1. What does the umbilical cord contain?

• A. Pluripotent stem cells
• B. Cord blood stem cells
• C. Blood stem cells
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cord blood stem cells. The umbilical cord contains stem cells that are found in cord blood, known as cord blood stem cells. These stem cells have the potential to develop into various types of cells and are used in medical treatments. Pluripotent stem cells are typically found in embryos and have the ability to develop into any type of cell in the body, not specifically in the umbilical cord. Choice C, blood stem cells, is a vague term that does not specifically refer to the stem cells found in the umbilical cord. Choice D is incorrect as the umbilical cord does contain cord blood stem cells.

2. Which policy was formally launched to target reducing population growth, making family planning services available, accessible, and affordable to all eligible users?

• A. The reproductive health policy
• B. The ministry of health policy
• C. Gender and health policy
• D. The national population policy

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, the national population policy. This policy was specifically launched to address population growth by providing access to family planning services. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly focus on population control and family planning services, which are the primary objectives of the national population policy.

3. Which of the following is not a complication of menopause?

• A. Fractures
• B. Alzheimer's disease
• C. Congestive heart failure
• D. Painful intercourse

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Congestive heart failure is not typically associated with menopause. Menopause is linked to an increased risk of fractures due to bone density loss, a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease due to hormonal changes, and painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness and thinning of tissues. While cardiovascular health can be affected by menopause, congestive heart failure is not a direct complication associated with menopause.

4. Which of the following is not a characteristic of an ideal contraceptive?

• A. Irreversible
• B. Easily available
• C. User-friendly
• D. Effective with least side effects

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Irreversible.' An ideal contraceptive should not be irreversible because it should allow individuals to have the option to discontinue its use if desired. Choices B, C, and D are characteristics of an ideal contraceptive. Contraceptives should be easily available to ensure widespread accessibility, user-friendly to promote proper and consistent use, and effective with minimal side effects to maximize safety and tolerability.

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.
