Nursing Elites

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. The Gravindex test is used to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in:

• A. Urine or whole blood
• B. Amniotic fluid
• C. Saliva
• D. Cervical mucus

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Urine or whole blood. The Gravindex test is designed to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in urine or whole blood samples. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy, and its presence in urine or blood can indicate pregnancy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the Gravindex test is not intended to detect HCG in amniotic fluid, saliva, or cervical mucus. These bodily fluids are not typically used for pregnancy testing purposes.

3. Which of the following are layers of the anterior abdominal wall?

• A. Linear albicantes
• B. Superficial fascia
• C. Visceral peritoneum
• D. Fascia transversalis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Linear albicantes and B: Superficial fascia. Linear albicantes are stretch marks, and the superficial fascia is one of the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. Choices C and D, Visceral peritoneum and Fascia transversalis, respectively, are not layers of the anterior abdominal wall. The visceral peritoneum is a membrane covering the abdominal organs, and the fascia transversalis is a layer deep to the transversus abdominis muscle.

4. Which of the following is NOT a strategy for family planning?

• A. Integrating family planning services with other Reproductive Health programs
• B. Expanding access to family planning through non-public delivery systems
• C. Targeting family planning services to priority groups
• D. Expanding programs of immunization

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Expanded programs of immunization are not considered a strategy for family planning. Immunization programs focus on preventing diseases through vaccines and are distinct from family planning strategies, which aim to help individuals and couples plan their desired family size and spacing of children. Choices A, B, and C are all valid strategies for family planning. Integrating family planning services with other reproductive health programs, expanding access to family planning through non-public delivery systems, and targeting family planning services to priority groups are common approaches to improve the availability and effectiveness of family planning services.

5. In missed abortion, what will the woman often experience?

• A. Severe cramping and lower abdominal pains
• B. Brownish vaginal discharge
• C. Profuse per vagina bleeding
• D. Open cervical OS

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In missed abortion, the woman often experiences brownish vaginal discharge. This is known as a symptom of missed abortion. Severe cramping and lower abdominal pains (Choice A) are more characteristic of an incomplete abortion, where not all pregnancy tissue is expelled. Profuse per vagina bleeding (Choice C) is more commonly associated with a complete abortion. Open cervical OS (Choice D) is a physical finding and not a typical symptom reported by the woman in missed abortion.
