1. Which of the following are types of induced abortions?

• A. Therapeutic abortion
• B. Missed abortion
• C. Inevitable abortion
• D. Threatened abortion

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, therapeutic abortion, which is a type of induced abortion performed for medical reasons. Missed abortion, inevitable abortion, and threatened abortion are types of spontaneous abortions, not induced abortions. Missed abortion refers to a non-viable pregnancy, inevitable abortion is a miscarriage that cannot be stopped, and threatened abortion is when there is bleeding during pregnancy without cervical dilation.

2. At what age does the first menstrual period typically occur?

• A. 9 and 15 years
• B. 2 and 10 years
• C. 1 and 5 years
• D. 18 and 20 years

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The first menstrual period, known as menarche, typically occurs between the ages of 9 and 15 years. This marks the onset of puberty in females. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the first menstrual period does not occur as early as 2 years old, 1 year old, or as late as 18 to 20 years old.

3. Which female reproductive organ is positioned directly posterior to the bladder?

• A. Uterine tube
• B. Vagina
• C. Uterus
• D. Ovaries

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the uterus. The uterus is positioned directly posterior to the bladder in the female reproductive system. The uterine tube (choice A) is also known as the fallopian tube, which is not positioned directly posterior to the bladder. The vagina (choice B) is located below the uterus and not directly posterior to the bladder. The ovaries (choice D) are located on either side of the uterus, but they are not positioned directly posterior to the bladder.

4. Which hormone is primarily responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics?

• A. Progesterone
• B. Testosterone
• C. Estrogen
• D. Oxytocin

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Estrogen is primarily responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. Progesterone, while important in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, is not primarily responsible for secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. Oxytocin is involved in labor, lactation, and social bonding, but not in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics.

5. Expanded access to family planning through non-public delivery systems is facilitated by all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. By using the private sector and social marketing
• B. Community-based programs
• C. Information, Education, and Communication
• D. Key persons in the community

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Expanded access to family planning through non-public delivery systems involves utilizing various strategies to reach more people. Options A, B, and C are all effective methods for expanding access to family planning services. The involvement of key persons in the community is not a typical approach for non-public delivery systems. Key persons in the community may have influence but may not be directly involved in the delivery of family planning services, making option D the correct answer.
