1.1 Women’s Health Examination and Women’s Health Care Manage-
ment
1. Elevating the head of the examining table approximately 30 degrees facilitates:
a. The observation of the patient’s responses
b. The ability of the patient to comfortably look around to distract her from the
examination
c. The contraction of the abdominal wall muscle groups, making the examination
easier
d. Comfortable blood pressure measurement
e. The physician not being distracted by eye contact with the patient
Answer: d. Comfortable blood pressure measurement
Explanation: Elevating the head of the examining table to about 30 degrees allows
the patient to be in a semi-upright position, which is optimal for accurate blood
pressure measurement. This position minimizes discomfort and ensures the arm is
at heart level, reducing measurement errors.
2. What is the primary purpose of the initial women’s health examination?
a. To establish a baseline for future comparisons
b. To diagnose acute conditions
c. To prescribe contraception
d. To perform surgical evaluations
e. To assess mental health only
Answer: a. To establish a baseline for future comparisons
Explanation: The initial women’s health examination is designed to gather com-
prehensive baseline data, including medical, gynecologic, and social history, as well
as physical findings. This baseline allows for monitoring changes over time and
tailoring preventive care.
3. Which component is essential in a comprehensive women’s health history?
a. Dietary preferences
b. Menstrual history
c. Favorite hobbies
d. Exercise routine
e. Travel history
Answer: b. Menstrual history
Explanation: Menstrual history, including cycle regularity, duration, and symp-
