WGU D115 UNIT 4 QUSTIONS AND ANSWERS
How many months of unprotected intercourse with the same partner with an inability to
conceive would be considered infertility? - Answers - Infertility is defined as the inability
to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse with the same partner.
A student is learning about pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Which information about PID is correct?
An episode of mild PID can decrease the possibility of a successful pregnancy by 80%.
PID has not been associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Contracting this infection increases the risk of cervical cancer.
This inflammation results in permanent changes to the ciliated epithelium of the
fallopian tubes. - Answers - PID results in permanent changes to the ciliated epithelium
of the fallopian tubes. The two students have clarified the information on PID.
Which factor increases the risk for ovarian cancer after the age of 40 years?
Prolonged lactation
Multiple pregnancies
Oral contraceptive use
Never having children - Answers - Never having children
Interruption of ovulatory cycles appears to have a protective function against developing
ovarian cancer. This can be achieved with pregnancy, lactation, or use of oral
contraceptives.
Why is it advised to have children before 35 - Answers - Egg quality and sperm quality
and motility decline with age.
A healthcare professional is educating a community men's group on symptoms of
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Which pathophysiological condition causes most of the symptoms of BPH?
Obstruction of the urethra
Compression of the urethra
Infection of the prostate
Ischemia of the urethra - Answers - The prostate grows and compresses the urethra,
causing most of the symptoms of BPH.
Which unique factor causes adolescent girls to be at high risk for sexually transmitted
infections (STIs)?
The position of susceptible cells on the adolescent cervix is different than in older
women.
They are in an experimental phase and believe they are resistant to developing STIs.
The length of the vaginal canal is short in adolescents.
The anus to the vaginal introitus is in close proximity in adolescent girls. - Answers - The
transformational zone extends outside the cervical os in females of early reproductive
age. As females age, this zone recedes into the cervical canal.
, How is gonorrhea transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus?
Unbound in the blood via the placenta
By direct inoculation with the fetal scalp electrodes exposed to maternal body fluids
Attached to immunoglobulin G (IgG) via the placenta
Predominantly through infected cervical and vaginal secretions during the birth process
- Answers - Gonorrhea is found in body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions. It
can be transmitted to an infant primarily through contact with the birth canal and
affected secretions.
Vital capacity (VC) decreases throughout the life span. This is due to the expected
aging change in the adult where alveolar surface area Choose...increases decreases. -
Answers - decreases Less matter means less surface area.
What increases as a result of pulmonary edema in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS)?
Oncotic pressure
Serum sodium and water levels
Capillary permeability
Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Answers - ARDS is known to cause increased capillary
permeability, thereby causing an influx of fluid such as serum and water to pool inside
the alveoli leading to pulmonary edema
Which three symptoms can most likely be found in a child with croup?
Low-grade fever
Coarse rhonchi
Sore throat
Nasopharyngeal congestion
Barking cough
Check My Answer - Answers - Sore throat and low-grade fever are often seen with
croup, and a seal-like barking cough is pathognomonic for croup. Higher fevers are
usually seen with pneumonia.
Select three true statements regarding the infant's respiratory system.
Increased resiliency makes infants more tolerant of respiratory problems than older
children.
Airway obstruction occurs sooner in infants than in older children.
Infants are obligatory nose breathers.
An adult's chest wall compliance is lower than an infant's.
A baby is born with all the alveoli he or she will ever have - Answers - An adult's chest
wall compliance is lower than an infant's because bones are more pliable in children,
resulting in greater chest expansion. Infants are obligatory nose breathers; people learn
to breathe through their mouths with age and conditioning. Airway obstruction occurs
sooner in infants than in older children because infant airways are smaller and easier to
obstruct with secretions.
