Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The typical average menstrual cycle length is about 28 days, though normal ranges from roughly 21 to 35 days.

Question 3

In a patient with preeclampsia, which of the following is NOT a typical feature?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Preeclampsia is characterized by new-onset hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation with proteinuria and often edema. Hyperglycemia is not part of preeclampsia and is more consistent with gestational diabetes.

Question 4

What is the type of fetal presentation shown in the options?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Cephalic presentation is when the fetal head is the presenting part at the cervix; this is the standard and most common fetal presentation.

Question 5

In the testis, which cells produce sperm?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Sperm are derived from germ cells (spermatogonia) in the seminiferous tubules; Sertoli cells provide support and epithelial cells do not produce sperm.

Answer reason: Endometriosis is defined by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma located outside the uterine cavity; it is not an infection, malignancy, or tubal blockage.

Question 8

What is the inflammation of the testes known as?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The root orchi- refers to testis and -itis means inflammation; thus inflammation of the testes is orchitis. Cystitis is bladder inflammation, otitis is ear inflammation, and oophoritis is ovarian inflammation.

Question 9

What is removed in a hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus; removal of ovaries is oophorectomy.

Question 10

The Bartholin's gland is present in which anatomical location?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Bartholin (greater vestibular) glands lie in the vulvar vestibule at the posterior aspect of the vaginal opening, providing lubrication. Among the options, this corresponds to the vagina.

Question 11

What is the name of the first milk a woman gives to her baby after birth?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The initial secretion from the mammary glands after birth is colostrum, a thick, antibody-rich milk that precedes mature breast milk.

Question 12

What does greenish yellow color amniotic fluid indicate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Greenish-yellow amniotic fluid indicates meconium staining that commonly occurs with postmaturity.

Question 13

What is the appropriate treatment for a hydatidiform mole in a 40-year-old woman?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The standard management of a molar pregnancy is evacuation of the uterus by vacuum (suction) aspiration, which is preferred over sharp curettage; hysterectomy is reserved for selected cases when fertility is not desired.

Question 14

What is the normal gestation period in women?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Normal human pregnancy lasts about 280 days (40 weeks) from the last menstrual period.

Question 15

What is the medical term for painful menstrual bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Painful menstruation is termed dysmenorrhea; the other options refer to different conditions (endometriosis, fibroids, bladder inflammation).

Question 16

Which of the following is the least common variety of pelvis?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Among the classic pelvic types, the platypelloid pelvis is the rarest (least common).

Question 17

Four days after delivery, a client develops complications of postpartal hemorrhage. The most common cause of late postpartal hemorrhage is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Late postpartum hemorrhage (24 hours to 6 weeks) is most commonly due to retained placental fragments causing subinvolution; uterine atony is more typical of early PPH.

Question 18

What is the process called when male and female gametes fuse in plants?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Fusion of male and female gametes is fertilization (also termed syngamy). Pollination is only the transfer of pollen, and conjugation is a different reproductive process in microorganisms.

Question 19

How does human sperm locomote?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Human sperm move by the whip-like motion of a single flagellum (tail). Neutrophils are leukocytes, cilia are not used by sperm, and 'None' is incorrect.

Question 20

Which hormone is responsible for the maturation of the follicles?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: FSH from the anterior pituitary stimulates growth and maturation of ovarian follicles; LH triggers ovulation, progesterone maintains the endometrium, and thyroxine is a thyroid hormone.

Question 21

DNA is present in which part of the sperm?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The genetic material is contained in the nucleus located in the head of the sperm; the midpiece contains mitochondria and the tail provides motility.

Question 22

What is the term for infection of the genital tract due to a complication of delivery?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Puerperal sepsis is the term for postpartum infection of the genital tract occurring after delivery.

Question 23

How many contractions does a pregnant woman have at 31 weeks of gestation?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: By around 30–32 weeks, normal Braxton Hicks uterine activity commonly occurs at roughly five contractions per hour; thus the expected number is 5.

Question 24

What is the length of the fallopian tube?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The uterine (fallopian) tube measures about 10 cm in adults; commonly cited range is approximately 8–10 cm.

Question 25

What will be the attitude of the head during face and brow presentation?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Face presentation requires complete extension of the fetal head (brow is partial extension). Among the options, complete extension best represents the attitude in these presentations.

Question 26

What is the medical term for white discharge from the vagina?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Leucorrhea is the term for white vaginal discharge. Menorrhagia is heavy menstrual bleeding, menarche is the first menstruation, and otorrhoea is ear discharge.

Question 27

Which part of the male reproductive system transfers sperm into the woman?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The penis deposits semen into the female reproductive tract during intercourse. Testes produce sperm, the scrotum houses the testes, and the urethra is a passage; the organ that transfers sperm is the penis.

Question 28

Which procedure involves cutting the vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering the semen?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A vasectomy involves cutting or occluding the vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering the ejaculate.

Question 29

What is the average length of the menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Typical menstrual cycle averages 28 days, with a normal range of about 21–35 days.

