1. Which hormone is released from the testes?

• A. Progesterone
• B. Vasopressin
• C. Testosterone
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is testosterone. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone produced in the testes. Progesterone is a female sex hormone primarily produced in the ovaries, not in the testes. Vasopressin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland to regulate water balance in the body, not produced by the testes. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.

2. 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.

3. The surgical procedure done in Bartholin's abscess is called:

• A. Hysterectomy
• B. Oophorectomy
• C. Marsupialization
• D. Salpingectomy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Marsupialization. Marsupialization is the surgical procedure specifically performed for Bartholin's abscess. This procedure involves creating a new duct for the Bartholin's gland to prevent future abscess formation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, oophorectomy involves the removal of the ovaries, and salpingectomy involves the removal of the fallopian tubes, none of which are the appropriate procedures for treating a Bartholin's abscess.

4. Practices such as female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are categorized as:

• A. Harmful traditional practices
• B. Encouraged in rural Zambia
• C. Recommended in modern surgery and IRH
• D. Safer sex practices

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Practices like female genital mutilation and unsafe male circumcision are considered harmful traditional practices due to the physical and psychological harm they cause. Choice A is correct as these practices are not safe or recommended. Choice B is incorrect, as harmful traditional practices are not encouraged anywhere. Choice C is incorrect as modern surgery and organizations like IRH aim to eliminate such practices, not recommend them. Choice D is incorrect as these practices are not related to safer sex practices but rather harmful practices that need to be eradicated.

5. What is the term used to describe the gestational sac surrounded by a blood clot and retained in the tube?

• A. A carneous mole.
• B. A hydatidiform mole.
• C. A vesicular mole.
• D. A chorionic mole.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: a carneous mole. A carneous mole occurs when a gestational sac is surrounded by a blood clot and retained in the tube. Choice B, a hydatidiform mole, is incorrect as it refers to an abnormal pregnancy characterized by the presence of hydropic chorionic villi. Choice C, a vesicular mole, is also incorrect as it is another term for a complete hydatidiform mole. Choice D, a chorionic mole, is not a recognized medical term and is therefore incorrect.
