1. Laparoscopy uses a small instrument known as a laparoscope to:

A. Take very detailed photographs
B. Insert a hysteroscope for D&C
C. Perform an abortion procedure
D. Perform a hysterectomy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Laparoscopy uses a small instrument known as a laparoscope to take very detailed photographs of the pelvic organs. This procedure is commonly used for diagnostic purposes, to visualize internal organs, and to perform minimally invasive surgeries. Choice B, inserting a hysteroscope for D&C, is incorrect as hysteroscopy is a different procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus, not the pelvic organs. Choice C, performing an abortion procedure, is incorrect as laparoscopy is not used for abortion. Choice D, performing a hysterectomy, is incorrect as although laparoscopy can be used in some cases for hysterectomy, its primary purpose is not for this procedure.

2. What is the estimated percentage of deaths due to unsafe abortions from 591 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births?

A. 0.1
B. 0.2
C. 0.3
D. 0.4

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the estimated percentage of deaths due to unsafe abortions, you divide the number of deaths due to unsafe abortions by the total number of maternal deaths and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. In this case, with 591 maternal deaths and 40% estimated to be due to unsafe abortions, the calculation is (591 * 0.4) / 100, which equals 2.36. Therefore, the estimated percentage of deaths due to unsafe abortions from 591 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births is 0.4 or 40%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect percentages that do not reflect the provided information.

3. What is required for privacy in reproductive health services?

A. Covering windows and placing partitions between examination areas.
B. Placing examination tables so that women will be exposed during exams.
C. Allowing healthcare staff to discuss patients openly in the clinic.
D. Forcing patients to undergo procedures without proper explanation.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Privacy in reproductive health services necessitates maintaining confidentiality and creating a private environment for patients. This includes covering windows and using partitions between examination areas to protect the patient's privacy. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests exposing women during exams, which violates privacy. Choice C is incorrect because discussing patients openly breaches confidentiality. Choice D is incorrect as it goes against informed consent and proper communication, which are essential components of respecting patient autonomy and privacy.

4. Which family planning method was alternatively provided by the family life movement?

A. Use of condom
B. Use of spermicides
C. Use of natural family planning
D. Use of hormonal pills

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The family life movement promoted natural family planning as an alternative method. Natural family planning involves tracking a woman's menstrual cycle to determine the fertile period, making it distinct from the other options provided. Condoms (Choice A) and spermicides (Choice B) are barrier methods, while hormonal pills (Choice D) involve the use of synthetic hormones to prevent pregnancy. Therefore, the correct answer is the use of natural family planning.

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.
