Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Oogenesis begins in the ovaries and is regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). For each primary oocyte that undergoes meiosis, only one functional egg is produced; the other cells (termed polar bodies) deteriorate. The graafian follicle is a mature ovarian follicle and does not secrete prolactin. Oogenesis occurs in utero.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because the clitoris often resembles the urinary meatus, nurses sometimes try to insert a catheter in it instead of the real meatus. Leaving the incorrectly placed catheter while attempting another insertion shows the nurse where not to insert it. The patient should be in a low semi-Fowler's or supine position with the legs abducted (or frog-legged). To maintain infection control, never use a catheter for more than one catheterization attempt.
