1. What does MTP stand for?

• A. Medical Termination of Parturition
• B. Mechanical Transfer of Pollen
• C. Medical Termination of Pregnancy
• D. Maternally Transmitted Pathogens

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct expansion for MTP is Medical Termination of Pregnancy. This term is commonly used in healthcare to refer to the procedure of ending a pregnancy. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the expansion of the abbreviation MTP. Choice A refers to labor induction, choice B is related to plant reproduction, and choice D deals with the transmission of pathogens from mother to offspring.

2. Which one of the following is not associated with poor maternal outcome?

• A. APH
• B. PPH
• C. Cord prolapse
• D. Pre-eclampsia

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Cord prolapse is not typically associated with poor maternal outcomes. Acute placental hemorrhage (APH - choice A) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH - choice B) can lead to maternal morbidity and mortality due to excessive blood loss. Pre-eclampsia (choice D) is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, which can result in severe maternal complications if not managed promptly. Cord prolapse, though concerning for fetal well-being, does not inherently pose direct risks to maternal health if managed appropriately, making it the correct answer in this context.

3. Outlet of the true pelvis anteriorly bounded by:

• A. Ischiopubic arch (T)
• B. Linea terminalis (F)
• C. Coccyx (T)
• D. Promontory of the sacrum (F)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ischiopubic arch. The outlet of the true pelvis is indeed anteriorly bounded by the ischiopubic arch, which consists of the ischium and the pubic bones. This structure forms the lower boundary of the pelvic outlet. The other choices, B, C, and D, are incorrect. The linea terminalis (pelvic brim) forms the upper boundary of the true pelvis, the coccyx is part of the bony pelvis but does not bound the pelvic outlet anteriorly, and the promontory of the sacrum is located in the posterior part of the pelvis, not the anterior boundary of the pelvic outlet.

4. When does missed abortion occur?

• A. The fetus dies and is retained in utero with the placenta and membranes.
• B. All products of conception are expelled with minimal bleeding.
• C. The cervix remains closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus.
• D. The cervix remains closed, but there is heavy bleeding.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Missed abortion occurs when the cervix is closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus. Choice A describes a missed abortion, not choice C. Choice B describes a complete abortion. Choice D describes a threatened abortion, where the cervix remains closed but there is heavy bleeding.

5. What action does the copper used in Copper T have?

• A. Blastocidal
• B. Bacteriostatic
• C. Bacteriocidal
• D. Spermicidal

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Spermicidal. The copper in Copper T exerts its action by affecting sperm viability and motility, thus preventing fertilization. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because Copper T primarily works by preventing sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg, rather than acting on blastocysts, bacteria, or bacteriocins.
