1. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) affects the fallopian tubes resulting in a condition called:

• A. Oophoritis
• B. Endometritis
• C. Salpingectomy
• D. Salpingitis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is known to affect the fallopian tubes, leading to inflammation, which is termed as salpingitis. Choice A, Oophoritis, refers to inflammation of the ovaries, not the fallopian tubes. Choice B, Endometritis, is inflammation of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes. Choice C, Salpingectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove a fallopian tube and is not a condition caused by PID.

2. Complete abortion is characterized by:

• A. Os closed.
• B. Firm contracted uterus.
• C. Heavy bleeding.
• D. Heavy cramping.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Complete abortion is characterized by a firm contracted uterus with a closed os. This closure of the os indicates that the products of conception have been completely expelled from the uterus. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a firm contracted uterus with a closed os is the hallmark sign of a complete abortion, not heavy bleeding, heavy cramping, or any other features.

3. Expanded access to family planning through non-public delivery systems is facilitated by all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. By using the private sector and social marketing
• B. Community-based programs
• C. Information, Education, and Communication
• D. Key persons in the community

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Expanded access to family planning through non-public delivery systems involves utilizing various strategies to reach more people. Options A, B, and C are all effective methods for expanding access to family planning services. The involvement of key persons in the community is not a typical approach for non-public delivery systems. Key persons in the community may have influence but may not be directly involved in the delivery of family planning services, making option D the correct answer.

4. Which of the following is a symptom of menopause?

• A. Bleeding per vagina
• B. Sleeping all the time
• C. Insomnia
• D. Increased concentration

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Insomnia is a common symptom of menopause. During menopause, hormonal changes can lead to sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Choice A, 'Bleeding per vagina,' is not a typical symptom of menopause but should prompt further evaluation. Choice B, 'Sleeping all the time,' is not a common symptom of menopause; in fact, insomnia, rather than excessive sleep, is more prevalent. Choice D, 'Increased concentration,' is not a symptom of menopause; cognitive changes like forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating may occur, but increased concentration is not a typical manifestation.

5. Which of the following is subsidiary uterine support?

• A. Suspensory ligament
• B. Cardinal ligament
• C. Transcervical ligament
• D. Maklouf ligament

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cardinal ligament. The cardinal ligament is a primary uterine support structure that helps to anchor the uterus in place. The suspensory ligament also provides support for the uterus but is not considered a subsidiary uterine support. The transcervical ligament does not exist in anatomical terminology. The Maklouf ligament is a fictitious term and not recognized as a subsidiary uterine support structure.
