1. Total Fertility Rate is at 6.2 births per woman in Zambia. This implies that:

• A. Zambian women will give birth to 6.2 children on average during their childbearing years.
• B. 6.2% of the time she will be pregnant during her childbearing years.
• C. 6.2% of her deliveries will not be successful.
• D. 6.2% of women will require medical intervention to become pregnant.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A Total Fertility Rate of 6.2 means that a woman will give birth to an average of 6.2 children during her childbearing years. The correct answer is A as it accurately reflects the concept of Total Fertility Rate. Choice B is incorrect as it misinterprets the concept by equating it to a percentage of time being pregnant. Choice C is incorrect as it does not relate to the Total Fertility Rate but rather to the success rate of deliveries. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces the idea of medical intervention, which is not directly related to the Total Fertility Rate.

2. Which component of reproductive health ensures the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the health care system?

• A. Safe motherhood
• B. Adolescent health and development
• C. Health service delivery
• D. Reproductive health information

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Health service delivery is the component of reproductive health that specifically focuses on ensuring the provision of quality reproductive health services at all levels of the healthcare system. While safe motherhood and adolescent health are important aspects of reproductive health, they do not directly address the quality of health services delivery. Reproductive health information, although crucial, is not the component responsible for ensuring the quality of services provided.

3. By which name is family planning currently known?

• A. Reproductive and child care
• B. Family and child care
• C. Reproductive and child health
• D. Reproductive and child health care

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Family planning is currently known as Reproductive and Child Health (RCH). It encompasses a broader scope beyond just care, focusing on the overall health aspects related to reproduction and child well-being. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the comprehensive nature of family planning under the term Reproductive and Child Health.

4. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) affects the fallopian tubes resulting in a condition called:

• A. Oophoritis
• B. Endometritis
• C. Salpingectomy
• D. Salpingitis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is known to affect the fallopian tubes, leading to inflammation, which is termed as salpingitis. Choice A, Oophoritis, refers to inflammation of the ovaries, not the fallopian tubes. Choice B, Endometritis, is inflammation of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes. Choice C, Salpingectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove a fallopian tube and is not a condition caused by PID.

5. Legislation allowing nursing staff to provide contraceptives has resulted in all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. More nursing staff have been trained to provide family planning services
• B. Many population and family planning organizations have emerged
• C. Enhanced implementation of population and family planning programs
• D. Male involvement in family planning services

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Male involvement in family planning services has not significantly resulted from legislation allowing nursing staff to provide contraceptives. While legislation has led to more nursing staff being trained, the emergence of population and family planning organizations, and enhanced implementation of programs, it has not directly impacted male involvement in family planning.
