Reproductive Health Exam

1. Which of the following is included in a gynecological examination?

A. Abdominal examination
B. General and systemic examination
C. Obstetric exam
D. Pelvic examination

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Correct! A gynecological examination typically includes an abdominal examination to assess the overall health of the patient. This includes checking for any abnormalities, tenderness, or masses. General and systemic examinations are also important as they provide valuable information about the patient's overall health status. Pelvic examination is another essential component of a gynecological exam to assess the reproductive organs. Obstetric exams, focusing on pregnant women, are not part of routine gynecological examinations.

2. In 1989, the national population policy was formally launched targeting:

A. Reducing population growth
B. Making family planning services available
C. Making services accessible and affordable to all eligible users
D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the national population policy launched in 1989 aimed at reducing population growth by making family planning services available, accessible, and affordable to all eligible users. Choice A is incorrect as it does not encompass the full scope of the policy objectives. Choice B is also incomplete as it focuses solely on availability without considering accessibility and affordability. Choice C is partially correct but lacks the comprehensive approach of the national population policy.

3. Practices such as female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are categorized as:

A. Harmful traditional practices
B. Encouraged in rural Zambia
C. Recommended in modern surgery and IRH
D. Safer sex practices

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Practices like female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are considered harmful traditional practices due to the physical and psychological harm they cause. Choice A is correct as these practices are not safe or recommended. Choice B is incorrect, as harmful traditional practices are not encouraged anywhere. Choice C is incorrect as modern surgery and organizations like IRH aim to eliminate such practices, not recommend them. Choice D is incorrect as these practices are not related to safer sex practices but rather harmful practices that need to be eradicated.

4. What does Informed Consent mean?

A. A patient has the right to know what a procedure involves before it is performed.
B. Forcing all patients scheduled for surgery to sign a consent form.
C. Telling the patient to sign the consent form without explanation.
D. Allowing patients to undergo procedures without their consent.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Informed Consent means that a patient has the right to be informed about what a procedure involves before it is performed. Choice B is incorrect because consent should not be forced, and patients should have the opportunity to understand what they are agreeing to. Choice C is incorrect as it goes against the essence of informed consent, which requires explanation. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the fundamental principle of requiring patient consent before procedures.

5. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) affects the fallopian tubes resulting in a condition called:

A. Oophoritis
B. Endometritis
C. Salpingectomy
D. Salpingitis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is known to affect the fallopian tubes, leading to inflammation, which is termed as salpingitis. Choice A, Oophoritis, refers to inflammation of the ovaries, not the fallopian tubes. Choice B, Endometritis, is inflammation of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes. Choice C, Salpingectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove a fallopian tube and is not a condition caused by PID.
