1. Oligomenorrhea is defined as a cycle longer than:

• A. 28 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 35 days
• D. 40 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Oligomenorrhea is defined as a menstrual cycle longer than 35 days. A cycle of 28 days (Choice A) is within the normal range, and not considered oligomenorrhea. Similarly, 30 days (Choice B) and 40 days (Choice D) are also within the normal range. The correct definition of oligomenorrhea specifically refers to cycles longer than 35 days, making Choice C the correct answer.

2. Discuss the anatomical/physiological changes in pregnancy under the following: Haematological system

• A. Blood volume and plasma volume increase, red blood cells increase, erythropoietin levels decrease, and leukocyte count increases.
• B. Blood volume and plasma volume decrease, and red blood cells decrease.
• C. No changes occur in the haematological system during pregnancy.
• D. Platelet count remains constant, and no change in coagulation factors.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During pregnancy, the haematological system undergoes changes to support the growing fetus. Blood volume and plasma volume increase to accommodate the needs of the developing baby. Red blood cells increase to support the increased oxygen demand. Contrary to the statement, erythropoietin levels actually increase to stimulate red blood cell production. Additionally, leukocyte count increases to help the mother's immune system cope with the changes during pregnancy. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a decrease in blood components, which is not the case in pregnancy. Choice C is incorrect as there are significant changes in the haematological system during pregnancy. Choice D is incorrect as platelet count can fluctuate during pregnancy, and there are changes in coagulation factors to prevent excessive bleeding.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following is used to differentiate abdominal mass from pelvic mass on clinical examination?

• A. Size
• B. Site
• C. Margins
• D. Lower border

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The lower border is used to differentiate between an abdominal mass and a pelvic mass during clinical examination. The lower border of the mass provides important information about its location and origin. The size (Choice A) alone may not always clearly distinguish between abdominal and pelvic masses. The site (Choice B) and margins (Choice C) are also important factors, but they are not as specific in differentiating between abdominal and pelvic masses as the lower border.

5. The menstrual disorder in which there is an absence or suppression of the normal menstrual period is called:

• A. Dysmenorrhoea
• B. Polymenorrhoea
• C. Menorrhagia
• D. Amenorrhoea

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Amenorrhoea is the correct term for the absence or suppression of the menstrual period. Dysmenorrhoea refers to painful menstruation, Polymenorrhoea is characterized by frequent, short menstrual cycles, and Menorrhagia is excessive menstrual bleeding. Therefore, 'Amenorrhoea' is the most appropriate term for the described menstrual disorder.
