Nursing Elites

1. What does Integrated Reproductive Health entail?

• A. Women of childbearing age
• B. Women and under-five children only
• C. Men, women, adolescents, youth, and children
• D. Pregnant women only

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Integrated Reproductive Health involves providing services that cater to a wide range of demographics, including men, women, adolescents, youth, and children. This comprehensive approach ensures that reproductive health needs are addressed across different age groups and genders. Choices A, B, and D are too restrictive and do not encompass the full scope of Integrated Reproductive Health services.

2. What does MTP stand for?

• A. Medical Termination of Parturition
• B. Mechanical Transfer of Pollen
• C. Medical Termination of Pregnancy
• D. Maternally Transmitted Pathogens

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct expansion for MTP is Medical Termination of Pregnancy. This term is commonly used in healthcare to refer to the procedure of ending a pregnancy. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the expansion of the abbreviation MTP. Choice A refers to labor induction, choice B is related to plant reproduction, and choice D deals with the transmission of pathogens from mother to offspring.

3. Which technique is used to detect HIV/AIDS?

• A. Northern blot and ELISA
• B. Immunoblot and ELISA
• C. Western blot and ELISA
• D. Southern blot and ELISA

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Western blot and ELISA. Western blot and ELISA are commonly used techniques in the detection of HIV/AIDS. Western blot is used to confirm the presence of HIV antibodies in a patient's blood after an initial positive ELISA test. Northern blotting is a technique used for RNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice A). Immunoblotting is another term for Western blotting, so Choice B is incorrect. Southern blotting is used for DNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice D).

4. Legislation allowing nursing staff to provide contraceptives has resulted in all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. More nursing staff have been trained to provide family planning services
• B. Many population and family planning organizations have emerged
• C. Enhanced implementation of population and family planning programs
• D. Male involvement in family planning services

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Male involvement in family planning services has not significantly resulted from legislation allowing nursing staff to provide contraceptives. While legislation has led to more nursing staff being trained, the emergence of population and family planning organizations, and enhanced implementation of programs, it has not directly impacted male involvement in family planning.

5. 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.
