Best NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The client asks the nurse how a woman can recognize when she is ovulating. Which should be the nurse's response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A. At the time of ovulation, the mucus produced by the cervix becomes more abundant and stretchy. It looks and feels like egg whites. The ability of the mucus to be stretched indicates the time of maximum fertility. B. At the time of ovulation, the basal body temperature drops slightly and then, under the influence of progesterone, increases and stays elevated until 2 to 4 days before menstruation starts. C. Home measurement of luteinizing hormone (LH) is possible with dipstick urine tests. A positive test (not negative) for LH indicates ovulation. LH causes the egg to be released from the ovary. D. At the time of ovulation, most females note an increase (not decrease) in libido.
