HESI RN

Reproductive Health Exam

1. What is the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography?

A. Check a woman's tubes and is done with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram
B. Detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in urine or whole blood.
C. Diagnose ovarian cancer using MRI technology.
D. Detect cancer cells in the cervix.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography is a test used to check a woman's fallopian tubes with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram. This test is specifically designed to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography.

2. What prompted Zambia to implement family planning services?

A. The nation started to experience the effects of rapid population growth on the economy and individual welfare.
B. Donors provided free family planning pills.
C. Mothers were delivering twice a year.
D. There were too many abortions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Rapid population growth's impact on the economy and individual welfare prompted Zambia to implement family planning services. This is because a rapidly growing population can strain resources, lead to unemployment, poverty, and inadequate access to healthcare. Choice B is incorrect because the provision of free family planning pills by donors may have been a subsequent intervention rather than the initial reason for implementing family planning services. Choice C is irrelevant as the frequency of deliveries by mothers does not directly relate to the implementation of family planning services. Choice D is also incorrect as high abortion rates may be a consequence of inadequate family planning services rather than the reason for their implementation.

3. Risk of endometrial hyperplasia is greatest in individuals who do not menstruate for at least _____ months and require immediate referral:

A. 2 months
B. 3 months
C. 4 months
D. 5 months

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: '4 months.' The risk of endometrial hyperplasia is highest in individuals who do not menstruate for at least 4 months. This prolonged exposure to unopposed estrogen can lead to endometrial hyperplasia. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the risk is greatest after at least 4 months of not menstruating, not 2, 3, or 5 months.

4. Septic abortion is characterized by:

A. Backache.
B. Os open.
C. Heavy bleeding.
D. Maternal pyrexia.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Septic abortion is characterized by maternal pyrexia. Maternal pyrexia, or fever, is a hallmark sign of septic abortion due to infection. Backache and heavy bleeding can be present in abortion but are not specific to septic abortion. 'Os open' does not directly characterize septic abortion.

5. Which component of reproductive health ensures the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the health care system?

A. Safe motherhood
B. Adolescent health and development
C. Health service delivery
D. Reproductive health information

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Health service delivery is the component of reproductive health that specifically focuses on ensuring the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the healthcare system. While safe motherhood and adolescent health are important aspects of reproductive health, they do not directly address the quality of health services delivery. Reproductive health information, although crucial, is not the component responsible for ensuring the quality of services provided.
