A pregnant patient asks, What's the difference between the true pelvis and the false pelvis? The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. The true pelvis doesn't affect fetal passage during labor and childbirth.
  2. The false pelvis consists of the inlet, the pelvic cavity, and the outlet.
  3. The true pelvis helps direct the presenting fetal part into the false pelvis.
  4. The false pelvis helps support the weight of the pregnant uterus.

Question 2

The clinic nurse is caring for a young woman seeking contraception because she has recently married and become sexually active. The teen states, The opening of my husband's penis isn't at the tip; it's around the corner below the tip.
 
  He tells me that he was born that way. Will that cause problems if we want to have children? What is the best response for the nurse to give? This variation is called:
  1. Epispadias. It is not likely to impact his fertility.
  2. Epispadias. It will likely cause him to be infertile.
  3. Hypospadias. It is not likely to impact his fertility.
  4. Hypospadias. It will likely cause him to be infertile.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The size and shape of the true pelvis must be adequate for normal fetal passage during labor and childbirth.
Rationale 2: The true pelvis consists of the inlet, the pelvic cavity, and the outlet.
Rationale 3: The false pelvis helps direct the presenting fetal part into the true pelvis.
Rationale 4: The false pelvis helps support the weight of the pregnant uterus.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Epispadias is the condition where the urethral opening is on the upper aspect of the penis. The patient is describing hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 2: Epispadias is the condition where the urethral opening is on the upper aspect of the penis. The patient is describing hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 3: The patient is describing hypospadias, which is the urethral opening on the lower aspect of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 4: The patient is describing hypospadias, where the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, where the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
