A nurse teaches newly pregnant clients that if an ovum is fertilized and implants in the endometrium, the hormone the fertilized egg begins to secrete is:
1. Estrogen.
2. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
3. Progesterone.
4. Luteinizing.
2
Rationale:
1. Estrogen and progesterone are ovarian hormones.
2. When the ovum is fertilized, and implants in the endometrium, the fertilized egg begins to secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone to maintain the corpus luteum.
3. Estrogen and progesterone are ovarian hormones.
4. Luteinizing hormone is excreted by the anterior pituitary.
