1. Which contraceptive option suppresses sperm motility and inhibits the implantation of the blastocyst?

• A. Copper-T
• B. Diaphragm
• C. Contraceptive pills
• D. Condom

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Copper-T. Copper-T is an intrauterine device that releases copper ions, which suppress sperm motility and inhibit the implantation of the blastocyst. This method mainly works by preventing fertilization and, if fertilization occurs, by making the endometrium less receptive to implantation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. The diaphragm is a barrier method that prevents sperm from reaching the cervix; contraceptive pills mainly work by suppressing ovulation and altering cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg; condoms are barrier methods that prevent sperm from entering the vagina.

2. The products of conception are retained in which of the following?

• A. Complete abortions
• B. Incomplete abortions
• C. Threatened abortion
• D. Mixed abortion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In incomplete abortions, the products of conception are retained. In a complete abortion, all the products of conception are expelled from the uterus. Threatened abortion refers to a situation where there is vaginal bleeding but the cervix remains closed, and it does not necessarily involve retention of products of conception. Mixed abortion is not a recognized medical term related to retained products of conception.

3. What is the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography?

• A. Check a woman's tubes and is done with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram
• B. Detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in urine or whole blood.
• C. Diagnose ovarian cancer using MRI technology.
• D. Detect cancer cells in the cervix.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography is a test used to check a woman's fallopian tubes with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram. This test is specifically designed to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography.

4. What does Bidder's canal receive?

• A. Eggs
• B. Sperms
• C. Ammonia
• D. Oxygenated blood

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Bidder's canal is a part of the male reproductive system and receives sperm from the testes. The other choices are incorrect because Bidder's canal is not associated with receiving eggs, ammonia, or oxygenated blood.

5. Which one of the following is not associated with poor maternal outcome?

• A. APH
• B. PPH
• C. Cord prolapse
• D. Pre-eclampsia

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Cord prolapse is not typically associated with poor maternal outcomes. Acute placental hemorrhage (APH - choice A) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH - choice B) can lead to maternal morbidity and mortality due to excessive blood loss. Pre-eclampsia (choice D) is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, which can result in severe maternal complications if not managed promptly. Cord prolapse, though concerning for fetal well-being, does not inherently pose direct risks to maternal health if managed appropriately, making it the correct answer in this context.
