1. 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.

2. What does Informed Consent mean?

• A. A patient has the right to know what a procedure involves before it is performed.
• B. Forcing all patients scheduled for surgery to sign a consent form.
• C. Telling the patient to sign the consent form without explanation.
• D. Allowing patients to undergo procedures without their consent.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Informed Consent means that a patient has the right to be informed about what a procedure involves before it is performed. Choice B is incorrect because consent should not be forced, and patients should have the opportunity to understand what they are agreeing to. Choice C is incorrect as it goes against the essence of informed consent, which requires explanation. Choice D is incorrect as it contradicts the fundamental principle of requiring patient consent before procedures.

3. Which of the following is a function of the placenta?

• A. The placenta secretes insulin.
• B. The placenta facilitates the exchange of gases and nutrients between mother and fetus.
• C. The placenta provides immunological protection to the fetus.
• D. The placenta stores fat-soluble vitamins for the fetus.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The placenta serves as a crucial organ during pregnancy, facilitating the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and nutrients (such as glucose and amino acids) between the mother and the developing fetus. This exchange is vital for the fetus's growth and development. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. The placenta does not secrete insulin; insulin is produced by the pancreas. While the placenta provides some immune support to the fetus, its main role is not immunological protection. Additionally, storing fat-soluble vitamins is not a primary function of the placenta.

4. The programs aimed at achieving total reproductive health as a social goal at the national level are called:

• A. Family organization
• B. Family planning
• C. Reproductive care
• D. Reproductive health

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Reproductive health.' Reproductive health programs focus on ensuring overall well-being in relation to reproduction, including access to reproductive services, education, and healthcare. Choice A, 'Family organization,' does not specifically address health aspects related to reproduction. Choice B, 'Family planning,' is more focused on birth control and family size rather than the broader aspects of reproductive health. Choice C, 'Reproductive care,' is limited to the aspect of medical care and does not encompass the comprehensive approach of reproductive health programs.

5. What are the external organs of the female collectively known as?

• A. Vulva
• B. Frenulum
• C. Mons veneris
• D. Vestibule

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vulva. The external organs of the female reproductive system, including the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal opening, and Bartholin's glands, are collectively known as the vulva. Choice B, Frenulum, is incorrect as it refers to a small band of tissue. Choice C, Mons veneris, specifically refers to the rounded mass of fatty tissue located over the pubic bone, not all external female reproductive organs. Choice D, Vestibule, is incorrect as it is the space enclosed by the labia minora that includes the vaginal and urethral openings, not all external female reproductive organs.
