OMSB_OEN Exam - Topic 4 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for OMSB's OMSB_OEN exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 4

A woman attends the health center with complaints of sudden, severe and sharp pain in the lower abdomen and an absence of menses for 8 weeks. The ultrasound reveals ectopic pregnancy.

When interviewing the woman, which of the following will the nurse ask about as risk factor of ectopic pregnancy?

AOral contraceptive usage

BFrequency of sexual activity

CHistory of chlamydial infection

DHistory of urinary tract infection

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A history of chlamydial infection is a significant risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Chlamydia can cause scarring and damage to the fallopian tubes, increasing the likelihood of a fertilized egg implanting outside the uterus. Oral contraceptive usage generally reduces the risk of ectopic pregnancy. The frequency of sexual activity and history of urinary tract infections are not directly related to the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Identifying and understanding these risk factors is essential for appropriate management and prevention strategies.

Isn't it more about the fallopian tubes than sexual history?

I thought UTIs had nothing to do with ectopic pregnancies?

Chlamydia is a big risk factor for ectopic pregnancy!

I thought urinary tract infections were more related to bladder issues, not ectopic pregnancies. I’m leaning towards chlamydial infection as the key risk factor here.

I practiced a similar question about risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, and I think chlamydia was mentioned as a significant risk.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like oral contraceptive usage could be a factor too. I need to double-check that.

I remember reading that a history of chlamydial infection can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy, so I think that might be the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a little stuck on this one. I know ectopic pregnancy is a serious issue, but I'm not totally sure about all the risk factors. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the options. Maybe I can eliminate a few and then make an educated guess.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Ectopic pregnancy is a common complication, and the key risk factors are things like prior pelvic inflammatory disease, which is often caused by chlamydia. So I'm going to go with C, history of chlamydial infection.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, and the options include things like oral contraceptive usage, sexual activity, and infection history. I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C, history of chlamydial infection, since that can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

This question seems pretty straightforward. The key is to identify the risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, and I think the answer is likely C - history of chlamydial infection.

This looks like a straightforward question about the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I'll carefully review the options and think through what's valid in that configuration file.

Okay, I've got this! The elements the project manager is dividing the project scope into are called "work packages." That's the key term we learned for the smallest manageable units of a project. I'm feeling good about selecting that answer.

I think frequency of sexual activity could also be a risk factor, as it can increase the chances of infection.

B) Frequency of sexual activity? I'm not sure how that's relevant to the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Maybe the nurse needs to brush up on their medical knowledge.
