The nurse is developing a teaching plan for a client who is scheduled for her first Papanicolaou test. What instruction by the nurse is the most accurate?
- A. “The timing of the Pap smear does not matter.”
- B. “Sexual intercourse will not interfere with the results.”
- C. “Results can be interpreted immediately in the offic
- D. “Results are best if you do not douche 24 hours before the test.”
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Douching can alter the cervical cells and affect the accuracy of the Pap smear results. The rationale is that douching can wash away or change the cervical cells, leading to potential misinterpretation of the test results. Choices A and B are incorrect because the timing of the test and sexual activity can indeed affect the results. Choice C is incorrect as Pap smear results need to be sent to a lab for interpretation by a healthcare provider, not done immediately in the office.
Which hormone triggers ovulation?
- A. GnRH
- B. LH
- C. FSH
- D. Estrogen
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: LH (Luteinizing Hormone) triggers ovulation. Firstly, LH surge stimulates the release of the mature egg from the ovary. Secondly, it plays a crucial role in the development of the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for potential implantation. GnRH (Choice A) is the hormone that stimulates the release of LH and FSH (Choice C) from the pituitary gland, but it does not directly trigger ovulation. Estrogen (Choice D) is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterine lining for implantation but does not directly trigger ovulation.
A man is taking a number of medications, one of which appears to be interfering with the emission phase of the sexual act. Which of the following medications could cause this problem?
- A. A medication that prolongs the duration of action of nitric oxide
- B. A medication that blocks the smooth muscle receptors for nitric oxide
- C. A medication that increases the release of nitric oxide
- D. A testosterone-like androgen compound
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because blocking the smooth muscle receptors for nitric oxide would interfere with vasodilation necessary for an erection during the emission phase of the sexual act. Choice A would actually enhance the effects of nitric oxide, Choice C would increase nitric oxide release which would typically improve sexual function, and Choice D, a testosterone-like androgen compound, would not directly affect the emission phase related to nitric oxide.

The urethra passes through the _____ of the penis.
- A. tunica albuginea
- B. prepuce
- C. corpora spongiosum
- D. corpora cavernosa
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: corpora spongiosum. The urethra passes through the corpora spongiosum of the penis, which is a spongy tissue that surrounds the urethra. This allows for the passage of urine and semen during ejaculation. The other choices are incorrect because: A) The tunica albuginea is a fibrous covering of the corpora cavernosa, not the urethra. B) The prepuce is the foreskin that covers the glans penis, not part of the urethra. D) The corpora cavernosa are erectile tissue responsible for penile erection, not part of the urethra's pathway.
