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. In 1989, the national population policy was formally launched targeting:

• A. Reducing population growth
• B. Making family planning services available
• C. Making services accessible and affordable to all eligible users
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the national population policy launched in 1989 aimed at reducing population growth by making family planning services available, accessible, and affordable to all eligible users. Choice A is incorrect as it does not encompass the full scope of the policy objectives. Choice B is also incomplete as it focuses solely on availability without considering accessibility and affordability. Choice C is partially correct but lacks the comprehensive approach of the national population policy.

3. What is the definition of incomplete abortion?

• A. Part of the products of conception, especially the fetus, is expelled while the placenta and membranes are retained.
• B. All products of conception are expelled, and there is minimal per vaginal bleeding.
• C. The cervix is closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus.
• D. The cervix dilates, and the products of conception are expelled.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Incomplete abortion is defined as part of the products of conception, especially the fetus, being expelled while the placenta and membranes are retained. This is the correct definition, making option A the right choice. Option B is incorrect as it describes a complete abortion. Option C is incorrect because in incomplete abortion, the products of conception are not retained in the uterus, and the cervix may be open. Option D is incorrect as it describes a situation more likely to be seen in an inevitable abortion.

4. The Wolffian duct is also known as ____________.

• A. Mesonephric duct
• B. Ejaculatory duct
• C. Major sublingual duct
• D. Cystic duct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mesonephric duct. The Wolffian duct is indeed also known as the mesonephric duct. This duct plays a vital role in the development of the male reproductive system by carrying sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. Choice B, Ejaculatory duct, is incorrect as it refers to a different duct responsible for transporting semen from the vas deferens. Choices C and D, Major sublingual duct and Cystic duct, are unrelated to the Wolffian duct and are not correct answers in this context.

5. 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.
