Question

A client asks the nurse about cervical mucus changes that occur during the menstrual cycle. Which statement should the nurse expect to include in the client’s teaching plan?

Answer 1

Answer:

As ovulation approaches, cervical mucus is abundant and stretchable.

Explanation:

Cervical mucus consists of a mucus produced by the cervix, also known as the cervix. Its function is to prevent the penetration of bacterial flora into the uterus, keeping it healthy. In addition, during a woman's fertile days, cervical mucus becomes thinner and more watery, and more abundant, facilitating the passage of sperm to the uterus. If a woman does not synthesize cervical mucus, or even produces it in small quantities, sperm cannot fertilize the egg. In this case, we can conclude that the statement that the nurse should include in the client's teaching plan, set out in the question, is "the ovulation approaches, cervical mucus is abundant and stretchable."
