1. Which of the following is a contraceptive?

• A. Copper T
• B. Condom
• C. Diaphragm
• D. All of these

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, All of these. Copper T, Condom, and Diaphragm are all examples of contraceptives used to prevent pregnancy. Copper T is an intrauterine device (IUD) that is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Condoms are barrier contraceptives worn over the penis or inserted into the vagina to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Diaphragms are also barrier contraceptives that cover the cervix to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Therefore, all options listed (Copper T, Condom, Diaphragm) are indeed contraceptives, making 'All of these' the correct choice.

2. At 34-40 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

• A. Nipples become prominent and mobile.
• B. Colostrum can be expressed.
• C. Breasts become tender.
• D. Montgomery's tubercles are prominent.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During the 34-40 weeks of pregnancy, Montgomery's tubercles become prominent. These are sebaceous glands on the areola, not the nipples. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the changes in nipples, not Montgomery's tubercles. Choice B is incorrect as colostrum production usually starts around the 16th week. Choice C is incorrect as breast tenderness is more common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

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. What is one goal of family planning?

• A. Ensuring that all couples and individuals have the basic right to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children
• B. Limiting couples and individuals to one or two children
• C. Forcing couples and individuals to have only one child and adopt siblings from an orphanage
• D. Providing a permanent method of family planning after having three children

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Family planning aims to ensure that all couples and individuals have the basic right to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children. This promotes reproductive autonomy and allows individuals to make informed choices about their family size. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they involve imposing restrictions or decisions on family size rather than empowering individuals to make their own choices.

5. A menstrual disorder with irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus is known as:

• A. Menorrhagia
• B. Metrorrhagia
• C. Polymenorrhoea
• D. Epimenorrhoea

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Metrorrhagia is the correct term for irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus. Menorrhagia refers to heavy menstrual bleeding, not necessarily irregular. Polymenorrhoea is characterized by frequent menstrual periods, while Epimenorrhoea is not a recognized medical term related to menstrual disorders.
