1. During which phase of the menstrual cycle does the Graafian follicle rupture?

• A. Regenerative
• B. Menstruation
• C. Ovulation
• D. Proliferative

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ovulation. The Graafian follicle ruptures during the ovulation phase, releasing the mature egg from the ovary. This process marks the midpoint of the menstrual cycle. Choice A, Regenerative, is incorrect as it does not correspond to a specific phase of the menstrual cycle. Choice B, Menstruation, is incorrect because menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining and occurs after ovulation if fertilization does not occur. Choice D, Proliferative, is incorrect as it refers to the phase in which the uterine lining thickens in preparation for a potential embryo implantation, which happens after ovulation.

2. How does the component of Adolescent health and development empower adolescents/youths?

• A. By equipping them with life skills
• B. By involving them in providing health education
• C. By encouraging them to become peer educators
• D. By providing them with loans to start businesses

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: By equipping them with life skills. Life skills empower adolescents and youths to make informed decisions and take control of their health. Providing health education (choice B) and encouraging them to become peer educators (choice C) are beneficial but may not directly empower them as much as acquiring life skills. Giving loans to start businesses (choice D) is not directly related to empowering adolescents in the context of health and development.

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. 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.'

5. In which of the following types of spontaneous abortions would the nurse assess dark brown vaginal discharge and a negative pregnancy test?

• A. Threatened
• B. Imminent
• C. Missed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Dark brown vaginal discharge and a negative pregnancy test are characteristic of a missed abortion. In a missed abortion, the fetus has died, but the products of conception are retained in the uterus. This can lead to symptoms like dark brown vaginal discharge as the body tries to expel the nonviable pregnancy. A threatened abortion is characterized by vaginal bleeding without dilation of the cervix, and the pregnancy remains viable. Imminent abortion involves cervical dilation and effacement with no passage of tissue. In an incomplete abortion, only part of the products of conception are expelled, leading to persistent bleeding and cramping.
