B. movement of sperm from the testes and fluid into the urethras. C. dilation of the penile arteries with increased blood flow to the tissues. D. body's return to the physiologic nonstimulated state. Correct answer: B Reason: Emi ss ion refer s to the movement of s perm from the te a s b t i e r b s . c a o n m d /t e f s l t uid s from the accessory glands into the urethra, where it is mixed to form semen. As the urethra fills with semen, the base of the erect penis contracts, thus increases pressure. This pressure forces the semen through the urethra to the outside (ejaculation). Dilation of the penile arteries with increa s ed blood flo w de s cribe s erection. The body 's return to the a p b h ir b y . c s o i m o l / t o e s g t ic non s timulated s tate describes resolution. #QSN Format:Multiple Choice #CHP 3: Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive System Cognitive Level: Analyze Client Needs: Health Promotion and MaintenanceREF: Page.109 15. A NR is describing the structure and function of the reproductive system to an adolescent health class. How would the NR describe the secretion of the seminal vesicles? A. mucus-like B. alkaline C. acidic D. semen Correct answer: B Reason: The paired seminal vesicles secrete an alkaline fluid t h a b a i t r b c . c o o n m t / a t e i s n t s fructose and prostaglandins. The fructose supplies energy to the sperm on its journey to meet the ovum, and the prostaglandins assist in sperm mobility. The Cowper's glands secrete a mucus-like fluid. The vagina is an acidic environment. Semen refers to the sperm-containing fluid. #QSN Format:Multiple Choice #CHP 3: Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive System Cognitive Level: Apply Client Needs: Health Promotion and MaintenanceREF: Page.108 16. A NR is completing a continuing education program about the male and female reproductive organ s . After review ing the information, the NR d a e b i m r b . o c o n m s t / t r e a s t t es under s tanding of the information by identifying which structures as male accessory organs? Select all that apply. A. testes B. vas deferens C. bulbourethral glands D. prostate gland E. penis

Correct answer: B, C, D Reason: The organs of the male reproductive system include the two testes (where sperm cells and te s to s terone are made), the peni s , the s crotum, and the acce s s a o b i r r b y . c o o m r g / t a e s n t s (epididymi s , va s deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct, urethra, bulbourethral glands, and prostate gland). #QSN Format:Multiple Select #CHP 3: Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive System Cognitive Level: Analyze Client Needs: Health Promotion and MaintenanceREF: Page.108 17. A woman is diagnosed with a vaginal infection. After teaching the client about measures to reduce her risk, the NR determines that the client needs additional teaching when she states which factor as increasing her risk? A. antibiotic therapy B. menstruation C. douching D. use of feminine hygiene sprays Correct answer: B Reason: The vagina has an acidic environment, which protects it against ascending infections. Antibiotic therapy, douching, perineal hygiene sprays, and deodorants upset the acid balance within the vaginal environment and can predispose women to infections. Menstruation is not considered a risk factor. #QSN Format:Multiple Choice #CHP 3: Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive System Cognitive Level: Analyze Client Needs: Health Promotion and MaintenanceREF: Page.97-98 18. A NR is de s cribing the hormone s involved in the men s trual a b c i r y b c . c l o e m t / o te s a t group of young grown ups women who are planning to get pregnant. The NR determines the teaching was successful when the group identifies the follicle-stimulating hormone as being secreted by the: A. hypothalamus. B. anterior pituitary gland. C. ovaries. D. corpus lute. Correct answer: B Reason: F ollicle- s timulating hormone and luteinizing hormone a b a i r r b e . c s o e m c / t r e e s t ted by the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone. The ovaries secrete estrogen. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone. #QSN Format:Multiple Choice #CHP 3: Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive System
