1. Incomplete abortion is characterized by:

• A. Heavy bleeding.
• B. Open os.
• C. Severe cramping.
• D. Light bleeding.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Incomplete abortion is characterized by an open os, which means that the cervix is dilated, allowing for passage of tissue. This condition typically presents with heavy bleeding as parts of the products of conception are expelled. Severe cramping may also be present due to uterine contractions. Therefore, the correct characteristic of incomplete abortion is an open os (Choice B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as heavy bleeding and severe cramping are symptoms associated with incomplete abortion, but they do not specifically define it, and light bleeding is not characteristic of incomplete abortion.

2. What type of epithelium lines the fallopian tubes?

• A. Ciliated epithelium.
• B. Stratified epithelium.
• C. Columnar epithelium.
• D. Endometrium.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ciliated epithelium. The fallopian tubes are lined with ciliated epithelium, which helps to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Choice B, Stratified epithelium, is incorrect because the fallopian tubes are lined with a single layer of cells. Choice C, Columnar epithelium, is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the lining of the fallopian tubes. Choice D, Endometrium, is incorrect because the endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes.

3. What is the role of the prolactin hormone?

• A. Stimulates the development of milk-producing tissue.
• B. Stimulates milk storage.
• C. Stimulates milk production.
• D. Stimulates milk ejection.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Stimulates milk production.' Prolactin hormone is responsible for promoting the production of milk in the mammary glands. This hormone does not directly stimulate the development of milk-producing tissue (Choice A), milk storage (Choice B), or milk ejection (Choice D). While these functions are related to lactation, the primary role of prolactin is to facilitate milk production.

4. Which of the following are layers of the anterior abdominal wall?

• A. Linear albicantes
• B. Superficial fascia
• C. Visceral peritoneum
• D. Fascia transversalis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Linear albicantes and B: Superficial fascia. Linear albicantes are stretch marks, and the superficial fascia is one of the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. Choices C and D, Visceral peritoneum and Fascia transversalis, respectively, are not layers of the anterior abdominal wall. The visceral peritoneum is a membrane covering the abdominal organs, and the fascia transversalis is a layer deep to the transversus abdominis muscle.

5. Which department of the Government ministries was given the mandate to pilot a draft population policy?

• A. The department of planning and development
• B. National census
• C. Human rights
• D. Central statistics

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The department of planning and development. In the extract provided, it explicitly mentions that this department was tasked with piloting the population policy. The other choices are incorrect because the National census is primarily responsible for collecting demographic data, Human rights focus on ensuring and protecting human rights, and Central statistics deal with statistical data collection and analysis, none of which directly align with piloting a population policy.
