Nursing Elites

1. What type of epithelium lines the urinary bladder?

• A. Transitional epithelium.
• B. Stratified epithelium.
• C. Glandular tissue.
• D. Endometrium.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Transitional epithelium. The urinary bladder is lined with transitional epithelium, a specialized type of epithelial tissue that can stretch and recoil to accommodate changes in volume as the bladder fills and empties. Stratified epithelium (choice B) is not the main lining of the urinary bladder and is found in other areas like the skin. Glandular tissue (choice C) is responsible for producing secretions and is not typically found lining the urinary bladder. Endometrium (choice D) is the inner lining of the uterus and is not present in the urinary bladder.

2. 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.

3. Which hormone is primarily responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics?

• A. Progesterone
• B. Testosterone
• C. Estrogen
• D. Oxytocin

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Estrogen is primarily responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. Progesterone, while important in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, is not primarily responsible for secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. Oxytocin is involved in labor, lactation, and social bonding, but not in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics.

4. What do you call a system involving other government Ministries, Non-Governmental Organizations, Politicians, Policy makers, Senior managers, the Community, Church organizations, and other concerned bodies and users of services?

• A. Community participation
• B. Peer consultation
• C. Multi-sectoral approach
• D. Appropriate technology

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A multi-sectoral approach involves collaboration among various sectors and stakeholders to address complex issues comprehensively. In this context, it ensures that different entities work together to provide inclusive and effective services. Choice A, 'Community participation,' focuses more on the involvement of the community specifically. Choice B, 'Peer consultation,' pertains to seeking advice or input from peers within the same field. Choice D, 'Appropriate technology,' refers to the use of suitable technology for a particular situation, which is not the primary focus of the described system.

5. Which one of the following is not a stage in the ovarian cycle of the menstrual cycle?

• A. Recruitment of Graafian follicle
• B. Selection of dominant follicle
• C. Luteal phase
• D. Formation of corpus luteum

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The recruitment of the Graafian follicle is indeed a stage in the ovarian cycle. During the ovarian cycle, the primary follicles are recruited to develop further, leading to the formation of the Graafian follicle. The selection of the dominant follicle, luteal phase, and formation of the corpus luteum are other essential stages in the ovarian cycle. Therefore, option A is not correct as it is a crucial phase in the process of ovulation and fertilization.
