Nursing Elites

1. Incomplete abortion is characterized by:

• A. Heavy bleeding.
• B. Open os.
• C. Severe cramping.
• D. Light bleeding.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Incomplete abortion is characterized by an open os, which means that the cervix is dilated, allowing for passage of tissue. This condition typically presents with heavy bleeding as parts of the products of conception are expelled. Severe cramping may also be present due to uterine contractions. Therefore, the correct characteristic of incomplete abortion is an open os (Choice B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as heavy bleeding and severe cramping are symptoms associated with incomplete abortion, but they do not specifically define it, and light bleeding is not characteristic of incomplete abortion.

2. Appropriate Technologies and Skills:

• A. Must be selected according to universal standards
• B. Involves ensuring the woman delivers at the hospital
• C. Requires specific qualifications such as being a nurse
• D. Necessitates the presence of a doctor at the service providing facility

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because appropriate technologies must adhere to universal standards to ensure their effectiveness. Choice B is incorrect because the question is not specifically referring to childbirth. Choice C is incorrect as it limits the scope to only nurses. Choice D is incorrect as it implies the necessity of a doctor, which may not always be the case.

3. What is a Carneous Mole defined as?

• A. Occurs when fluids drain from the blood mole, leaving a fresh firm mass.
• B. Occurs when the ovum dies and is expelled.
• C. Occurs when the fetus dies, and the membranes rupture.
• D. Occurs when the fetus survives after a failed abortion attempt.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A Carneous Mole is defined as when fluids drain from the blood mole, leaving a fresh firm mass. This process leads to the formation of a solid mass resembling tissue. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a different concept known as a missed abortion, where the ovum dies and is expelled. Choice C is incorrect as it describes a situation related to fetal demise and membrane rupture, not specifically the formation of a Carneous Mole. Choice D is incorrect as it refers to a scenario where the fetus survives after a failed abortion attempt, which is distinct from the definition of a Carneous Mole.

4. Which of the following are examples of external genitalia?

• A. Mons veneris
• B. Labia majora
• C. Vagina
• D. Cervix

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mons veneris. The mons veneris and labia majora are considered external genitalia as they are visible externally. The vagina and cervix, on the other hand, are internal structures. The vagina is the canal leading from the external genitals to the cervix, which is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus.

5. What is the most common symptom in all clinical types of abortion EXCEPT:

• A. Lower abdominal pain
• B. Per vaginal bleeding
• C. Show
• D. Backache

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Show' is not a common symptom in all types of abortion. Lower abdominal pain, per vaginal bleeding, and backache are common symptoms associated with abortion. Lower abdominal pain may result from uterine contractions, per vaginal bleeding is a typical presentation, and backache can be a symptom due to the process of abortion. 'Show' refers to the mucus plug that blocks the cervix during pregnancy and is not a typical symptom of abortion.
