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 of the following is not a role of Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs?

• A. Awareness about reproductive health
• B. Providing facilities to build a reproductively healthy society
• C. Providing support to reproductively sick people
• D. Promoting abortion

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Promoting abortion is not a role of the Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs. RCH programs focus on promoting awareness about reproductive health, providing facilities to build a reproductively healthy society, and offering support to reproductively sick individuals. The promotion of abortion is not within the scope of RCH programs, which aim to improve maternal and child health outcomes through education, healthcare services, and support systems.

3. In Reproductive Health services, decision-making about RH matters is mostly done by:

• A. The Woman's parents
• B. The Man's parents
• C. The Husband
• D. The Wife

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In many societies, the husband often plays a significant role in decision-making about reproductive health matters, making choice C the correct answer. While the woman's parents might have some influence in certain cultures, the husband typically has a more direct role in such decisions. Choices A and B are less likely as the focus is on the immediate family unit rather than extended family members. Choice D, the wife, is less common in patriarchal societies where men usually have more authority in decision-making regarding reproductive health matters.

4. Inevitable abortion is characterized by:

• A. Heavy bleeding.
• B. Open os.
• C. Severe cramping.
• D. Light bleeding.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion is characterized by an open os. This condition is associated with heavy bleeding. While severe cramping can be present in inevitable abortion, the key characteristic is the open os, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect because they do not specifically describe the defining feature of inevitable abortion, which is the open os.

5. How can menopause affect health?

• A. Causing conjunctivitis
• B. Leading to colitis or bowel upsets
• C. Increasing the risk of cancer
• D. Triggering urinary infections

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Menopause can lead to changes in the urinary tract, such as decreased estrogen levels, which can increase the likelihood of urinary tract infections. While menopause can impact various aspects of health, including bone density and heart health, it is not directly linked to conjunctivitis, colitis, or an increased risk of cancer. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
