1. What is the reasonable available distance from all patients to offer Primary Health Care (PHC) services?

• A. Within a 20 Km radius
• B. Within a 15 Km radius
• C. Within a 12 Km radius
• D. Within a 10 Km radius

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is within a 20 Km radius. Primary Health Care services should be accessible within a 20 Km radius to ensure adequate coverage for all patients. This distance allows for a reasonable reach while ensuring that individuals can access essential healthcare services in a timely manner. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they offer distances that may limit accessibility and coverage, potentially leaving some patients without timely access to necessary healthcare.

2. Herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) does not cause cold sores of the lips:

• A. True.
• B. False.
• C. Depends on the person.
• D. Not enough information.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) typically causes genital herpes, not cold sores on the lips. Cold sores on the lips are commonly caused by herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1). Therefore, the statement that HSV-2 causes cold sores of the lips is incorrect. Choice B, 'False,' is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect because HSV-2 does not cause cold sores on the lips. Choice C, 'Depends on the person,' is incorrect as the cause of cold sores is predominantly linked to HSV-1. Choice D, 'Not enough information,' is also incorrect as this information is well-established in medical knowledge.

3. Which part of the female reproductive system remains blocked after tubectomy?

• A. Fallopian tube
• B. Cervix
• C. Uterine cavity
• D. None

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After a tubectomy procedure, the Fallopian tube remains blocked. This is the correct answer because tubectomy involves the surgical blocking or sealing of the Fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus, thus preventing pregnancy. Choice B, the cervix, is incorrect as it is not blocked during a tubectomy. Choice C, the uterine cavity, is also incorrect as the procedure does not involve blocking this part of the reproductive system. Choice D, none, is incorrect as the purpose of tubectomy is to block the Fallopian tubes.

4. Which phase of the menstrual cycle is variable?

• A. Ovulatory
• B. Regenerative
• C. Secretory
• D. Menstrual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The regenerative phase of the menstrual cycle is the phase in which the endometrium rebuilds after menstruation. This phase can vary in duration from woman to woman and cycle to cycle. Choice A, the ovulatory phase, is not variable as it typically lasts around 24 hours. Choice C, the secretory phase, is also relatively consistent in its duration. Choice D, the menstrual phase, is the shedding of the endometrial lining and usually lasts around 3-7 days.

5. Inevitable abortion is characterized by:

• A. Heavy bleeding.
• B. Open os.
• C. Severe cramping.
• D. Light bleeding.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion is characterized by an open os. This condition is associated with heavy bleeding. While severe cramping can be present in inevitable abortion, the key characteristic is the open os, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect because they do not specifically describe the defining feature of inevitable abortion, which is the open os.
