While giving a history, the patient reports having herpes genitalis. Based on this information, which finding does the nurse anticipate during the assessment?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Small vesicles on the genitalia. Genital herpes typically presents with small vesicles on the genitalia. These vesicles are usually painful and may be accompanied by itching or burning sensations. The presence of vesicles is a hallmark sign of genital herpes. Summary: B: Single, firm, painless, open sore is more characteristic of syphilis, not genital herpes. C: Pain when palpating the cervix is not a typical finding in genital herpes. D: Malodorous greenish-yellow vaginal discharge is more indicative of a bacterial infection like trichomoniasis, not genital herpes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Positive result of hCG test. This may indicate that the patient is pregnant, which would significantly alter the plans for the x-rays due to the potential harm to the fetus from radiation exposure. A: Report of abdominal pain is a common symptom after a motor vehicle crash and would not directly alter the plans for x-rays. C: Blood pressure of 172/88 mm Hg could indicate hypertension but would not directly impact the need for chest and abdominal x-rays. D: Temperature of 102.1°F (38.9°C) could suggest an infection but would not typically change the necessity for x-rays.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: All of the above. Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring from a single parent without the involvement of gametes or fertilization. - Fission: Organism splits into two or more parts, each regenerating into a new individual. - Fragmentation: Parent organism breaks into fragments, with each fragment developing into a new individual. - Budding: New individuals develop as outgrowths or buds from the parent organism. All these processes result in genetically identical offspring, making them examples of asexual reproduction.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Sperm are stored in the epididymis, ascend into the vas deferens prior to ejaculation, and are discharged from the penis through the urethra. The epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored. The vas deferens is the duct through which sperm travels from the epididymis to the urethra for ejaculation. The urethra is the final pathway for sperm to exit the body. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct anatomical pathway of sperm from storage to ejaculation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the luminal epithelium of efferent ductules is indeed irregular, which helps in absorption and modification of fluid. A, Leydig cells are located outside the seminiferous tubule. B, Sertoli cells provide nourishment and support to developing sperm cells but do not mature spermatids. D, Contraction of smooth muscle in vas deferens is stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system, not the sympathetic.
