1. What is a characteristic of threatening abortion?

• A. Os open.
• B. Firm contracted uterus.
• C. Heavy bleeding.
• D. Severe cramping.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Threatening abortion is characterized by a firm contracted uterus with an open os. This presentation indicates a risk of miscarriage. Choice A ('Os open') is not specific enough and does not fully describe the condition. Choices C ('Heavy bleeding') and D ('Severe cramping') can also be present in threatening abortion, but the primary characteristic is a firm contracted uterus with an open os.

2. What does Community Participation in reproductive health mean?

• A. Engaging the community in all stages to ensure acceptability, appropriateness, and sustainability of reproductive health programs.
• B. Providing health services only to women of reproductive age.
• C. Providing reproductive health services without community involvement.
• D. Providing reproductive health services to the entire population without exceptions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Engaging the community in all stages to ensure acceptability, appropriateness, and sustainability of reproductive health programs. Community participation in reproductive health involves involving the community in planning, implementing, and evaluating programs to ensure they meet the needs and are sustainable. Choice B is incorrect because community participation is not limited to only women of reproductive age but involves the entire community. Choice C is incorrect as it emphasizes providing services without community involvement, which goes against the principles of community participation. Choice D is incorrect because community participation focuses on involving the community rather than providing services to the entire population without exceptions.

3. Which of the following is used to differentiate abdominal mass from pelvic mass on clinical examination?

• A. Size
• B. Site
• C. Margins
• D. Lower border

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The lower border is used to differentiate between an abdominal mass and a pelvic mass during clinical examination. The lower border of the mass provides important information about its location and origin. The size (Choice A) alone may not always clearly distinguish between abdominal and pelvic masses. The site (Choice B) and margins (Choice C) are also important factors, but they are not as specific in differentiating between abdominal and pelvic masses as the lower border.

4. Oligomenorrhea is defined as a cycle longer than:

• A. 28 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 35 days
• D. 40 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Oligomenorrhea is defined as a menstrual cycle longer than 35 days. A cycle of 28 days (Choice A) is within the normal range, and not considered oligomenorrhea. Similarly, 30 days (Choice B) and 40 days (Choice D) are also within the normal range. The correct definition of oligomenorrhea specifically refers to cycles longer than 35 days, making Choice C the correct answer.

5. What is another name for the breast?

• A. Sebaceous glands
• B. Racemose glands
• C. Mammary glands
• D. Axillary glands

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mammary glands. The mammary glands are the specific glands in the breast responsible for producing milk. Sebaceous glands (choice A) are oil-producing glands in the skin, racemose glands (choice B) are not a recognized term, and axillary glands (choice D) refer to glands found in the armpit region, not the breast.
