1. In Primary Health care, the concept of accessibility requires that:

A. Patients should be required to accept one service in order to gain access to another type of service.
B. A referral network, including transportation, to higher-level facilities should be coupled to PHC services.
C. Patients' access to services should be contingent on social or cultural backgrounds, age, and marital status.
D. Patients' access to services should be based on one's educational status.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In Primary Health care, accessibility entails having a referral network and transportation system in place to link patients to higher-level facilities when needed. Choice A is incorrect because patients should not be required to accept one service to access another. Choice C is incorrect as access to services should not be contingent on social or cultural backgrounds, age, or marital status. Choice D is also incorrect because educational status should not determine patients' access to healthcare services.

2. Which one is not a barrier method for birth control?

A. Diaphragms
B. Cervical caps
C. Vaults
D. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). Barrier methods of birth control physically block sperm from reaching the egg. Diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults are examples of barrier methods as they create a barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the cervix. In contrast, IUDs work by altering the cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg, but they do not physically block sperm like barrier methods do.

3. Which of the following are layers of endometrium in pregnancy EXCEPT?

A. Decidua compacta
B. Decidua spongiosum
C. Decidua functionalis
D. Decidua basalis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: During pregnancy, the layers of endometrium include decidua compacta, decidua spongiosum, and decidua basalis. Decidua functionalis is the layer that sheds during menstruation and regenerates each cycle, not a layer of the endometrium during pregnancy. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Decidua compacta is the layer closest to the conceptus, decidua spongiosum is the middle layer, and decidua basalis is the layer adjacent to the myometrium.

4. The products of conception are retained in which of the following?

A. Complete abortions
B. Incomplete abortions
C. Threatened abortion
D. Mixed abortion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In incomplete abortions, the products of conception are retained. In a complete abortion, all the products of conception are expelled from the uterus. Threatened abortion refers to a situation where there is vaginal bleeding but the cervix remains closed, and it does not necessarily involve retention of products of conception. Mixed abortion is not a recognized medical term related to retained products of conception.

5. What is the inner lining of the non-pregnant uterus called?

A. Decidua
B. Myometrium
C. Endometrium
D. Sponge layer

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Endometrium. The endometrium is the inner lining of the non-pregnant uterus that undergoes cyclic changes in response to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. Choice A, Decidua, is the specialized membrane formed during pregnancy. Choice B, Myometrium, refers to the middle layer of the uterine wall composed of smooth muscle. Choice D, Sponge layer, is not a term used to describe the inner lining of the uterus.
