What hormone stimulates the release of the follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH) from both male and female glands?
A)Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
B)Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
C)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
D)Prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH) - CORRECT ANSWERS c
The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH,
which are released from the anterior pituitary in response to stimulation from
GnRH that is released from the hypothalamus. GHRH stimulates the release of
the growth hormone, which targets cell growth. TRH stimulates the thyroid-
stimulating hormone, which targets the thyroid gland. PRH stimulates the
release of prolactin, which is necessary for milk production.
A nurse is providing patient education to a patient as part of her work in a
fertility clinic. The nurse explains possible reasons for infertility. When
explaining how the ovaries are involved in conception, what will the nurse
stress?
A)Ova quickly degenerate and most are absorbed in the body before the age of
12.
B)The ovaries at birth contain all of the ova that a woman will have.
C)Ova aggregate, causing millions to be contained in a storage site called a
follicle.
D)Follicles produce only estrogen; the uterus produces progesterone. -
CORRECT ANSWERS b
It would be important to explain that the woman's ova do not increase or
decrease from birth to childbearing years. The nurse will stress that all the ova

that a woman will have will be present at birth. The patient should understand
that if she does not ovulate 1 month or for several months, it is not because
she has done something to her body to cause this. Ova slowly degenerate over
a lifetime or they are released once a month until menopause is complete.
Each ovum is contained in a storage site called a follicle, which produces the
female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
The nursing instructor is discussing the physiology of pregnancy with her
clinical group. What hormone, produced during pregnancy, would the
instructor tell the students helps to maintain the pregnancy until birth of the
fetus?
A)High levels of estrogen only
B)High levels of estrogen, low levels of progesterone
C)Low levels of estrogen, high levels of progesterone
D)High levels of estrogen and progesterone - CORRECT ANSWERS D
Feedback:
In a pregnant woman, both estrogen and progesterone hormones have specific
functions. High levels of both hormones are needed for the maintenance of
pregnancy.
The nursing instructor is talking with her class of students about the female
reproductive system. A student is trying to understand the role of
progesterone in the body. What nonreproductive affect does progesterone
have on the body?
A)Decreased body temperature B)Decreased appetite C)Anti-
insulinD)Increased uterine motility - CORRECT ANSWERS C
Feedback:
Progesterone has an anti-insulin effect to generate a higher blood glucose
concentration to allow for rapid diffusion of glucose to the developing embryo.

Body temperature and appetite are increased by progesterone. Uterine
motility is decreased to provide increased chance that implantation can occur.
What hormone causes ovulation to occur? A)Adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH)
B)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
C)Prolactin
D)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) - CORRECT ANSWERS B
Feedback:
When the circulating estrogen level rises high enough, it stimulates a massive
release of LH from the anterior pituitary causing one of the developing
follicles to burst and release the ovum with its stored hormones into the
system. ACTH targets the adrenal corticosteroid hormone, which helps
prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response. Prolactin is responsible for
milk production and FSH in combination with LH stimulate follicles on the
outer surface of the uterus to grow and develop and also stimulates the
release of estrogen and progesterone.
A 16-year-old girl comes to the clinic complaining of severe menstrual cramps.
The girl is concerned about the pain and worried that "something is wrong."
The nurse explains to the patient that she has cramping during her menstrual
period because of what?
A)An increase in the levels of estrogen and progesterone, which cause uterine
contractions
B)Low levels of plasminogen in the uterus that cause the shedding of the
lining of the uterus
C)Prostaglandins in the uterus, which stimulate uterine contractions to clamp
off vessels as the lining of her uterus sheds

D)An increase in progesterone and a decrease of estrogen cause the lining of
the uterus to slough away - CORRECT ANSWERS C Feedback:
Prostaglandins in the uterus stimulate uterine contractions to clamp off
vessels in the lining of the uterus, which is the cause of the cramping. The
decrease of estrogen and progesterone after the involution of the corpus
luteum triggers the release of follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) and
luteinizing hormone (LH). The decreased levels of FSH and LH cause the inner
lining of the uterus to slough off because the vascular system is no longer
being stimulated. High, not low, levels of plasminogen in the uterus prevent
clotting of the lining as the vessels shear off.
What drug would the nurse expect to administer if beta-specific adrenergic
agonist effects are desired to prevent bronchospasm during anesthesia?
A)Dobutamine (Dobutrex) B)Ephedrine (generic) C)Isoproterenol (Isuprel)
D)Phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) - CORRECT ANSWERS C
Isoproterenol is a beta-specific adrenergic agonist used to prevent
bronchospasm during anesthesia. Phenylephrine is an alpha-specific
adrenergic agonist. Both dobutamine and ephedrine are alpha- and beta-
adrenergic agonists.
The nurse is preparing discharge teaching for four patients. Which patient
should be advised by the nurse that over-the-counter cold and allergy
preparations contain phenylephrine and should be avoided?
A)A 47-year-old woman with hypertensionB)A 52-year-old man with adult
onset diabetes
C)A 17-year-old girl with symptoms of an upper respiratory infection
D)A 62-year-old man with gout - CORRECT ANSWERS A
