A woman is upset because of issues with infertility. While talking with the nurse practitioner, she attempts to understand how endometriosis can cause infertility. Which response, by the nurse, indicates an understanding of this condition?

"Abnormal tissue outside the pelvic cavity causes inflammation and scarring of the reproductive tract."

"Scar tissue in the pelvic region, called adhesions, are causing a stricture of the urethra."

"Retrograde menstruation caused a neoplastic condition of the ovaries."

"An untreated bacterial infection of the reproductive tract is the cause of your infertility."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Endometriosis involves the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing inflammation, scarring, and adhesions that may obstruct reproductive pathways, leading to infertility.

B. Endometriosis typically does not cause urethral strictures; adhesions affect the reproductive tract, not the urinary system.

C. While retrograde menstruation is a theory for endometriosis development, it does not directly lead to a neoplastic (cancerous) condition of the ovaries.

D. Endometriosis is not caused by an untreated bacterial infection; rather, it is a condition of abnormal endometrial tissue growth.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Increased hydrostatic pressure and twisted surface veins are characteristic of varicose veins, not DVT.

B. Venous congestion and edema may be symptoms of DVT but are not primary causes.

C. DVT commonly results from Virchow's triad: venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and injury to the vessel wall, which create an environment for clot formation in deep veins.

D. Plaque rupture, thrombus formation, and infarction are more relevant to arterial conditions, like atherosclerosis, rather than DVT.

A. low preload. B. pleural effusion. C. peripheral edema. D. pulmonary edema.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Preload is typically increased in LHF, as blood backs up in the left side of the heart.

B. Although pleural effusion can occur as a secondary complication in some cases of heart failure, it is not as directly indicative of LHF as pulmonary edema.

C. Peripheral edema is more characteristic of right heart failure, where blood backs up in the systemic circulation.

D. Pulmonary edema is a hallmark finding in left heart failure as the left ventricle fails to pump effectively, causing fluid to accumulate in the lungs due to back pressure from the left atrium into the pulmonary veins.
