Nursing Elites

1. What is a cord inserted to the very edge of the placenta known as?

• A. Battledore insertion
• B. Placenta velamentosa
• C. Placenta accreta
• D. Vasa Praevia

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A cord inserted to the very edge of the placenta is known as battledore insertion. This occurs when the cord is attached to the fetal membranes at the placental margin rather than directly to the placental tissue. Placenta velamentosa refers to the condition where the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes before it reaches the placenta. Placenta accreta is a condition where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. Vasa Praevia is a condition where fetal blood vessels run across or near the internal cervical opening.

2. What is the area of the uterus where the fallopian tubes are inserted known as?

• A. Fundus
• B. Corpus or body
• C. Cavity
• D. Cornua

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Cornua. The cornua refers to the upper, horn-like parts of the uterus where the fallopian tubes are inserted. The fundus (choice A) is the rounded top portion of the uterus, the corpus or body (choice B) is the main part of the uterus excluding the cervix and fundus, and the cavity (choice C) refers to the internal space within the uterus. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not specifically denote the area where the fallopian tubes are inserted.

3. Which phase of the menstrual cycle is variable?

• A. Ovulatory
• B. Regenerative
• C. Secretory
• D. Menstrual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The regenerative phase of the menstrual cycle is the phase in which the endometrium rebuilds after menstruation. This phase can vary in duration from woman to woman and cycle to cycle. Choice A, the ovulatory phase, is not variable as it typically lasts around 24 hours. Choice C, the secretory phase, is also relatively consistent in its duration. Choice D, the menstrual phase, is the shedding of the endometrial lining and usually lasts around 3-7 days.

4. Appropriate Technologies and Skills:

• A. Must be selected according to universal standards
• B. Involves ensuring the woman delivers at the hospital
• C. Requires specific qualifications such as being a nurse
• D. Necessitates the presence of a doctor at the service providing facility

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because appropriate technologies must adhere to universal standards to ensure their effectiveness. Choice B is incorrect because the question is not specifically referring to childbirth. Choice C is incorrect as it limits the scope to only nurses. Choice D is incorrect as it implies the necessity of a doctor, which may not always be the case.

5. What is dysmenorrhoea?

• A. Heavy menstruation
• B. Light menstruation
• C. Painful menstruation
• D. Infrequent menstruation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Dysmenorrhoea is the medical term for painful menstruation. It is characterized by cramp-like abdominal pain that occurs just before or during menstruation. Choice A, heavy menstruation, is referred to as menorrhagia. Choice B, light menstruation, is not a term used to describe a specific menstrual condition. Choice D, infrequent menstruation, is known as oligomenorrhea, not dysmenorrhoea.
