NSG 550 EXAMS QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS ,PASS GUIDE
(GRADED A+)2026/2027
Mammography recommendations - ANS ✅-Mammography: For masses. If
results are different from clinical exam, trust your exam findings. May have a
false negative- not infallible. Continue work up process even with negative
mammogram.
Screening mammography: USPSTF: begin every 2 year screening at 50, d/c at age
75. May start in 40s dep. On risk factors. Others say at 40 and every year.
BIRADS: standardized system of reporting. Quality assurance.
frequency of clinical breast exam - ANS ✅-For women who are at average risk
of breast cancer and who do not have symptoms, the following are suggested:
Clinical breast exam every 1-3 years for women aged 25-39 years
Clinical breast exam every year for women aged 40 years and older
blood typing - ANS ✅-The blood of one person is different from another's due
to the presence of antigens on the surface of the erythrocytes. The major
method of typing blood is the ABO system and includes types A, B, O, and AB.
The other major method of typing blood is the Rh factor, consisting of the two
types, Rh+ and Rh-.
, Cytomegalovirus - ANS ✅-A group of large herpes-type viruses found in most
body fluids and most often causing an infection without signs or symptoms. Can
cause a serious illness when the individual has a weakened immune system or
when passed from mother to unborn child.
Testing for cytomegalovirus - ANS ✅-
Estrogen fraction - ANS ✅-Estradiol (E2) is the most potent estrogen produced
in the ovary. FSH & LH stimulate ovary to produce E2, peaks during ovulatory
phase of menstrual cycle. Used to eval menstrual and fertility problems,
menopausal status, sexual maturity, gynecomastic, feminization syndromes or
as a tumor marker of pts w/ ovarian tumors. Estrone (E1) is secreted by the
ovary but mostly converted from androstendione in peripheral tissues, it is the
major circulating estrogen after menopause. Estriol (E3) is major estrogen in
pregnant female. Urine & blood studies for E3 provide objective means of
assessing placental function and fetal normality in high risk pregnancies.
luteinizing hormone (LH) - ANS ✅-made in pituitary gland and triggers release
of egg from ovary (ovulation). spikes just before ovulation.
An LH test works closely with another hormone called follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) to control sexual function
FSH - ANS ✅-A tropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that
targets the gonads.
In females, FSH stimulates the ovaries to develop follicles (oogenesis) and
secrete estrogen; in males, FSH stimulates spermatogenesis.
