BIOD 101 Module 5 | Essential Biology I w/Lab Exam
Q&A | Portage Learning
Here are 100 original NCLEX-style practice questions for BIOD 101 Module 5 | Essential
Biology I. This module focuses on the reproductive system, human development,
pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum care, contraception, sexually transmitted
infections, aging, and related clinical prioritization.
Question 1:
A nurse is teaching a client about female reproductive anatomy. Which structure
produces eggs and female sex hormones?
A. Fallopian tube
B. Ovary
C. Uterus
D. Cervix
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
The ovaries produce ova (eggs) and secrete estrogen and progesterone.
Question 2:
Where does fertilization typically occur?
A. Ovary
B. Fallopian tube
C. Uterus
D. Vagina
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
Fertilization usually occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
Question 3:
Where does implantation of the fertilized egg normally occur?
A. Ovary
B. Fallopian tube
,C. Uterus
D. Cervix
Correct answer: C
Rationale:
Implantation occurs in the endometrium of the uterus.
Question 4:
A nurse is explaining the role of the cervix during labor. What is the primary function of
the cervix?
A. Produce eggs
B. Dilate to allow passage of the fetus
C. Secrete progesterone
D. Store sperm
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
The cervix effaces and dilates during labor to allow the fetus to pass through the birth
canal.
Question 5:
Which structure in the male reproductive system produces sperm and testosterone?
A. Prostate gland
B. Testes
C. Epididymis
D. Vas deferens
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
The testes produce sperm and testosterone.
Question 6:
Where do sperm mature and store before ejaculation?
A. Prostate gland
B. Testes
C. Epididymis
D. Vas deferens
,Correct answer: C
Rationale:
Sperm mature and are stored in the epididymis.
Question 7:
Which structure carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra?
A. Prostate gland
B. Testes
C. Epididymis
D. Vas deferens
Correct answer: D
Rationale:
The vas deferens transports sperm during ejaculation.
Question 8:
Which gland produces seminal fluid that nourishes and protects sperm?
A. Prostate gland
B. Testes
C. Epididymis
D. Vas deferens
Correct answer: A
Rationale:
The prostate gland produces seminal fluid, which is part of semen.
Question 9:
A nurse is teaching about the menstrual cycle. Which hormone surge triggers ovulation?
A. Estrogen
B. Progesterone
C. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Correct answer: C
Rationale:
A surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation.
, Question 10:
Which hormone prepares the uterus for implantation and maintains early pregnancy?
A. Estrogen
B. Progesterone
C. LH
D. FSH
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
Progesterone thickens the endometrium and maintains pregnancy.
Question 11:
A client asks when during the menstrual cycle pregnancy is most likely. Which phase is
most fertile?
A. Menstrual phase
B. Follicular phase
C. Ovulation
D. Luteal phase
Correct answer: C
Rationale:
Ovulation is the most fertile period because an egg is released and viable for about 24
hours.
Question 12:
What is the function of the corpus luteum?
A. Produce estrogen only
B. Produce progesterone to maintain the endometrium
C. Produce LH
D. Produce FSH
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
The corpus luteum secretes progesterone to maintain the endometrial lining.
