1. Which of the following methods is used for permanent contraception in males?

• A. Vasectomy
• B. Tubal ligation
• C. Condoms
• D. Coitus interruptus

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vasectomy. Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for permanent contraception in males by cutting or blocking the vas deferens. Choice B, Tubal ligation, is a method for permanent contraception in females by blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes. Choice C, Condoms, provide a barrier method of contraception but are not permanent. Choice D, Coitus interruptus, involves withdrawing the penis before ejaculation and is not a reliable method of contraception.

2. Discuss the anatomical/physiological changes in pregnancy under the following: Kidney/renal system

• A. Kidneys increase in size, pelvis dilates, ureters elongate and dilate, and the glomerular filtration rate increases.
• B. Kidneys decrease in size, and glomerular filtration rate decreases.
• C. There is no change in kidney size or ureter function, but the glomerular filtration rate decreases.
• D. Kidneys shrink, and ureters remain the same.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During pregnancy, the kidneys increase in size, the pelvis dilates, ureters elongate and dilate, and the glomerular filtration rate increases. This is due to the increased metabolic demands and hormonal changes during pregnancy. Choice B is incorrect as the kidneys do not decrease in size, and the glomerular filtration rate actually increases. Choice C is incorrect as there are changes in kidney size and ureter function during pregnancy. Choice D is incorrect as the kidneys do not shrink during pregnancy.

3. Which hormone is detected in pregnancy tests?

• A. Estrogen
• B. Progesterone
• C. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
• D. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. During pregnancy, the placenta produces hCG, which can be detected in the urine or blood to confirm pregnancy. Estrogen and progesterone are also essential hormones in pregnancy but are not typically used for pregnancy tests. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is involved in the menstrual cycle and ovulation, not pregnancy.

4. What are the external organs of the female collectively known as?

• A. Vulva
• B. Frenulum
• C. Mons veneris
• D. Vestibule

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vulva. The external organs of the female reproductive system, including the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal opening, and Bartholin's glands, are collectively known as the vulva. Choice B, Frenulum, is incorrect as it refers to a small band of tissue. Choice C, Mons veneris, specifically refers to the rounded mass of fatty tissue located over the pubic bone, not all external female reproductive organs. Choice D, Vestibule, is incorrect as it is the space enclosed by the labia minora that includes the vaginal and urethral openings, not all external female reproductive organs.

5. By which name is family planning currently known?

• A. Reproductive and child care
• B. Family and child care
• C. Reproductive and child health
• D. Reproductive and child health care

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Family planning is currently known as Reproductive and Child Health (RCH). It encompasses a broader scope beyond just care, focusing on the overall health aspects related to reproduction and child well-being. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the comprehensive nature of family planning under the term Reproductive and Child Health.
