1. What phase corresponds with the luteal phase?

• A. Menstrual phase
• B. Follicular phase
• C. Secretory phase
• D. Menstrual phase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The luteal phase corresponds with the secretory phase. During the menstrual cycle, the luteal phase follows ovulation and is characterized by the development of the corpus luteum, secreting progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a potential pregnancy. The other choices, menstrual phase (A), follicular phase (B), and the repeated choice of menstrual phase (D) do not align with the luteal phase and its functions.

2. What is the measurement of the breast areola?

• A. 3.5cm
• B. 2.5cm
• C. 4.5cm
• D. 1.5cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 2.5 cm. The average measurement of the areola is approximately 2.5 cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the typical measurement of the breast areola.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following are layers of the anterior abdominal wall?

• A. Linear albicantes
• B. Superficial fascia
• C. Visceral peritoneum
• D. Fascia transversalis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Linear albicantes and B: Superficial fascia. Linear albicantes are stretch marks, and the superficial fascia is one of the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. Choices C and D, Visceral peritoneum and Fascia transversalis, respectively, are not layers of the anterior abdominal wall. The visceral peritoneum is a membrane covering the abdominal organs, and the fascia transversalis is a layer deep to the transversus abdominis muscle.

5. When does missed abortion occur?

• A. The fetus dies and is retained in utero with the placenta and membranes.
• B. All products of conception are expelled with minimal bleeding.
• C. The cervix remains closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus.
• D. The cervix remains closed, but there is heavy bleeding.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Missed abortion occurs when the cervix is closed, and the products of conception remain in the uterus. Choice A describes a missed abortion, not choice C. Choice B describes a complete abortion. Choice D describes a threatened abortion, where the cervix remains closed but there is heavy bleeding.
