1. Outlet of the true pelvis anteriorly bounded by:

• A. Ischiopubic arch (T)
• B. Linea terminalis (F)
• C. Coccyx (T)
• D. Promontory of the sacrum (F)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ischiopubic arch. The outlet of the true pelvis is indeed anteriorly bounded by the ischiopubic arch, which consists of the ischium and the pubic bones. This structure forms the lower boundary of the pelvic outlet. The other choices, B, C, and D, are incorrect. The linea terminalis (pelvic brim) forms the upper boundary of the true pelvis, the coccyx is part of the bony pelvis but does not bound the pelvic outlet anteriorly, and the promontory of the sacrum is located in the posterior part of the pelvis, not the anterior boundary of the pelvic outlet.

2. In the past, when was a woman only allowed to access Family planning methods?

• A. when she was married
• B. when she had more than four children
• C. when she produced a letter of consent from the husband
• D. when the doctors recommended

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the past, women were often required to produce a letter of consent from their husband to access family planning services. This requirement stemmed from traditional beliefs and societal norms that placed men in control of such decisions. Choice A is incorrect because marital status alone did not determine access to family planning. Choice B is incorrect because the number of children a woman had did not dictate her access to family planning. Choice D is incorrect because medical recommendations alone did not influence a woman's access to family planning services in the past.

3. Laparoscopy uses a small instrument known as a laparoscope to:

• A. Take very detailed photographs
• B. Insert a hysteroscope for D&C
• C. Perform an abortion procedure
• D. Perform a hysterectomy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Laparoscopy uses a small instrument known as a laparoscope to take very detailed photographs of the pelvic organs. This procedure is commonly used for diagnostic purposes, to visualize internal organs, and to perform minimally invasive surgeries. Choice B, inserting a hysteroscope for D&C, is incorrect as hysteroscopy is a different procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus, not the pelvic organs. Choice C, performing an abortion procedure, is incorrect as laparoscopy is not used for abortion. Choice D, performing a hysterectomy, is incorrect as although laparoscopy can be used in some cases for hysterectomy, its primary purpose is not for this procedure.

4. What is amniocentesis used to detect?

• A. Sexually transmitted diseases
• B. Presence of certain genetic disorders
• C. Causes of infertility
• D. Presence of pneumonia germs

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Amniocentesis is a prenatal test used to detect certain genetic disorders in a developing fetus. It involves collecting a small sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus and analyzing the genetic material present in the cells. This test is not used to detect sexually transmitted diseases, causes of infertility, or the presence of pneumonia germs. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

5. 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.
