1. Which group of the population does the Maternal nutrition component of IRH improve?

• A. Women and adolescent girls
• B. Pregnant women alone
• C. Pregnant women and all children under five
• D. All adolescents

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Women and adolescent girls. Maternal nutrition programs typically target women of reproductive age and adolescent girls to improve their health outcomes. Option B is incorrect because maternal nutrition initiatives extend beyond just pregnant women. Option C is incorrect because the focus is not on all children under five but specifically on women and adolescent girls. Option D is incorrect because the program does not target all adolescents, but rather women and adolescent girls.

2. The patient about to undergo gynecological surgery is put on nil by mouth for ____ before surgery to prevent aspiration.

• A. 2-4 hours
• B. 3-5 hours
• C. 4-6 hours
• D. 5-7 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Patients undergoing gynecological surgery are typically advised to be nil by mouth for 4-6 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of aspiration. This duration allows the stomach to empty its contents, decreasing the likelihood of regurgitation and aspiration of stomach contents during surgery. Choices A, B, and D have shorter durations and may not provide sufficient time for adequate gastric emptying, increasing the risk of aspiration.

3. What is a Carneous Mole defined as?

• A. Occurs when fluids drain from the blood mole, leaving a fresh firm mass.
• B. Occurs when the ovum dies and is expelled.
• C. Occurs when the fetus dies, and the membranes rupture.
• D. Occurs when the fetus survives after a failed abortion attempt.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A Carneous Mole is defined as when fluids drain from the blood mole, leaving a fresh firm mass. This process leads to the formation of a solid mass resembling tissue. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a different concept known as a missed abortion, where the ovum dies and is expelled. Choice C is incorrect as it describes a situation related to fetal demise and membrane rupture, not specifically the formation of a Carneous Mole. Choice D is incorrect as it refers to a scenario where the fetus survives after a failed abortion attempt, which is distinct from the definition of a Carneous Mole.

4. During which phase of the menstrual cycle does the Graafian follicle rupture?

• A. Regenerative
• B. Menstruation
• C. Ovulation
• D. Proliferative

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ovulation. The Graafian follicle ruptures during the ovulation phase, releasing the mature egg from the ovary. This process marks the midpoint of the menstrual cycle. Choice A, Regenerative, is incorrect as it does not correspond to a specific phase of the menstrual cycle. Choice B, Menstruation, is incorrect because menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining and occurs after ovulation if fertilization does not occur. Choice D, Proliferative, is incorrect as it refers to the phase in which the uterine lining thickens in preparation for a potential embryo implantation, which happens after ovulation.

5. 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.
