Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option B indicates that the patient understands that the first part of the ovarian cycle (follicular phase) might vary in length, but the second part (luteal phase) will be consistent in length. This shows a good understanding of the differences between the two phases. Option A is incorrect because having a period every 28 days does not indicate an understanding of the follicular and luteal phases. Option C is incorrect because it states that the follicular phase is the second half of the cycle, which is not accurate. Option D is incorrect because the follicular phase is before ovulation and fertilization, not after.
