1. What is the primary use of Bromocriptine?

• A. Relieve constriction ring.
• B. Manage post-partum hemorrhage.
• C. Affect milk production.
• D. Be used in pre-eclampsia.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Bromocriptine is primarily used to affect milk production. It is a medication commonly prescribed to help suppress lactation, particularly in cases of postpartum breast engorgement or when stopping breastfeeding. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as Bromocriptine is not indicated for relieving constriction ring, managing post-partum hemorrhage, or treating pre-eclampsia.

2. In order to provide services effectively and in the best interests of the whole family:

• A. The wife's relatives need to be contacted
• B. It's important to seek the services of a traditional healer
• C. Health providers need to be aware of the roles and decision-making process within the family
• D. Health providers need to conduct door-to-door sensitization on health matters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Health providers need to be aware of the roles and decision-making process within the family.' To provide services effectively, health providers must understand the dynamics within a family, including who makes decisions and how roles are distributed. This knowledge helps them tailor their services to meet the needs and preferences of the whole family. Choices A and B are incorrect because contacting the wife's relatives or seeking the services of a traditional healer may not necessarily align with providing effective services based on family dynamics. Choice D is also incorrect as door-to-door sensitization may not directly address the internal dynamics of a family.

3. Which statement accurately describes the female pelvis?

• A. Gynaecoid pelvis has a wedge-shaped inlet
• B. Platypelloid pelvis has an oval inlet
• C. Anthropoid pelvis has a long narrow oval inlet
• D. Android pelvis is wedge-shaped

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the Platypelloid pelvis indeed has an oval inlet. Gynaecoid pelvis, not mentioned in the choices, has a round inlet. Anthropoid pelvis has a long, narrow oval inlet, which makes choice C incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as the Android pelvis is actually heart-shaped with a narrowed inlet.

4. Oligomenorrhea is defined as a cycle longer than:

• A. 28 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 35 days
• D. 40 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Oligomenorrhea is defined as a menstrual cycle longer than 35 days. A cycle of 28 days (Choice A) is within the normal range, and not considered oligomenorrhea. Similarly, 30 days (Choice B) and 40 days (Choice D) are also within the normal range. The correct definition of oligomenorrhea specifically refers to cycles longer than 35 days, making Choice C the correct answer.

5. Which animal is an ovoviviparous animal?

• A. Basking shark
• B. Bonobo
• C. Blue shark
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the Blue shark. Ovoviviparous animals produce eggs that develop inside the body of the parent, and the offspring are born alive. The basking shark does not fall under this category as it is ovoviviparous, meaning it lays eggs that hatch inside the female's body. The bonobo is a separate species and not relevant to the question.
