Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology
Question One
A male patient is having some problems with infertility and is waiting for a report on his semen sample. The nurse knows that the problem may not be related to the pH level of the semen based on which of the following pH lab values?
Question One Choices
7.5
6.5
5.5
4.5
Question One Answer
7.5
Question One Rationale
Adequate p H level for semen is 7.5, which aids in the effective transport of sperm. A p H level of 4.5–6.5 is too low.
Question Two
Which selection best describes the correct order of the four phases of the menstrual cycle?
Question Two Choices
Menstrual, follicular, secretory, and ischemic
Luteal, follicular, secretory, and menstrual
Menstrual, proliferative, secretory, and ischemic
Luteal, secretory, ischemic, and follicular
Question Two Answer
Menstrual, proliferative, secretory, and ischemic
Question Two Rationale
Menstrual, proliferative, secretory, and ischemic is the correct order for the four phases of the menstrual cycle. There is no luteal or follicular phase in the menstrual cycle.
Question Three
A nurse is teaching a class on the anatomy of the reproductive system. A student states that she has pain during menstruation. The nurse knows that painful menstruation may be due to which of the following ligaments?
Question Three Choices
Uterosacral ligament
Round ligament
Ovarian ligament
Broad ligament
Question Three Answer
Uterosacral ligament
Question Three Rationale
The uterosacral ligament can contribute to painful menstruation because it contains sensory nerve fibers. Round ligament, ovarian ligaments, and broad ligaments do not contribute to painful menstruation.
Question Four
A nurse is teaching a sex education class about the female reproductive system for sixth-grade girls in a local middle school. The nurse explains that the primary components of the external female reproductive system are which of the following?
Question Four Choices
The clitoris, vaginal canal, and perineal body
The labia, clitoris, and urethra
The mons, labia, and clitoris
The mons, labia, and vagina
Question Four Answer
The mons, labia, and clitoris
Question Four Rationale
The mons, labia, and clitoris make up part of the external female reproductive system. They can be seen directly and inspected. The vaginal canal, cervix, and vagina are all part of the internal female reproductive system.
Question Five
The nurse understands that the function of progesterone includes which of the following? Select all that apply.
Question Five Choices
Preparing the breasts for lactation
Production and growth of body hair
Maturation of the ovarian follicle
Production of thick, viscous mucus in the cervix
Increasing the size and complexity of breast glandular tissue
Question Five Answer
Preparing the breasts for lactation
Production of thick, viscous mucus in the cervix
Increasing the size and complexity of breast glandular tissue
Question Five Rationale
Progesterone is responsible for the preparation of breasts for lactation, increasing the size and complexity of breast glandular tissue, and production of thick, viscous mucus in the cervix. Estrogen is responsible for the production and growth of body hair and the maturation of the ovarian follicles.
