Premium Questions & Answers | Expert-Aligned
Introduction
This structured Week 11 Pregnancy Test Exam for 2026/2027 provides a comprehensive set of premium
questions with correct answers and rationales. It emphasizes the nursing management of pregnancy and
antepartum care, including confirming pregnancy, signs and symptoms of pregnancy, prenatal care schedule,
GTPAL, Naegele's Rule, maternal physiologic changes, prenatal screening and diagnostic testing, high-risk
pregnancy conditions (hyperemesis, GDM, preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP, placenta previa, abruptio
placentae, preterm labor, PROM, PPROM, IUGR, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, Rh incompatibility),
teratogens, and health promotion in pregnancy.

Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology
Question 1
A nursing student is reviewing the phases of the menstrual cycle. During which phase does ovulation
typically occur?
A. Follicular phase, approximately day 14
B. Luteal phase, approximately day 21
C. Menstrual phase, approximately day 1 to 5
D. Proliferative phase, approximately day 7
Rationale: Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle, which marks the end of the follicular
(proliferative) phase. The follicular phase begins on day 1 with menstruation and ends at ovulation when a mature
oocyte is released from the dominant follicle. The luteal phase follows ovulation and lasts from approximately day 15 to
day 28, during which the corpus luteum secretes progesterone to prepare the endometrium for potential implantation.
Question 2
A nurse is teaching a couple about fertilization. Approximately how many hours after ovulation does
fertilization of the ovum typically occur if sperm are present in the fallopian tube?
A. 6 to 12 hours
B. 24 to 48 hours
C. 72 to 96 hours
D. 5 to 7 days
Rationale: Fertilization typically occurs within 6 to 12 hours after ovulation if viable sperm are present in the fallopian
tube. The ovum remains viable for approximately 12 to 24 hours after release, while sperm can survive in the female
reproductive tract for up to 72 hours. After fertilization in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, the zygote begins cleavage
and takes approximately 3 to 4 days to reach the uterine cavity, where implantation occurs around day 6 to 10 post-
fertilization.
Question 3
A nurse is explaining the role of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to a newly pregnant patient. Which
statement by the patient indicates understanding of the teaching?
A. "hCG maintains the corpus luteum until the placenta is fully functional."
B. "hCG stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland."
C. "hCG is primarily responsible for myometrial relaxation during pregnancy."
