MN551 Unit 10 Final Exam
During an examination, the nurse observes a female patient's vestibule and expects to see
the:
A )urethral meatus and vaginal orifice.
B) vaginal orifice and vestibular (Bartholin) glands.
C) urethral meatus and paraurethral (Skene) glands.
D) paraurethral (Skene) and vestibular (Bartholin) glands.
ANS: A
The labial structures encircle a boat-shaped space, or cleft, termed the vestibule. Within
it are numerous openings. The urethral meatus and vaginal orifice are visible. The ducts of the
paraurethral (Skene) glands and the vestibular (Bartholin) glands are present but not visible.
During a speculum inspection of the vagina, the nurse would expect to see what at the
end of the vaginal canal?
A) Cervix
B) Uterus
C) Ovaries
D) Fallopian tubes
ANS: A
At the end of the canal, the uterine cervix projects into the vagina
The uterus is usually positioned tilting forward and superior to the bladder. This position
is known as:
A) anteverted and anteflexed.
, B) retroverted and anteflexed.
C retroverted and retroflexed.
D)superiorverted and anteflexed.
ANS: A
The uterus is freely movable, not fixed, and usually tilts forward and superior to the

An 11-year-old girl is in the clinic for a sports physical. The nurse notices that she has
begun to develop breasts, and during the conversation the girl reveals that she is worried about
her development. The nurse should use which of these techniques to best assist the young girl in
understanding the expected sequence for development? The nurse should:
A)use the Tanner's table on the five stages of sexual development.
B)
describe her development and compare it with that of other girls her age.
C)
use Jacobsen's table on expected development on the basis of height and weight data.
D)
reassure her that her development is within normal limits and should tell her not to
worry about the next step.
ANS: A
Tanner's table on the five stages of pubic hair development is helpful in teaching girls the
expected sequence of sexual development (see Table 26-1). The other responses are not
appropriate.
