1. How can menopause affect health?

• A. Causing conjunctivitis
• B. Leading to colitis or bowel upsets
• C. Increasing the risk of cancer
• D. Triggering urinary infections

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Menopause can lead to changes in the urinary tract, such as decreased estrogen levels, which can increase the likelihood of urinary tract infections. While menopause can impact various aspects of health, including bone density and heart health, it is not directly linked to conjunctivitis, colitis, or an increased risk of cancer. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

2. The letter 'T' in the Acronym 'GATHER' denotes:

• A. Ask the client about themselves - particular needs, obstetric and medical history
• B. Tell the client about modern FP methods available, and discuss each in detail
• C. Help the client choose a method and repeat information regarding the chosen method if necessary
• D. Explain how to use the method - what, where, when, and how

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Tell the client about modern FP methods available, and discuss each in detail.' In the GATHER acronym, 'T' stands for providing information about modern family planning methods to the client and having a detailed discussion. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the 'T' component in the GATHER approach. Choice A focuses more on gathering information from the client, choice C is about helping the client choose a method, and choice D is about explaining how to use the method, none of which align with the 'T' in GATHER.

3. What is the reasonable available distance from all patients to offer Primary Health Care (PHC) services?

• A. Within a 20 Km radius
• B. Within a 15 Km radius
• C. Within a 12 Km radius
• D. Within a 10 Km radius

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is within a 20 Km radius. Primary Health Care services should be accessible within a 20 Km radius to ensure adequate coverage for all patients. This distance allows for a reasonable reach while ensuring that individuals can access essential healthcare services in a timely manner. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they offer distances that may limit accessibility and coverage, potentially leaving some patients without timely access to necessary healthcare.

4. The patient about to undergo gynecological surgery is put on nil by mouth for ____ before surgery to prevent aspiration.

• A. 2-4 hours
• B. 3-5 hours
• C. 4-6 hours
• D. 5-7 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Patients undergoing gynecological surgery are typically advised to be nil by mouth for 4-6 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of aspiration. This duration allows the stomach to empty its contents, decreasing the likelihood of regurgitation and aspiration of stomach contents during surgery. Choices A, B, and D have shorter durations and may not provide sufficient time for adequate gastric emptying, increasing the risk of aspiration.

5. Which of the following are examples of external genitalia?

• A. Mons veneris
• B. Labia majora
• C. Vagina
• D. Cervix

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mons veneris. The mons veneris and labia majora are considered external genitalia as they are visible externally. The vagina and cervix, on the other hand, are internal structures. The vagina is the canal leading from the external genitals to the cervix, which is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus.
