  Standard Text: Select all that apply.
  1. gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulates the luteinizing hormone to stimulate ovulation.
  2. gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulates luteinizing hormone to produce estrogen.
  3. the presence of estrogen stops gonadotropin-releasing hormone from secreting more hormone.
  4. the presence of estrogen signals the ovaries to continue releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale 1: A hormone from the endocrine system may affect all body cells.
Rationale 2: A hormone may take several days or longer to produce an optimum response.
Rationale 3: Hormones do not work instantaneously.
Rationale 4: Hormones do not work instantaneously, and there are none that work faster.
Rationale 5: This cannot be determined until a response is achieved within the client.
Global Rationale: A hormone from the endocrine system may affect all body cells. A hormone may take several days or longer to produce an optimum response. They do not work instantaneously and there is no faster hormone. Whether the client is receiving the wrong hormone cannot be determined until a response is achieved within the client to evaluate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone does stimulate luteinizing hormone to stimulate ovulation.
Rationale 2: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone does stimulate luteinizing hormone to produce estrogen.
Rationale 3: Estrogen provides negative feedback to gonadotropin-releasing hormone to stop secreting.
Rationale 4: This is not the mechanism of ovulation.
Rationale 5: This is not the mechanism of ovulation.
Global Rationale: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone does stimulate luteinizing hormone to stimulate ovulation and to produce estrogen. Estrogen provides negative feedback to gonadotropin-releasing hormone to stop secreting. The remaining two options are not mechanism of ovulation.
