made to enlarge the perineal opening for a vaginal birth. What is this incision
called?
A. colposcopy
B. Episiotomy
C. Ligation
D. Septal myotomy

CH. 5 - A pregnant woman has been advised that she has a platypelloid pelvis
type. What action by the perinatal nurse is best?
A. Advise the woman that she may need a cesarean delivery.
B. Educate the woman that a posterior fetal presentation is possible.
C. Instruct the woman on specific back strengthening exercises.
D. Reassure the woman that a trial of labor will still be allowed.

A. The appearance of breast buds
B. The appearance of secondary sex characteristics
C. The first menstrual period
D. The growth of pubic hair
A
CH. 5 - An adolescent in the pediatric clinic states that her vaginal secretions
sometimes seem more thin, watery, and stretchable than usual. What response
from the nurse is best?
A. advise the patient that this is related to her periods
B. Educate the patient that she is fertile when this occurs.
C. Instruct the patient to douche after her periods.

A. "A little incontinence is normal at your age."
B. "Clonidine (Catapres) is a new treatment for this."
C. "This is probably related to decreased estrogen."
D. "We need to start you on estrogen therapy."
C
5. The perinatal nurse reads in a chart that a woman has a lesion on her
perineum. Where would the nurse assess this lesion?
A. Greater vestibular or vulvovaginal glands
B. Skin-covered region between the vagina and the anus
C. Small portion of tissue around the anus
D. Small portion of tissue surrounding the vaginal opening
ANS: B
The perineum, an anatomical landmark, is the skin-covered region between the vagina
and the anus.
5. The perinatal nurse knows that the lowest portion of the true pelvis is which of
the following anatomical landmarks ?
A. Pelvic outlet
B. Linea terminalis
C. Sacral promontory
D. Sacrum
, ANS: A
Inferiorly, the lowest portion of the true pelvis is termed the pelvic outlet. Superiorly, the
true pelvis is bounded by the sacral promontory (anterior projecting portion of the base
of the sacrum) and the sacral alae (broad bilateral projections from the base of the
sacrum), the linea terminalis, and the upper margins of the pubic bones. The "false
pelvis" and the "true pelvis" are divided by the linea terminalis, or pelvic brim
5. The clinic nurse knows that the part of the uterine cycle that occurs during the
period of time between ovulation and the onset of menses is known as which of
the following?
A. Ischemic phase
B. Menstrual phase
C. Proliferative phase
D. Secretory phase
ANS: D
The secretory phase occurs from the time of ovulation to the period just prior to menses,
or approximately days 15 to 26. The menstrual phase is the time of vaginal bleeding,
approximately days 1 to 6. The proliferative phase is the end of menses through
ovulation, approximately days 7 to 14. The ischemic phase occurs from the end of the
secretory phase to the onset of menstruation, approximately days 27 to 28.
5. The perinatal nurse explains to the new nurse that the maternal pelvic shape
can determine the fetal presentation. A fetus in a transverse presentation may be
due to which maternal pelvic type?
A. Android
B. Anthropoid
C. Gynecoid
D. Platypelloid
ANS: D
The gynecoid pelvic type is the typical, traditional female pelvis (present in 50% of
women) that is best suited for childbirth. Fetal descent through a platypelloid pelvis is
usually in a transverse presentation and will not allow for a vaginal birth. Fetal descent
through an anthropoid pelvis is more likely to be in a posterior (facing the woman's front)
rather than anterior (facing the woman's back) presentation. The android pelvis
resembles a typical male pelvis, and this pelvic shape can also cause difficulty during
fetal descent.
5. The clinic nurse explains to a student that the hormone responsible for limiting
the maternal immune response to pregnancy is which of the following?
A. Human chorionic gonadotropin
B. Progesterone
C. Prostaglandin
D. Relaxin
ANS: A
Human chorionic gonadotropin may play a role in limiting the maternal immune
response to the pregnancy. Prostaglandins modulate hormonal activity and have an
effect on ovulation, fertility, and cervical mucus viscosity. Relaxin aids in the softening
and lengthening of the uterine cervix and works on the myometrial smooth muscle to
promote uterine relaxation.
