Question 1 of 5

Which situation best describes secondary infertility in a couple?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because secondary infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive after having one or more children without any fertility issues. This situation indicates that the couple had a successful pregnancy in the past but is now facing difficulties conceiving again. A, B, and C are incorrect: A: Never conceived - This does not align with the definition of secondary infertility as it involves a previous successful pregnancy. B: Had repeated spontaneous abortions - This refers to recurrent pregnancy loss, not secondary infertility. C: Not conceived after 1 year of unprotected intercourse - This describes primary infertility, not secondary infertility.

Question 2 of 5

A client is admitted to the labor and birthing suite in early labor. On review of her prenatal history, the nurse determines that the client's pelvic shape as identified in the antepartum notes is the most favorable one for a vaginal birth. Which pelvic shape would the nurse have noted?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The gynecoid pelvic shape is the most favorable for vaginal birth due to its optimal dimensions and orientation for the passage of the fetus. The anthropoid pelvis is also favorable for vaginal birth, but it is not the most favorable shape. The android pelvis and platypelloid pelvis are less favorable for vaginal birth, with the android pelvis having slow descent of the fetal head and the platypelloid pelvis often requiring cesarean birth.
