ATI Nursing 137 Exam 3 Fall 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing the male genital organ. The nurse recognizes that which of the following is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prostate. The prostate is an accessory glandular structure for the male genital organs as it secretes a milky fluid that contributes to semen. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Vas deferens is a duct that carries sperm from the testes, not a glandular structure.
B) Scrotum is the sac that houses the testes but does not produce any secretions.
D) Testis is the primary male reproductive organ responsible for sperm production but is not an accessory glandular structure.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a male client about the reproductive system. The nurse recognizes that which structure secretes a thin milky alkaline fluid to enhance the viability of sperm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cowper gland. The Cowper gland, also known as the bulbourethral gland, secretes a thin milky alkaline fluid that helps to neutralize the acidity of the urethra and enhance the viability of sperm. This fluid also lubricates the urethra, aiding in the passage of sperm during ejaculation. The other choices are incorrect because the prostate gland mainly produces a milky alkaline fluid to nourish and protect sperm, while the median sulcus is a groove on the surface of the prostate. The Cowper gland is the specific structure responsible for secreting the described fluid, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client's joint for range of movement after falling in the shower. The nurse asks the client to move the right arm away from the center of the body. The nurse correctly documents the joint movement as?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Abduction. Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. In this case, when the nurse asks the client to move the right arm away from the center of the body, it is an abduction movement. Flexion (choice
A) is the bending of a joint, extension (choice
B) is the straightening of a joint, and adduction (choice
D) is the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body. In this scenario, the movement described is specifically away from the midline, making abduction the correct choice.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation in the body, which occurs in the bone marrow. This term specifically refers to the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Hepatomegaly (
A) refers to liver enlargement, osteogenesis (
C) is the process of bone formation, and splenomegaly (
D) refers to spleen enlargement. These terms are not related to blood cell formation.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a female client who reports painful menstruation. Which of the following should the nurse document in the client's record about painful menstruation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstruation, which is the main concern reported by the client. Dysuria (
B) refers to painful urination and is unrelated to menstrual pain. Hematuria (
C) is the presence of blood in the urine, not related to menstrual pain. Dyschezia (

Therefore, only dysmenorrhea accurately reflects the client's reported symptom of painful menstruation.
