Reproductive System Exam Quizlet

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Patients undergoing gynecological surgery are typically advised to be nil by mouth for 4-6 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of aspiration. This duration allows the stomach to empty its contents, decreasing the likelihood of regurgitation and aspiration of stomach contents during surgery. Choices A, B, and D have shorter durations and may not provide sufficient time for adequate gastric emptying, increasing the risk of aspiration.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: EDD (Expected date of delivery). In a gynecological history, EDD is not typically included as it pertains more to obstetric history. Parity, lost normal menstrual period, and last delivery are important components of gynecological history. Parity refers to the number of times a woman has given birth to a fetus past 20 weeks' gestation. Lost normal menstrual period can provide insight into potential gynecological issues, while last delivery details the most recent childbirth experience. Therefore, EDD is the outlier in this context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Excessive blood loss is not a delay associated with maternal mortality but rather a direct complication. Delays in recognizing danger signs, arriving at a health facility, and initiating treatment are factors that can contribute to maternal mortality by impeding timely access to necessary care.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Expanded access to family planning through non-public delivery systems involves utilizing various strategies to reach more people. Options A, B, and C are all effective methods for expanding access to family planning services. The involvement of key persons in the community is not a typical approach for non-public delivery systems. Key persons in the community may have influence but may not be directly involved in the delivery of family planning services, making option D the correct answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. During pregnancy, the placenta produces hCG, which can be detected in the urine or blood to confirm pregnancy. Estrogen and progesterone are also essential hormones in pregnancy but are not typically used for pregnancy tests. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is involved in the menstrual cycle and ovulation, not pregnancy.
