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. 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.

3. What are the Carunculae Myrtiformes?

• A. Tissues between the vagina and the perineum
• B. A component of the clitoral prepuce
• C. The remnants of the torn hymen
• D. Structures that partially close the vaginal introitus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Carunculae Myrtiformes are the remnants of the torn hymen. They are not tissues between the vagina and the perineum (Choice A), a part of the clitoral prepuce (Choice B), or structures that partially close the vaginal introitus (Choice D). Understanding the anatomy of the female reproductive system is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide accurate care and information.

4. How many autosomes does a human primary spermatocyte have?

• A. 34
• B. 44
• C. 54
• D. 33

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A human primary spermatocyte has 44 autosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes that are not involved in determining an individual's sex. In humans, there are a total of 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. Therefore, the correct answer is 44 autosomes, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate number of autosomes in a human primary spermatocyte.

5. What does confidentiality in reproductive health services mean?

• A. All information regarding the patient is discussed only between the patient, provider, and supervisors.
• B. Sharing patient information with all healthcare staff.
• C. Sharing patient information with their family members.
• D. Allowing patient information to be discussed in public areas.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Confidentiality in reproductive health services means that all information regarding the patient should be discussed only among the patient, provider, and supervisors involved in their care. Choice B is incorrect because sharing patient information with all healthcare staff goes against the principle of confidentiality. Choice C is incorrect because sharing patient information with family members should only be done with the patient's explicit consent. Choice D is incorrect as allowing patient information to be discussed in public areas violates patient privacy and confidentiality.
