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. Which of the following are signs and symptoms of vaginitis EXCEPT?

• A. Vaginal itching and irritation
• B. Heavy vaginal bleeding
• C. Pain during coitus
• D. Painful urination

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Vaginitis is characterized by symptoms such as vaginal itching, irritation, pain during coitus, and painful urination. However, heavy vaginal bleeding is not typically associated with vaginitis. Vaginal bleeding could be indicative of other conditions like cervical or endometrial issues, but it is not a common symptom of vaginitis.

3. Which component of reproductive health ensures the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the health care system?

• A. Safe motherhood
• B. Adolescent health and development
• C. Health service delivery
• D. Reproductive health information

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Health service delivery is the component of reproductive health that specifically focuses on ensuring the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the healthcare system. While safe motherhood and adolescent health are important aspects of reproductive health, they do not directly address the quality of health services delivery. Reproductive health information, although crucial, is not the component responsible for ensuring the quality of services provided.

4. The products of conception are retained in which of the following?

• A. Complete abortions
• B. Incomplete abortions
• C. Threatened abortion
• D. Mixed abortion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In incomplete abortions, the products of conception are retained. In a complete abortion, all the products of conception are expelled from the uterus. Threatened abortion refers to a situation where there is vaginal bleeding but the cervix remains closed, and it does not necessarily involve retention of products of conception. Mixed abortion is not a recognized medical term related to retained products of conception.

5. What is Carboprost used for?

• A. Affects milk production.
• B. Relieve constriction ring.
• C. Management of post-partum haemorrhage.
• D. Induce labor.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Carboprost is used in the management of post-partum haemorrhage. This medication helps to reduce excessive bleeding after childbirth. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Carboprost does not affect milk production, relieve constriction ring, or induce labor.
