Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 4
The patient who has had a hysterectomy still will need to have gynecological examinations. The woman should be instructed about the manifestations of infection, including fever, which should be reported to the surgeon. Vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy can last up to 4 weeks. The patient who has a hysterectomy with the loss of the ovaries will immediately begin surgical menopause. The loss of estrogen is immediate. It will take time for hormone replacement therapy to begin to manage the clinical manifestations associated with menopause. The recovery period before resuming regular activities is in part based on the type of surgery (vaginal, laparoscopic, or abdominal). There is not enough information in the question to assess this statement.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 1, 4, 2
The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. These phases always occur in the same sequence; however, the duration of each phase may vary. Sexual arousal typically ends in orgasm (climax), but sometimes fails to do so. A refractory period in which the sexual organs are incapable of responding to stimulus does not occur in the female. Multiple orgasms are physically possible in all women.
