Question 2

A parent says to a nurse, How do you know when my baby needs these screening tests the doctor just mentioned? Which response should the nurse make to the parent?

Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Feedback
Correct FSH and LH are both produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Both of
these hormones assist in the stimulation and maturation of the ovarian
follicle. Prolactin is also produced by the anterior pituitary and is required
for milk production (lactogenesis) to occur.
Incorrect GnRH is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of FSH
and LH. Oxytocin is produced by the posterior pituitary gland and is
responsible for stimulating uterine contractions during birth.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Screening tests are administered at ages when a child is most likely to develop a condition provides a definition for screening tests.
2. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Abnormal newborn screening tests require immediate follow-up.
3. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Screening tests are done to detect the possibility of problems, and are not done when a problem is suspected.
4. This provides incorrect information to the parent. Screening tests are not done at each office visit.
