Reproductive System Exam Questions

1. What are the Carunculae Myrtiformes?

A. Tissues between the vagina and the perineum
B. A component of the clitoral prepuce
C. The remnants of the torn hymen
D. Structures that partially close the vaginal introitus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Carunculae Myrtiformes are the remnants of the torn hymen. They are not tissues between the vagina and the perineum (Choice A), a part of the clitoral prepuce (Choice B), or structures that partially close the vaginal introitus (Choice D). Understanding the anatomy of the female reproductive system is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide accurate care and information.

2. When does threatened abortion occur?

A. The patient experiences slight vaginal bleeding through an undilated cervix.
B. The patient experiences heavy bleeding and cervical dilation.
C. The patient experiences severe cramping and heavy bleeding.
D. The patient experiences painless bleeding and an open cervix.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Threatened abortion occurs when the patient experiences slight vaginal bleeding through an undilated cervix. This is characterized by bleeding without cervical dilation, distinguishing it from inevitable abortion (heavy bleeding and cervical dilation), incomplete abortion (severe cramping and heavy bleeding), and missed abortion (painless bleeding and an open cervix).

3. 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.

4. Which department of the Government ministries was given the mandate to pilot a draft population policy?

A. The department of planning and development
B. National census
C. Human rights
D. Central statistics

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The department of planning and development. In the extract provided, it explicitly mentions that this department was tasked with piloting the population policy. The other choices are incorrect because the National census is primarily responsible for collecting demographic data, Human rights focus on ensuring and protecting human rights, and Central statistics deal with statistical data collection and analysis, none of which directly align with piloting a population policy.

5. Which of the following is a complication of abortions?

A. Malnutrition
B. Peritoneum
C. Fibroids
D. Septicaemia

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Septicaemia is a severe complication that can result from abortions due to infections introduced during the procedure. Malnutrition, peritoneum, and fibroids are not typically direct complications of abortions.
