Practice Question
The nurse is educating a client about estrogen and progesterone. Where does the nurse note these hormones are produced?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Ovaries
Rationale:
💠 The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, the primary female reproductive hormones.
💠 These hormones regulate menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy.
💠 Ovarian hormone production supports bone health, metabolism, and secondary sex characteristics.
💠 This is the major endocrine function of the ovaries throughout reproductive years.
💠 After menopause, ovarian hormone levels drop, leading to hormonal symptoms.
Thyroid
💠 The thyroid produces T3 and T4, not reproductive hormones.
💠 Unrelated to estrogen or progesterone.
Adrenal gland
💠 Adrenals produce cortisol, aldosterone, and small amounts of androgens.
💠 Not the primary source of estrogen or progesterone.
Testes
💠 Testes produce testosterone, not female reproductive hormones.
💠 Not involved in estrogen/progesterone production.
