Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. What prompted Zambia to implement family planning services?

• A. The nation started to experience the effects of rapid population growth on the economy and individual welfare.
• B. Donors provided free family planning pills.
• C. Mothers were delivering twice a year.
• D. There were too many abortions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Rapid population growth's impact on the economy and individual welfare prompted Zambia to implement family planning services. This is because a rapidly growing population can strain resources, lead to unemployment, poverty, and inadequate access to healthcare. Choice B is incorrect because the provision of free family planning pills by donors may have been a subsequent intervention rather than the initial reason for implementing family planning services. Choice C is irrelevant as the frequency of deliveries by mothers does not directly relate to the implementation of family planning services. Choice D is also incorrect as high abortion rates may be a consequence of inadequate family planning services rather than the reason for their implementation.

3. What type of tissue lines the testes?

• A. Glandular tissue.
• B. Squamous epithelium.
• C. Transitional epithelium.
• D. Stratified epithelium.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Glandular tissue. The testes are lined with seminiferous tubules, which contain germ cells and Sertoli cells that are involved in sperm production. These cells are part of the glandular tissue that makes up the testes. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because squamous, transitional, and stratified epithelium are not typically found lining the testes. Squamous epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue found in areas like the skin, transitional epithelium lines organs like the bladder, and stratified epithelium is present in structures like the skin and esophagus.

4. How does the component of Adolescent health and development empower adolescents/youths?

• A. By equipping them with life skills
• B. By involving them in providing health education
• C. By encouraging them to become peer educators
• D. By providing them with loans to start businesses

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: By equipping them with life skills. Life skills empower adolescents and youths to make informed decisions and take control of their health. Providing health education (choice B) and encouraging them to become peer educators (choice C) are beneficial but may not directly empower them as much as acquiring life skills. Giving loans to start businesses (choice D) is not directly related to empowering adolescents in the context of health and development.

5. Which of the following investigations is done in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

• A. Paracentesis
• B. Culdocentesis
• C. Hysterectomy
• D. Douching

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Culdocentesis is the correct procedure performed to assess the pelvic cavity, often used in the diagnosis of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Paracentesis involves the aspiration of fluid from the abdominal cavity, not typically done for PID. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and is not a diagnostic investigation for PID. Douching is a hygiene practice and not a diagnostic procedure for PID.
