1. Which statement accurately describes the female pelvis?

• A. Gynaecoid pelvis has a wedge-shaped inlet
• B. Platypelloid pelvis has an oval inlet
• C. Anthropoid pelvis has a long narrow oval inlet
• D. Android pelvis is wedge-shaped

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the Platypelloid pelvis indeed has an oval inlet. Gynaecoid pelvis, not mentioned in the choices, has a round inlet. Anthropoid pelvis has a long, narrow oval inlet, which makes choice C incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as the Android pelvis is actually heart-shaped with a narrowed inlet.

2. During which phase of the menstrual cycle does the Graafian follicle rupture?

• A. Regenerative
• B. Menstruation
• C. Ovulation
• D. Proliferative

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ovulation. The Graafian follicle ruptures during the ovulation phase, releasing the mature egg from the ovary. This process marks the midpoint of the menstrual cycle. Choice A, Regenerative, is incorrect as it does not correspond to a specific phase of the menstrual cycle. Choice B, Menstruation, is incorrect because menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining and occurs after ovulation if fertilization does not occur. Choice D, Proliferative, is incorrect as it refers to the phase in which the uterine lining thickens in preparation for a potential embryo implantation, which happens after ovulation.

3. Which of the following data should not be included in the identification data of gynecological history?

• A. Parity
• B. Lost normal menstrual period
• C. EDD (Expected date of delivery)
• D. Last delivery

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: EDD (Expected date of delivery). In a gynecological history, EDD is not typically included as it pertains more to obstetric history. Parity, lost normal menstrual period, and last delivery are important components of gynecological history. Parity refers to the number of times a woman has given birth to a fetus past 20 weeks' gestation. Lost normal menstrual period can provide insight into potential gynecological issues, while last delivery details the most recent childbirth experience. Therefore, EDD is the outlier in this context.

4. Which of the following is included in a gynecological examination?

• A. Abdominal examination
• B. General and systemic examination
• C. Obstetric exam
• D. Pelvic examination

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Correct! A gynecological examination typically includes an abdominal examination to assess the overall health of the patient. This includes checking for any abnormalities, tenderness, or masses. General and systemic examinations are also important as they provide valuable information about the patient's overall health status. Pelvic examination is another essential component of a gynecological exam to assess the reproductive organs. Obstetric exams, focusing on pregnant women, are not part of routine gynecological examinations.

5. When does threatened abortion occur?

• A. The patient experiences slight vaginal bleeding through an undilated cervix.
• B. The patient experiences heavy bleeding and cervical dilation.
• C. The patient experiences severe cramping and heavy bleeding.
• D. The patient experiences painless bleeding and an open cervix.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Threatened abortion occurs when the patient experiences slight vaginal bleeding through an undilated cervix. This is characterized by bleeding without cervical dilation, distinguishing it from inevitable abortion (heavy bleeding and cervical dilation), incomplete abortion (severe cramping and heavy bleeding), and missed abortion (painless bleeding and an open cervix).
