HESI RN

Reproductive Health Exam

1. At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

A. Montgomery's tubercles are prominent.
B. Darkening of the nipple.
C. Prickling, tingling sensation.
D. Colostrum can be expressed.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the sensation of prickling and tingling in the breasts is common due to hormonal changes. Montgomery's tubercles becoming prominent is more characteristic of early pregnancy, typically around the first trimester. Darkening of the nipple, known as areola darkening, can occur but is more commonly observed later in pregnancy. The expression of colostrum, the first milk produced by the mammary glands, usually happens closer to the end of pregnancy or after childbirth, not typically at 16 weeks.

2. Which of the following is an example of a viviparous animal?

A. Goat
B. Duck
C. Crocodile
D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, goat. Viviparous animals give birth to live young ones instead of laying eggs. Ducks and crocodiles are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs, making them incorrect choices. 'None of the above' is incorrect because goats are a valid example of viviparous animals.

3. 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.

4. What is the reasonable available distance from all patients to offer Primary Health Care (PHC) services?

A. Within a 20 Km radius
B. Within a 15 Km radius
C. Within a 12 Km radius
D. Within a 10 Km radius

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is within a 20 Km radius. Primary Health Care services should be accessible within a 20 Km radius to ensure adequate coverage for all patients. This distance allows for a reasonable reach while ensuring that individuals can access essential healthcare services in a timely manner. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they offer distances that may limit accessibility and coverage, potentially leaving some patients without timely access to necessary healthcare.

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.