Question 30

DNA is present in which part of the sperm?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The sperm’s nuclear DNA is located in the head, which contains the nucleus; the midpiece (body) has mitochondria and the tail provides motility.

Question 31

During a circumcision procedure, which part is surgically removed?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Circumcision removes the foreskin (prepuce) of the penis; the penis, testis, and corpus spongiosum are not removed.

Question 32

Which part of the sperm contains the enzymes necessary to penetrate the egg?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The acrosome, a cap on the sperm head, contains hydrolytic enzymes (e.g., acrosin) that digest the zona pellucida, allowing penetration of the egg.

Question 33

What is the term for the first menstruation in a female?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Menarche is the first menstrual period; amenorrhea is absence of menses, dysmenorrhea is painful menses, and menopause is permanent cessation.

Question 34

Of all the factors listed below that influence the mechanism of labour and vacuum delivery which one is the least variable?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Head size and weight are essentially fixed for a given fetus during labor, whereas contractions, maternal effort, molding and caput, fetal position/attitude, and tissue resistance vary considerably. Thus, the least variable factor is the size and weight of the fetal head.

Question 35

Aregash is a 24 years old mother. She presents to the clinic with a complaint of excessive amount of menstrual bleeding. What will be your pattern diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Excessive menstrual blood loss is termed menorrhagia (hypermenorrhea). Hypomenorrhea is scanty flow, metrorrhagia is bleeding between periods, and polymenorrhea is too-frequent menses.

Question 36

Amarech is a 28 years old female, she comes to the health center and complains absence of menses for the last three months. She reported that she was having regular menstrual cycles before six months. This is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Secondary amenorrhea is defined as the absence of menses for at least 3 months in a woman who previously had menstruation; this matches the scenario.

Question 37

Definition of abortion in Ethiopia?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Ethiopia defines abortion based on fetal nonviability at GA

Question 38

Which of the following is/are mismatched with its management?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Each pairing is appropriate: threatened abortion is typically managed expectantly with pelvic/bed rest; inevitable and incomplete abortions are managed by uterine evacuation via medical or surgical methods. Therefore none are mismatched.

Question 39

Which of the following regarding uterine descent is not correct?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: In first-degree uterine prolapse, the cervix descends but does not protrude beyond the vulva; protrusion occurs with higher degrees. Thus option B misstates first-degree descent.

Question 40

Which of the following are etiologies of uterovaginal prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Pelvic organ prolapse is associated with aging and estrogen deficiency, connective-tissue (collagen) weakness, chronic elevated intraabdominal pressure, and obstetric trauma from vaginal deliveries—thus all listed factors are etiologies.

Question 41

Following are the first level of support in DeLancy system?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: DeLancey Level I (apical) support is provided by the uterosacral–cardinal ligament complex. Among the options, only the cardinal ligament belongs to Level I; the others are Level II or III supports.

Question 42

Which of the following is not an indication for use of pessary?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Pessaries are indicated when surgery is refused or deferred (e.g., plans for future childbearing), during pregnancy, and as a therapeutic/diagnostic test. An actively non-healing decubitus (vaginal) ulcer is a contraindication until healed, so it is not an indication.

Question 43

Ayantu is a 27 years old para-I (still birth) lady presented with 3rd degree prolapse, management can be all except?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: In a 27-year-old who likely desires future fertility, uterine-sparing options (Fothergill’s/Manchester operation, uterine sling procedures, or temporary pessary) are appropriate. Vaginal hysterectomy removes the uterus and is not suitable for a young woman wanting fertility, thus the exception.

Question 44

One of the following cause for PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE is different from others?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Menopause is a non-obstetric cause related to atrophic pelvic support; the other options are obstetric/labor-related traumatic factors contributing to pelvic organ prolapse.

Question 45

Which stage of Gestational Trophoblastic Tumour is characterized by extension to the adnexae, outside the uterus, but more or less limited to the genital structures?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: FIGO staging for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: Stage I confined to uterus; Stage II extends outside the uterus but limited to genital structures (adnexa, vagina, broad ligament); Stage III involves lungs; Stage IV other metastases. Thus the description matches Stage II.

Question 46

While taking history about reproductive system patient stated about excessive per vaginal bleeding for 15 days. You as a nurse know(s), about the normal menstrual days?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Normal menstruation lasts about 3–7 days; commonly cited as 5–7 days. Thus 15 days of bleeding is abnormal.

Question 47

Which of the following is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Eclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by severe preeclampsia with seizures. The other options are not hypertensive conditions.

Question 48

Which structure secretes estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Estrogen is primarily produced by granulosa cells of developing ovarian (Graafian) follicles; the corpus luteum mainly secretes progesterone.

Question 49

What hormone does the corpus luteum secrete?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: The corpus luteum primarily secretes progesterone to maintain the endometrium; LH and FSH are pituitary hormones, and estrogen is not the main secretion of the corpus luteum.

Question 50

What is the average blood loss during a cesarean section delivery?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Typical estimated average blood loss for cesarean delivery is around 600–750 mL, higher than vaginal delivery (~400–500 mL) but below the 1000 mL threshold used to define hemorrhage.
