The document contains 10 multiple choice questions about female and male reproductive systems, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and signs and symptoms of pregnancy. It provides detailed explanations for each answer that describe hormone functions, stages of labor, use of Naegele's rule to estimate due dates, appropriate nursing interventions for SIADH, locations of common pregnancy skin changes, and classification of cervical and uterine exam findings.

2. Q1. A nursing instructor is conducting
lecture and is reviewing the functions
of the female reproductive system.
She asks Mark to describe the follicle-
stimulating hormone (FSH) and the
luteinizing hormone (LH). Mark
accurately responds by stating that:
A) FSH and LH are released from the
anterior pituitary gland.
B) FSH and LH are secreted by the
corpus luteum of the ovary
C) FSH and LH are secreted by the
adrenal glands
D) FSH and LH stimulate the formation
of milk during pregnancy.
FSH and LH are released from the anterior
pituitary gland. FSH and LH, when stimulated
by gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the
hypothalamus, are released from the anterior
pituitary gland to stimulate follicular growth
and development, growth of the graafian
follicle, and production of progesterone.
3. Q2. Which of the following refers to the single
cell that reproduces itself after conception?
A) Chromosome
B) Blastocyst
C) Zygote
D) Trophoblast
The zygote is the single cell that
reproduces itself after conception. The
chromosome is the material that makes
up the cell and is gained from each
parent. Blastocyst and trophoblast are
later terms for the embryo after zygote.
4. 3. When teaching a group of adolescents
about male hormone production, which of the
following would the nurse include as being
produced by the Leydig cells?
A) Follicle-stimulating hormone
B) Testosterone
C) Luteinizing hormone
D) Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Testosterone is produced by the Leyding cells in the
seminiferous tubules. Follicle-stimulating hormone and
luteinizing hormone are released by the anterior
pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is responsible for
releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
5. 4. During which of the following stages of labor would
the nurse assess ¡°crowning¡±?
A) First stage
B) Second stage
C) Third stage
D) Fourth stage
Crowing, which occurs when the newborn¡¯s head or
presenting part appears at the vaginal opening,
occurs during the second stage of labor. During the
first stage of labor, cervical dilation and effacement
occur. During the third stage of labor, the newborn
and placenta are delivered. The
6. Q5. A client arrives at a prenatal clinic for the first
prenatal assessment. The client tells a nurse that the
first day of her last menstrual period was September
19th, 2013. Using Naegele¡¯s rule, the nurse determines
the estimated date of confinement as:
A) July 26, 2013
B) June 12, 2014
C) June 26, 2014
D) July 12, 2014
June 26, 2014. Accurate use of Naegele¡¯s rule
requires that the woman have a regular 28-day
menstrual cycle. Add 7 days to the first day of
the last menstrual period, subtract three
months, and then add one year to that date.
7. Q6. A male client is admitted for treatment of the
syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
(SIADH). Which nursing intervention is
appropriate?
A) Infusing I.V. fluids rapidly as ordered
B) Encouraging increased oral intake
C) Restricting fluids
D) Administering glucose-containing I.V. fluids as
ordered
To reduce water retention in a client with the
SIADH, the nurse should restrict fluids.
Administering fluids by any route would further
increase the client¡¯s already heightened fluid load.
8. Q7. Which of the following fundal heights
indicates less than 12 weeks¡¯ gestation when the
date of the LMP is unknown?
A) Uterus in the pelvis
B) Uterus at the xiphoid
C) Uterus in the abdomen
D) Uterus at the umbilicus
A. When the LMP is unknown, the gestational age
of the fetus is estimated by uterine size or position
(fundal height). The presence of the uterus in the
pelvis indicates less than 12 weeks¡¯ gestation. At
approximately 12 to 14 weeks, the fundus is out of
the pelvis above the symphysis pubis. The fundus
is at the level of the umbilicus at approximately 20
weeks¡¯ gestation and reaches the xiphoid at term
or 40 weeks.
9. Q8. On which of the following areas would the nurse expect to
observe chloasma?
A) Breast, areola, and nipples
B) Chest, neck, arms, and legs
C) Abdomen, breast, and thighs
D) Cheeks, forehead, and nose
Chloasma, also called the mask of pregnancy, is an
irregular hyperpigmented area found on the face. It
is not seen on the breasts, areola, nipples, chest,
neck, arms, legs, abdomen, or thighs.

10. Q9. Cervical softening and uterine souffle are classified
as which of the following?
A) Diagnostic signs
B) Presumptive signs
C) Probable signs
D) Positive signs
Cervical softening (Goodell sign) and uterine
souffl¨¦ are two probable signs of pregnancy.
Probable signs are objective findings that strongly
suggest pregnancy. Other probable signs include
Hegar sign, which is softening of the lower uterine
segment. Presumptive signs are subjective signs
and include amenorrhea; nausea and vomiting;
urinary frequency; breast tenderness and
changes; excessive fatigue; uterine enlargement;
and quickening.
11. Q10. Which of the following fundal heights indicates less than 12
weeks¡¯ gestation when the date of the LMP is unknown?
A) Uterus in the pelvis
B) Uterus at the xiphoid
C) Uterus in the abdomen
D) Uterus at the umbilicus
When the LMP is unknown, the gestational age of the fetus
is estimated by uterine size or position (fundal height). The
presence of the uterus in the pelvis indicates less than 12
weeks¡¯ gestation. At approximately 12 to 14 weeks, the
fundus is out of the pelvis above the symphysis pubis. The
fundus is at the level of the umbilicus at approximately 20
weeks¡¯ gestation and reaches the xiphoid at term or 40
weeks
