1. 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.

2. A diet rich in _______ controls menopause symptoms:

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Soya items
• C. Fruits and veggies
• D. Eggs and meat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A diet rich in soya items can help control menopause symptoms. Soya contains phytoestrogens, which are plant-based compounds that mimic the hormone estrogen in the body. These compounds may help alleviate menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Choice A, Carbohydrates, do not specifically target menopause symptoms. Choice C, Fruits and veggies, while generally healthy, do not have the same impact on menopause symptoms as soya. Choice D, Eggs and meat, do not contain phytoestrogens like soya, making them less effective in managing menopause symptoms.

3. What is one of the major issues affecting adolescents in terms of sexual and reproductive health?

• A. Limited access to contraceptives and family planning
• B. Equal representation in decision-making
• C. Decreased need for sexual education
• D. Equal opportunities for career growth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Limited access to contraceptives and family planning is indeed a major issue affecting adolescents in terms of sexual and reproductive health. This lack of access can lead to unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and limited reproductive choices. Choice B, equal representation in decision-making, although important, is not directly related to sexual and reproductive health issues faced by adolescents. Choice C, decreased need for sexual education, is incorrect as proper sexual education is crucial in promoting healthy behaviors and preventing risks. Choice D, equal opportunities for career growth, is also unrelated to the specific issues surrounding sexual and reproductive health in adolescents.

4. The surgical procedure done in Bartholin's abscess is called:

• A. Hysterectomy
• B. Oophorectomy
• C. Marsupialization
• D. Salpingectomy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Marsupialization. Marsupialization is the surgical procedure specifically performed for Bartholin's abscess. This procedure involves creating a new duct for the Bartholin's gland to prevent future abscess formation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, oophorectomy involves the removal of the ovaries, and salpingectomy involves the removal of the fallopian tubes, none of which are the appropriate procedures for treating a Bartholin's abscess.

5. What is one of the roles of the oxytocin hormone?

• A. Stimulates milk ejection.
• B. Stimulates the production of milk.
• C. Stimulates the development of lactoferrin.
• D. Stimulates the secretion of relaxin.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Stimulates milk ejection.' Oxytocin is responsible for contracting the muscles around the milk ducts, pushing milk into the nipples for breastfeeding. This process is known as milk ejection or let-down. The other choices are incorrect because oxytocin's primary function is to facilitate milk ejection rather than directly stimulating the production of milk, the development of lactoferrin, or the secretion of relaxin.
