Nursing Elites

1. What is another name for the breast?

• A. Sebaceous glands
• B. Racemose glands
• C. Mammary glands
• D. Axillary glands

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mammary glands. The mammary glands are the specific glands in the breast responsible for producing milk. Sebaceous glands (choice A) are oil-producing glands in the skin, racemose glands (choice B) are not a recognized term, and axillary glands (choice D) refer to glands found in the armpit region, not the breast.

2. After fertilization, cell division occurs through a process of:

• A. Binary fission
• B. Meiosis
• C. Budding
• D. Mitosis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cell division through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Choice A, binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, not the process that occurs after fertilization in multicellular organisms. Choice B, meiosis, is a type of cell division that leads to the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes, not the process that occurs after fertilization. Choice C, budding, is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some organisms like yeast, but it is not the process of cell division after fertilization.

3. What does Integrated Reproductive Health entail?

• A. Women of childbearing age
• B. Women and under-five children only
• C. Men, women, adolescents, youth, and children
• D. Pregnant women only

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Integrated Reproductive Health involves providing services that cater to a wide range of demographics, including men, women, adolescents, youth, and children. This comprehensive approach ensures that reproductive health needs are addressed across different age groups and genders. Choices A, B, and D are too restrictive and do not encompass the full scope of Integrated Reproductive Health services.

4. To minimize unsafe abortions, IRH has strengthened:

• A. The termination of pregnancy act
• B. The post-abortion care and counseling services
• C. The gender and violence unit of the police services
• D. The empowerment of all women who want to abort

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Post-abortion care and counseling services are crucial in reducing unsafe abortions by providing support, medical care, and guidance to individuals who have undergone abortions, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Strengthening the termination of pregnancy act (Choice A) might focus more on the legal aspects rather than the healthcare services needed post-abortion. The gender and violence unit of the police services (Choice C) is important for addressing gender-based violence but not directly related to reducing unsafe abortions. Empowering all women who want to abort (Choice D) is a broad concept that may not specifically address the need for comprehensive post-abortion care and counseling services.

5. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is best for:

• A. Clients who do not wish to have any more children
• B. Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum
• C. Clients who want to wait before having a first or another child
• D. Clients with several sexual partners

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is a highly effective temporary family planning method that is recommended for women who have recently given birth and are breastfeeding. LAM works best when the baby is less than 6 months old, the mother is exclusively breastfeeding, and her menstrual periods have not resumed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because LAM is specifically designed for postpartum women with infants less than 6 months old, focusing on the lactational infertility that occurs during exclusive breastfeeding.
