1. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is best for:

• A. Clients who do not wish to have any more children
• B. Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum
• C. Clients who want to wait before having a first or another child
• D. Clients with several sexual partners

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is a highly effective temporary family planning method that is recommended for women who have recently given birth and are breastfeeding. LAM works best when the baby is less than 6 months old, the mother is exclusively breastfeeding, and her menstrual periods have not resumed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because LAM is specifically designed for postpartum women with infants less than 6 months old, focusing on the lactational infertility that occurs during exclusive breastfeeding.

2. 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.

3. Which animal is an ovoviviparous animal?

• A. Basking shark
• B. Bonobo
• C. Blue shark
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the Blue shark. Ovoviviparous animals produce eggs that develop inside the body of the parent, and the offspring are born alive. The basking shark does not fall under this category as it is ovoviviparous, meaning it lays eggs that hatch inside the female's body. The bonobo is a separate species and not relevant to the question.

4. In missed abortion, what will the woman often experience?

• A. Severe cramping and lower abdominal pains
• B. Brownish vaginal discharge
• C. Profuse per vagina bleeding
• D. Open cervical OS

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In missed abortion, the woman often experiences brownish vaginal discharge. This is known as a symptom of missed abortion. Severe cramping and lower abdominal pains (Choice A) are more characteristic of an incomplete abortion, where not all pregnancy tissue is expelled. Profuse per vagina bleeding (Choice C) is more commonly associated with a complete abortion. Open cervical OS (Choice D) is a physical finding and not a typical symptom reported by the woman in missed abortion.

5. 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.
