HESI RN

Reproductive Health Exam

1. 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.

2. The weight of the non-pregnant uterus is approximately ___________grams.

A. 57
B. 80
C. 66
D. 71

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 80. The non-pregnant uterus typically weighs around 80 grams. This weight may vary slightly among individuals, but 80 grams is a commonly accepted average. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the typical weight of the non-pregnant uterus. It is important to remember this approximate weight for medical reference and understanding of normal anatomical variations.

3. In Reproductive Health services, decision-making about RH matters is mostly done by:

A. The Woman's parents
B. The Man's parents
C. The Husband
D. The Wife

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In many societies, the husband often plays a significant role in decision-making about reproductive health matters, making choice C the correct answer. While the woman's parents might have some influence in certain cultures, the husband typically has a more direct role in such decisions. Choices A and B are less likely as the focus is on the immediate family unit rather than extended family members. Choice D, the wife, is less common in patriarchal societies where men usually have more authority in decision-making regarding reproductive health matters.

4. Discuss the anatomical/physiological changes in pregnancy related to the breasts.

A. Breast tenderness increases, circulatory supply to the breasts increases, leading to breast enlargement, and colostrum secretion occurs.
B. Breast tenderness decreases, and there is no significant change in breast size.
C. Breast changes include decreased tenderness and reduced circulatory supply.
D. Breasts do not undergo significant changes during pregnancy.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During pregnancy, the breasts undergo significant anatomical and physiological changes. These changes include increased breast tenderness, an increase in circulatory supply to the breasts, resulting in breast enlargement, and the secretion of colostrum. Choice B is incorrect as breast tenderness actually increases during pregnancy. Choice C is incorrect as the circulatory supply to the breasts increases rather than reduces. Choice D is incorrect as breasts do undergo notable changes during pregnancy.

5. Approximately how many primordial follicles are present in the cortex of the ovary at birth?

A. 250,000
B. 200,000
C. 150,000
D. 100,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 250,000. At birth, there are approximately 250,000 primordial follicles in the cortex of each ovary. These primordial follicles represent the reserve of oocytes that a female will have throughout her reproductive life. Choice B, 200,000, is incorrect as the number is higher. Choices C and D, 150,000 and 100,000 respectively, are also incorrect as they underestimate the actual number of primordial follicles present at birth.
