1. 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 affecting the brain, and painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness and decreased lubrication. While cardiovascular health can be affected by menopause, congestive heart failure is not a direct complication of menopause.

2. What is the primary purpose of using pethidine?

• A. Relieve constriction ring.
• B. Relieve pain.
• C. Affect milk production.
• D. Induce labor.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Pethidine is primarily used to relieve pain. It is an opioid analgesic commonly used for pain relief in various medical settings. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as pethidine is not indicated for relieving constriction ring, affecting milk production, or inducing labor.

3. 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.

4. At 34-40 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

• A. Nipples become prominent and mobile.
• B. Colostrum can be expressed.
• C. Breasts become tender.
• D. Montgomery's tubercles are prominent.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During the 34-40 weeks of pregnancy, Montgomery's tubercles become prominent. These are sebaceous glands on the areola, not the nipples. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the changes in nipples, not Montgomery's tubercles. Choice B is incorrect as colostrum production usually starts around the 16th week. Choice C is incorrect as breast tenderness is more common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

5. What is the most common symptom in all clinical types of abortion EXCEPT:

• A. Lower abdominal pain
• B. Per vaginal bleeding
• C. Show
• D. Backache

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Show' is not a common symptom in all types of abortion. Lower abdominal pain, per vaginal bleeding, and backache are common symptoms associated with abortion. Lower abdominal pain may result from uterine contractions, per vaginal bleeding is a typical presentation, and backache can be a symptom due to the process of abortion. 'Show' refers to the mucus plug that blocks the cervix during pregnancy and is not a typical symptom of abortion.
