1. Which of the following is included in a pelvic examination?

• A. Inspection of internal genitalia
• B. Inspection of the cervix and vaginal wall
• C. Palpation of the vagina and vaginal cervix by digital examination
• D. Rectal examination

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. A pelvic examination involves the inspection of the cervix and vaginal wall. This is typically done to assess the health of the reproductive organs and screen for any abnormalities. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while palpation and digital examination may be part of a pelvic exam, the specific focus on the cervix and vaginal wall is a key component that distinguishes it from other types of examinations.

2. How can menopause affect health?

• A. Causing conjunctivitis
• B. Leading to colitis or bowel upsets
• C. Increasing the risk of cancer
• D. Triggering urinary infections

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Menopause can lead to changes in the urinary tract, such as decreased estrogen levels, which can increase the likelihood of urinary tract infections. While menopause can impact various aspects of health, including bone density and heart health, it is not directly linked to conjunctivitis, colitis, or an increased risk of cancer. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

3. Which technique is used to detect HIV/AIDS?

• A. Northern blot and ELISA
• B. Immunoblot and ELISA
• C. Western blot and ELISA
• D. Southern blot and ELISA

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Western blot and ELISA. Western blot and ELISA are commonly used techniques in the detection of HIV/AIDS. Western blot is used to confirm the presence of HIV antibodies in a patient's blood after an initial positive ELISA test. Northern blotting is a technique used for RNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice A). Immunoblotting is another term for Western blotting, so Choice B is incorrect. Southern blotting is used for DNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice D).

4. Cryptorchidism is a condition where _________.

• A. One or both testes are not developed
• B. One or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum
• C. One or both testes are not formed
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum. This means that the testes do not properly move from the abdomen into the scrotum during fetal development. Choice A is incorrect because the issue is not about development but descent. Choice C is incorrect as it implies that the testes were never formed, which is not the case in cryptorchidism. Choice D is incorrect as cryptorchidism does involve the testes but rather their descent into the scrotum.

5. When does missed abortion occur?

• A. The fetus dies and is retained in utero with the placenta and membranes.
• B. All products of conception are expelled with minimal bleeding.
• C. The cervix remains closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus.
• D. The cervix remains closed, but there is heavy bleeding.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Missed abortion occurs when the cervix is closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus. Choice A describes a missed abortion, not choice C. Choice B describes a complete abortion. Choice D describes a threatened abortion, where the cervix remains closed but there is heavy bleeding.
