what phase corresponds with the luteal phase

HESI RN

Reproductive Health Exam

1. What phase corresponds with the luteal phase?

A. Menstrual phase
B. Follicular phase
C. Secretory phase
D. Menstrual phase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The luteal phase corresponds with the secretory phase. During the menstrual cycle, the luteal phase follows ovulation and is characterized by the development of the corpus luteum, secreting progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a potential pregnancy. The other choices, menstrual phase (A), follicular phase (B), and the repeated choice of menstrual phase (D) do not align with the luteal phase and its functions.

2. When does missed abortion occur?

A. The fetus dies and is retained in utero with the placenta and membranes.
B. All products of conception are expelled with minimal bleeding.
C. The cervix remains closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus.
D. The cervix remains closed, but there is heavy bleeding.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Missed abortion occurs when the cervix is closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus. Choice A describes a missed abortion, not choice C. Choice B describes a complete abortion. Choice D describes a threatened abortion, where the cervix remains closed but there is heavy bleeding.

3. Which of the following is not a barrier method of birth control?

A. Vaults
B. Diaphragms
C. Sterilization
D. Cervical caps

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Sterilization. Sterilization is a permanent form of birth control that involves surgical procedures to prevent pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes or vas deferens. Barrier methods physically prevent sperm from reaching the egg, such as vaults, diaphragms, and cervical caps. These devices create a barrier to sperm, unlike sterilization. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are all considered barrier methods of birth control.

4. During fertilization, the portion of the decidua covering the blastocyst is called:

A. Decidua basalis
B. Decidua Vera
C. Decidua parietalis
D. Decidua capsularis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During fertilization, the decidua capsularis is the specific portion of the decidua that covers the blastocyst, providing protection and support. Decidua basalis refers to the part of the decidua located at the site of implantation on the maternal side. Decidua vera is the remainder of the decidua lining the uterus. Decidua parietalis is the portion of the decidua that lines the rest of the uterine cavity, except for the site of implantation. Therefore, in the context of fertilization, the decidua capsularis is the correct answer.

5. The letter 'T' in the Acronym 'GATHER' denotes:

A. Ask the client about themselves - particular needs, obstetric and medical history
B. Tell the client about modern FP methods available, and discuss each in detail
C. Help the client choose a method and repeat information regarding the chosen method if necessary
D. Explain how to use the method - what, where, when, and how

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Tell the client about modern FP methods available, and discuss each in detail.' In the GATHER acronym, 'T' stands for providing information about modern family planning methods to the client and having a detailed discussion. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the 'T' component in the GATHER approach. Choice A focuses more on gathering information from the client, choice C is about helping the client choose a method, and choice D is about explaining how to use the method, none of which align with the 'T' in GATHER.
