Reproductive Health Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

In missed abortion, what will the woman often experience?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In missed abortion, the woman often experiences brownish vaginal discharge. This is known as a symptom of missed abortion. Severe cramping and lower abdominal pains (Choice A) are more characteristic of an incomplete abortion, where not all pregnancy tissue is expelled. Profuse per vagina bleeding (Choice C) is more commonly associated with a complete abortion. Open cervical OS (Choice D) is a physical finding and not a typical symptom reported by the woman in missed abortion.

Question 2 of 5

Which component of reproductive health ensures the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the health care system?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Health service delivery is the component of reproductive health that specifically focuses on ensuring the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the healthcare system. While safe motherhood and adolescent health are important aspects of reproductive health, they do not directly address the quality of health services delivery. Reproductive health information, although crucial, is not the component responsible for ensuring the quality of services provided.

Question 3 of 5

What does confidentiality in reproductive health services mean?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Confidentiality in reproductive health services means that all information regarding the patient should be discussed only among the patient, provider, and supervisors involved in their care. Choice B is incorrect because sharing patient information with all healthcare staff goes against the principle of confidentiality. Choice C is incorrect because sharing patient information with family members should only be done with the patient's explicit consent. Choice D is incorrect as allowing patient information to be discussed in public areas violates patient privacy and confidentiality.

Question 4 of 5

What causes the changes in appearance seen in boys at the time of puberty?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: During puberty, boys experience physical changes such as growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and muscle development. These changes are primarily driven by the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. Therefore, the correct answer is testosterone. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because prolactin, adrenaline, and estrogen do not play a significant role in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics during puberty.

Question 5 of 5

Which structure maintains the uterus in an anteverted and anteflexed position?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is the Round ligaments. The round ligaments are responsible for maintaining the uterus in an anteverted and anteflexed position. These ligaments attach from the sides of the uterus and extend through the inguinal canal to the labia majora. The other choices, Broad ligaments, Cardinal ligaments, and Pubocervical ligaments, have different functions and attachments within the pelvis. Broad ligaments are a double layer of peritoneum that encloses the uterus and supports the uterine tubes. Cardinal ligaments provide support to the cervix and upper vagina. Pubocervical ligaments support the cervix and bladder.
