Answer:
4. Cystocele
Explanation:
A Cystocele which is also referred to as prolapsed or dropped bladder, occurs when the bladder moves from its original position and bulges into the anterior vaginal wall.
This happens when the muscles and supportive tissues between a woman’s vagina and bladder weaken and stretch. This might be as a result of constipation, lighting of heavy weight, continuous straining during bowel movements, or obesity. It can also occur after vaginal childbirth.
Based on the data reviewed by the nurse in the client's medical record, with the nontender protrusion into the anterior vaginal wall being noted, the nurse should suspect Cystocele.
Answer:
The correct answer is: A) reticular dermis.
Explanation:
The dermis is one of the three layers of the skin, and is divided into two layers as well: papillary dermis and reticular dermis.
The papillary dermis has characteristic fingerlike projections called dermal papillae, which extend towards the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). These papillae contain blood vessels that nourish the hair follicles and the cells in the lower layers of the epidermis.
The reticular dermis, on the other hand, has no papillae, but instead has a dense irregular connective tissue filled with collagen and elastic fibers. In this region of the dermis is where sudoriferous glands, sebaceous glands, sensory nerve endings, arrector pili muscles, and blood vessels can be found.
