1. Which of the following is a symptom of menopause?

• A. Bleeding per vagina
• B. Sleeping all the time
• C. Insomnia
• D. Increased concentration

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Insomnia is a common symptom of menopause. During menopause, hormonal changes can lead to sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Choice A, 'Bleeding per vagina,' is not a typical symptom of menopause but should prompt further evaluation. Choice B, 'Sleeping all the time,' is not a common symptom of menopause; in fact, insomnia, rather than excessive sleep, is more prevalent. Choice D, 'Increased concentration,' is not a symptom of menopause; cognitive changes like forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating may occur, but increased concentration is not a typical manifestation.

2. Treatment for condylomata acuminata includes the following EXCEPT:

• A. Vulvectomy
• B. Podophyllin application
• C. Laser therapy
• D. Electrocautery

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Vulvectomy is not a standard treatment for condylomata acuminata, which are genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Surgical removal of the vulva (vulvectomy) is an extreme measure and not typically indicated for treating this condition. Choices B, C, and D are valid treatments for condylomata acuminata. Podophyllin application, laser therapy, and electrocautery are commonly used to remove or destroy genital warts caused by HPV. These treatments aim to eliminate the visible warts and clear the infection.

3. 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.

4. At what point is a fetus considered viable?

• A. 26 weeks
• B. 28 weeks
• C. 37 weeks
• D. 12 weeks

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A fetus is considered viable after 37 weeks of gestation. At this stage, the fetus has a higher chance of surviving outside the womb with medical support. Choice A (26 weeks), Choice B (28 weeks), and Choice D (12 weeks) are incorrect because a fetus is not typically considered viable at those earlier gestational ages.

5. At 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

• A. Prickling, tingling sensation.
• B. Nipples become prominent and mobile.
• C. Darkening of the nipple.
• D. Breast start producing milk

Correct answer: D

Rationale: At 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes typically include the onset of colostrum production, not just tenderness. Colostrum is the first milk produced by the mammary glands during pregnancy. While some women may experience prickling or tingling sensations, prominent and mobile nipples, and darkening of the nipple, the key change during this time period is the production of colostrum. This substance is rich in antibodies and important for the newborn's initial nutrition. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the choices provided.
