Normal Anatomy and Physiology of the Female Pelvis Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which statement with regard to reproductive anatomy and physiology is inaccurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Puberty symptoms are actually more prominent in females than males due to the complex hormonal changes leading to the development of secondary sexual characteristics. This is because the female reproductive system is more intricate and involves a more gradual and prolonged process compared to males. Choice A is true as sexually active females can indeed become pregnant. Choice D is also accurate as females generally enter puberty earlier than males.
Question 2 of 5
While performing a self-breast exam, the patient notes an area on the right breast that is nodular, with some associated tenderness. This is a new onset finding because the exams were
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a new nodular area with tenderness in the breast is concerning for a potential breast abnormality or pathology. The nurse should advise the patient to report these findings promptly to a healthcare provider for further evaluation, which may include a clinical breast exam, imaging studies, and possibly a biopsy if warranted. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because B jumps to a conclusion without proper assessment or evaluation, C downplays the significance of the findings without proper validation, and D provides inaccurate information about the association of tenderness with ovulation, which is not relevant in this context.
Question 3 of 5
Which are the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bones and liver. Breast cancer commonly metastasizes to bones and liver due to their rich blood supply, making them favorable sites for cancer cells to spread. Bones provide a supportive environment for cancer growth, while liver offers a hospitable environment for circulating cancer cells. Other choices are incorrect as breast cancer rarely metastasizes to kidneys, heart, blood vessels, or skin. Kidneys are not common sites for breast cancer spread, and heart and blood vessels lack the conducive environment for cancer growth. Skin metastasis in breast cancer is rare and usually indicates advanced disease.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement regarding primary dysmenorrhea is most accurate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because primary dysmenorrhea is often caused by excessive endometrial prostaglandin production, leading to increased uterine contractions and pain. This is supported by research and clinical evidence. A: Incorrect. Not all women experience primary dysmenorrhea; it varies in prevalence. B: Incorrect. Oral contraceptives can help manage dysmenorrhea by reducing prostaglandin production. C: Incorrect. Primary dysmenorrhea is more common in nulliparous women, not multiparous women. In summary, D is correct due to the established link between excessive prostaglandin and primary dysmenorrhea, while the other choices are inaccurate based on current knowledge and research.
