Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A The presence of ovaries does not guarantee normal female development. The ovaries produce estrogen, progesterone, and androgen.
B Ovulation is the release of a mature ovum from the ovary; the ovaries are not responsible for internal pelvic support.
C Sexual response is a feedback mechanism involving the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, and the ovaries. Ovulation does occur in the ovaries.
D The two functions of the ovaries are ovulation and hormone production.

Answer to Question 2

B
Consuming a full meal like dinner just prior to labor may increase the client's risk of vomiting and possible aspiration, as the uterus rises up against the stomach during contractions. Heartburn is a normal discomfort of pregnancy and is not cause for alarm. The health care provider should be aware that the client was treated for bacterial vaginosis, but it is not the priority at this time. While the fact that the client's blood pressure usually runs on the low side is important, it is not the priority at this time.
