1. How does the component of Adolescent health and development empower adolescents/youths?

• A. By equipping them with life skills
• B. By involving them in providing health education
• C. By encouraging them to become peer educators
• D. By providing them with loans to start businesses

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: By equipping them with life skills. Life skills empower adolescents and youths to make informed decisions and take control of their health. Providing health education (choice B) and encouraging them to become peer educators (choice C) are beneficial but may not directly empower them as much as acquiring life skills. Giving loans to start businesses (choice D) is not directly related to empowering adolescents in the context of health and development.

2. How can the need to respect clients' rights to informed consent be attained in quality of care?

• A. by providing adequate information and counseling
• B. by forcing all patients scheduled for surgery to sign the consent form
• C. by engaging the Senior medical superintendent of the hospital to sign consent forms for the patients
• D. by simply telling the patient to sign the consent form

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'by providing adequate information and counseling.' Respecting clients' rights to informed consent involves ensuring that patients are adequately informed about the procedures they will undergo. This includes providing them with all necessary information and counseling to make an informed decision. Choice B is incorrect because forcing patients to sign consent forms does not ensure that they are fully informed or that their rights are respected. Choice C is incorrect as involving a senior medical superintendent to sign consent forms does not guarantee that patients are adequately informed. Choice D is incorrect because simply telling the patient to sign the consent form does not fulfill the requirement of providing adequate information for informed consent.

3. What is the inner lining of the non-pregnant uterus called?

• A. Decidua
• B. Myometrium
• C. Endometrium
• D. Sponge layer

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Endometrium. The endometrium is the inner lining of the non-pregnant uterus that undergoes cyclic changes in response to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. Choice A, Decidua, is the specialized membrane formed during pregnancy. Choice B, Myometrium, refers to the middle layer of the uterine wall composed of smooth muscle. Choice D, Sponge layer, is not a term used to describe the inner lining of the uterus.

4. Which of the following is a function of the placenta?

• A. The placenta secretes insulin.
• B. The placenta facilitates the exchange of gases and nutrients between mother and fetus.
• C. The placenta provides immunological protection to the fetus.
• D. The placenta stores fat-soluble vitamins for the fetus.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The placenta serves as a crucial organ during pregnancy, facilitating the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and nutrients (such as glucose and amino acids) between the mother and the developing fetus. This exchange is vital for the fetus's growth and development. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. The placenta does not secrete insulin; insulin is produced by the pancreas. While the placenta provides some immune support to the fetus, its main role is not immunological protection. Additionally, storing fat-soluble vitamins is not a primary function of the placenta.

5. What does Community Participation in reproductive health mean?

• A. Engaging the community in all stages to ensure acceptability, appropriateness, and sustainability of reproductive health programs.
• B. Providing health services only to women of reproductive age.
• C. Providing reproductive health services without community involvement.
• D. Providing reproductive health services to the entire population without exceptions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Engaging the community in all stages to ensure acceptability, appropriateness, and sustainability of reproductive health programs. Community participation in reproductive health involves involving the community in planning, implementing, and evaluating programs to ensure they meet the needs and are sustainable. Choice B is incorrect because community participation is not limited to only women of reproductive age but involves the entire community. Choice C is incorrect as it emphasizes providing services without community involvement, which goes against the principles of community participation. Choice D is incorrect because community participation focuses on involving the community rather than providing services to the entire population without exceptions.
