradicated with antibiotics. Treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional. Regular testing and treatment are essential to prevent complications and the spread of the infection. Rationale: - Herpes (A) and AIDS (B) are viral infections that cannot be completely eradicated. Treatment can manage symptoms but not cure the diseases. - Venereal warts (D), caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be treated but not eradicated. Recurrence is possible even after treatment.
Question 3 of 5
Which information should the nurse stress in teaching a patient how best to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decrease her consumption of caffeine. Caffeine can exacerbate PMS symptoms such as irritability and breast tenderness. By reducing caffeine intake, the patient may experience a reduction in these symptoms. Choice B is incomplete. Choice C is incorrect as alcohol can worsen PMS symptoms. Choice D is incorrect as decreasing fluid intake is not recommended, as it may lead to dehydration and exacerbate symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
Which specific instruction should the nurse teach to assist a patient to regain control of her urinary sphincter?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Performing Kegel exercises strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which can help improve urinary sphincter control. These exercises involve contracting and releasing the muscles that control urination. This instruction directly targets the issue of regaining control over the urinary sphincter. Choice B is nonsensical and irrelevant. Choice C, voiding every hour while awake, may not address the underlying muscle weakness causing the issue. Choice D is incomplete and does not provide any specific guidance on how to address the problem.
