Accepted Answer

Hysterosalpingography is a diagnostic imaging test that can assess the patency or blockage of the uterine tubes by injecting dye into the uterus and monitoring its flow through the tubes with X-ray or ultrasound. Pelvic ultrasound, pelvimetry, and biparietal diameter are not used to assess tubal patency.

Question 4

Which is a surgical incision into the posterior edge of the vagina to prevent the tissue from tearing during delivery of the baby?

Accepted Answer

An episiotomy is a surgical incision made at the posterior edge of the vagina to enlarge the vaginal opening to prevent the tissue from tearing during delivery of the baby.

Cryosurgery would be an option to remove ________ lesions after these lesions are identified on colposcopy.

Accepted Answer

Cryosurgery is a treatment that involves freezing tissue to remove abnormal cells. It is often used to remove precancerous or cancerous cervical lesions that are identified on colposcopy. It is not a treatment option for uterine, ovarian, or uterine tube lesions.

Question 11

Question 15

Which gene is a risk factor for a type of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

BRCA1 is a known genetic risk factor for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. People who inherit mutations in this gene have a higher risk of developing these cancers compared to the general population.

Question 18

The substance surfactant is present in the fetus from the seventh month of gestation and beyond.When the surfactant has not yet reached a normal level, the newborn has problems:

Accepted Answer

Surfactant is a substance that helps to lubricate the lungs and aids in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. When the surfactant level is not normal, the newborn may experience respiratory distress syndrome, which can cause difficulty breathing and inadequate oxygen supply to the body. Therefore, the correct answer is D) breathing.

Question 19

A pregnant woman with ________ is more likely to carry a fetus that is large for its gestational age.

Accepted Answer

Diabetes mellitus can cause the fetus to receive an excess supply of glucose leading to increased growth and macrosomia (large for gestational age).
