Nursing Elites

1. What forms the vaginal lining?

• A. Squamous epithelium
• B. Stratified epithelium
• C. Vascular connective tissue
• D. Muscle coat

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The vaginal lining is primarily formed by squamous epithelium. Squamous epithelium is the correct answer because it is the type of epithelium that lines the vaginal canal. Stratified epithelium consists of multiple layers and is not the primary type found in the vaginal lining. Vascular connective tissue and muscle coat are not the main components of the vaginal lining, making them incorrect choices.

2. What is one role of the hormone estrogen?

• A. Stimulates the development of the milk-producing tissue.
• B. Stimulates the production of lactoferrin.
• C. Stimulates the development of the nipple and duct system in the breast.
• D. Stimulates the secretion of relaxin.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Estrogen stimulates the development of the milk-producing tissue in the breast. This hormone is essential in preparing the breast for milk production. Choice B is incorrect because lactoferrin production is not a primary role of estrogen. Choice C is incorrect as estrogen primarily influences the development of the breast tissue rather than specifically the nipple and duct system. Choice D is incorrect because relaxin secretion is not a function typically associated with estrogen.

3. Which hormone is released from the testes?

• A. Progesterone
• B. Vasopressin
• C. Testosterone
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is testosterone. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone produced in the testes. Progesterone is a female sex hormone primarily produced in the ovaries, not in the testes. Vasopressin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland to regulate water balance in the body, not produced by the testes. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.

4. How can the need to respect clients' rights to informed consent be attained in quality of care?

• A. by providing adequate information and counseling
• B. by forcing all patients scheduled for surgery to sign the consent form
• C. by engaging the Senior medical superintendent of the hospital to sign consent forms for the patients
• D. by simply telling the patient to sign the consent form

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'by providing adequate information and counseling.' Respecting clients' rights to informed consent involves ensuring that patients are adequately informed about the procedures they will undergo. This includes providing them with all necessary information and counseling to make an informed decision. Choice B is incorrect because forcing patients to sign consent forms does not ensure that they are fully informed or that their rights are respected. Choice C is incorrect as involving a senior medical superintendent to sign consent forms does not guarantee that patients are adequately informed. Choice D is incorrect because simply telling the patient to sign the consent form does not fulfill the requirement of providing adequate information for informed consent.

5. Which hormone regulates the production of milk after childbirth?

• A. Prolactin
• B. Oxytocin
• C. Estrogen
• D. Progesterone

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Prolactin. Prolactin is the hormone responsible for regulating the production of milk after childbirth. It stimulates the mammary glands in the breasts to produce milk. Oxytocin, on the other hand, is responsible for the ejection of milk from the breasts. Estrogen and progesterone play roles in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy but are not directly involved in milk production. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
