1. What is Carboprost used for?

• A. Affects milk production.
• B. Relieve constriction ring.
• C. Management of post-partum haemorrhage.
• D. Induce labor.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Carboprost is used in the management of post-partum haemorrhage. This medication helps to reduce excessive bleeding after childbirth. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Carboprost does not affect milk production, relieve constriction ring, or induce labor.

2. At 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

• A. Darkening of the nipple.
• B. Prickling, tingling sensation.
• C. Breast becomes tender.
• D. Colostrum can be expressed.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: At 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, breast changes commonly involve tenderness due to hormonal fluctuations. Darkening of the nipple (Choice A) typically occurs later in pregnancy. Prickling, tingling sensations (Choice B) are more associated with early pregnancy due to increased blood flow to the breast area. Colostrum production (Choice D) usually begins later in pregnancy, closer to the end of the third trimester.

3. A solid ball of 12-16 cells having undergone mitotic division after fertilization is:

• A. Zygote
• B. Blastomere
• C. Morula
• D. Blastocyst

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A morula is a stage in embryonic development where a solid ball of 12-16 cells is formed after several rounds of mitotic division following fertilization. The zygote is the initial cell formed by the fusion of sperm and egg. Blastomere refers to individual cells in a developing embryo. A blastocyst is a later stage where a fluid-filled cavity forms within the embryo. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Morula.'

4. Which family planning method was alternatively provided by the family life movement?

• A. Use of condom
• B. Use of spermicides
• C. Use of natural family planning
• D. Use of hormonal pills

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The family life movement promoted natural family planning as an alternative method. Natural family planning involves tracking a woman's menstrual cycle to determine the fertile period, making it distinct from the other options provided. Condoms (Choice A) and spermicides (Choice B) are barrier methods, while hormonal pills (Choice D) involve the use of synthetic hormones to prevent pregnancy. Therefore, the correct answer is the use of natural family planning.

5. What is the typical measurement of the anterior wall of the vaginal canal?

• A. 10 cm
• B. 11 cm
• C. 11.5 cm
• D. 7.5 cm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The typical measurement of the anterior wall of the vaginal canal is 7.5 cm. This measurement is anatomically accurate, making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C provide measurements that are larger than the typical measurement of the anterior wall of the vaginal canal and are therefore incorrect.
