1. Practices such as female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are categorized as:

• A. Harmful traditional practices
• B. Encouraged in rural Zambia
• C. Recommended in modern surgery and IRH
• D. Safer sex practices

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Practices like female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are considered harmful traditional practices due to the physical and psychological harm they cause. Choice A is correct as these practices are not safe or recommended. Choice B is incorrect, as harmful traditional practices are not encouraged anywhere. Choice C is incorrect as modern surgery and organizations like IRH aim to eliminate such practices, not recommend them. Choice D is incorrect as these practices are not related to safer sex practices but rather harmful practices that need to be eradicated.

2. Which of the following is NOT a phase of the menstrual cycle?

• A. Follicular phase
• B. Ovulatory phase
• C. Luteal phase
• D. Secretory phase

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The secretory phase is not considered a distinct phase of the menstrual cycle; it is actually part of the luteal phase. During the luteal phase, the endometrium thickens due to progesterone secretion, preparing for implantation. The follicular phase is characterized by follicle development, leading to ovulation. The ovulatory phase is when the mature egg is released from the ovary. Therefore, the secretory phase is the correct answer as it is not a standalone phase but a part of the luteal phase.

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. 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.

5. A solid ball of 12-16 cells having undergone mitotic division after fertilization is:

• A. Zygote
• B. Blastomere
• C. Morula
• D. Blastocyst

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A morula is a stage in embryonic development where a solid ball of 12-16 cells is formed after several rounds of mitotic division following fertilization. The zygote is the initial cell formed by the fusion of sperm and egg. Blastomere refers to individual cells in a developing embryo. A blastocyst is a later stage where a fluid-filled cavity forms within the embryo. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Morula.'
