Which of the two hormone promote gluconeogesis and lipolysis?
-
Cortisol and epinephrine
-
Thyroxine and cortisol
-
Glucagon and thyroxin
-
Insulin nad Glugagon
Correct Answer
A. Thyroxine and cortisolExplanation
Thyroxine and cortisol are the two hormones that promote gluconeogenesis and lipolysis. Gluconeogenesis is the process of producing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and glycerol. Cortisol stimulates gluconeogenesis by increasing the breakdown of protein and fat to provide substrates for glucose production. Lipolysis is the breakdown of stored fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Thyroxine increases lipolysis by enhancing the activity of enzymes involved in this process. Therefore, both thyroxine and cortisol play important roles in promoting the production of glucose and the breakdown of fats for energy.Rate this question:

pH of normal semen is
-
8.5-9.3
-
7.2-7.8
-
5.5-6.5
-
3.5-4.5
Correct Answer
A. 7.2-7.8Explanation
The pH of normal semen is 7.2-7.8. This range is considered normal for semen pH. The pH level of semen is important because it affects the survival and motility of sperm. The slightly alkaline pH of semen helps to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina, allowing the sperm to survive and swim more effectively. If the pH of semen is outside of the normal range, it could indicate an underlying issue with fertility or sperm health.Rate this question:

Fibroid uterus is more common in
-
After 35 years of age
-
Multiparity
-
Postmenopausal woman
-
Nulliparous woman
Correct Answer
A. Nulliparous womanExplanation
Nulliparous woman refers to a woman who has never given birth to a child. The correct answer suggests that fibroid uterus is more common in nulliparous women. This can be explained by the fact that pregnancy and childbirth have a protective effect against the development of fibroids. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and the stretching of the uterus during childbirth may help prevent the growth of fibroids. Therefore, women who have never been pregnant are more likely to develop fibroid uterus.Rate this question:

Cause of primary amenorrhoea include,except
-
Turner's syndrome
-
Transverse vaginal fistula
-
Hypersecretion of FSh
-
Hypogonadotrotrophic hypogonadism.
Correct Answer
A. Hypersecretion of FShExplanation
The cause of primary amenorrhoea can be attributed to various factors such as Turner's syndrome, transverse vaginal fistula, and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. However, hypersecretion of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is not a cause of primary amenorrhoea. FSH is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles, and hypersecretion of FSH would actually result in increased ovarian activity and potentially lead to early puberty or irregular menstrual cycles, rather than amenorrhoea.Rate this question:

What is the commonest cause of Postpartum Hemorrhage?
-
Atonicity of uterus.
-
Subinvolution.
-
Birth Injury.
-
Puerperal sepsis.
Correct Answer
A. Atonicity of uterus.Explanation
Postpartum hemorrhage refers to excessive bleeding after childbirth. Atonicity of the uterus refers to the inability of the uterine muscles to contract effectively, leading to inadequate compression of the blood vessels. This can result in the commonest cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Subinvolution, which is the delayed return of the uterus to its pre-pregnancy state, and birth injury can also contribute to postpartum hemorrhage but are not as common as atonicity of the uterus. Puerperal sepsis, which is an infection of the reproductive tract after childbirth, is not directly related to the commonest cause of postpartum hemorrhage.Rate this question:

-
6kg
-
8Kg
-
11Kg
-
14Kg
Correct Answer
A. 11KgExplanation
During pregnancy, it is normal for a woman to gain weight due to the growth of the baby, increased blood volume, and changes in the body. The average recommended weight gain during pregnancy is around 11 kg. This weight gain is important for the healthy development of the baby and to provide necessary nutrients. However, it is important to note that the actual weight gain can vary depending on factors such as pre-pregnancy weight, overall health, and individual circumstances.Rate this question:

Which of the following is the management of partial placenta previa?
-
Cesarean section.
-
Blood transfusion.
-
D & C.
-
Complete bed rest.
Correct Answer
A. Complete bed rest.Explanation
Partial placenta previa is a condition where the placenta partially covers the cervix during pregnancy. This can lead to bleeding and complications during labor. The management of partial placenta previa typically involves conservative measures to minimize the risk of bleeding and promote a healthy pregnancy. Complete bed rest is often recommended to reduce physical activity and pressure on the placenta, which can help prevent further complications. Cesarean section may be necessary if bleeding becomes severe or if there are other complications, but it is not the initial management approach. Blood transfusion may be required if there is significant bleeding, but it is not the primary management strategy. D&C (dilation and curettage) is a procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus and is not relevant for the management of placenta previa.Rate this question:

When will the uterus normally reaches the level of xiphisternum?
-
32 weeks.
-
36 weeks.
-
40 weeks
-
42 weeks.
Correct Answer
A. 36 weeks.Explanation
The uterus normally reaches the level of the xiphisternum at 36 weeks. This is because as the pregnancy progresses, the uterus grows and expands to accommodate the growing fetus. By 36 weeks, the uterus has typically reached the level of the xiphisternum, which is the lower tip of the sternum or breastbone. This milestone is important as it indicates that the uterus has reached its maximum size and is preparing for labor and delivery.Rate this question:

What do you mean by fetal macrosomia?
-
Birth weight less than 1.5 kg.
-
Large size head of a newborn.
-
Fetal distress.
-
Birth weight more than 4.5kg.
Correct Answer
A. Birth weight more than 4.5kg.Explanation
Fetal macrosomia refers to a condition where a baby is born with a birth weight of more than 4.5kg. This condition can occur due to factors such as maternal diabetes, genetics, or maternal obesity. Fetal macrosomia can pose risks during delivery, such as shoulder dystocia or birth injuries. It may also increase the likelihood of long-term health problems for the baby, such as obesity or diabetes. Therefore, identifying and managing fetal macrosomia is important for the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby.Rate this question:

Which is the main source of estrogen and progesterone after the 3 months of pregnancy?
-
Hypothalamus
-
Pituitary gland.
-
Placenta.
-
Ovary.
Correct Answer
A. Placenta.Explanation
During the first three months of pregnancy, the main source of estrogen and progesterone is the ovary. However, after this period, the placenta takes over as the main source of these hormones. The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy and is responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. It also produces hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, which are crucial for maintaining the pregnancy and supporting fetal development. Therefore, the correct answer is placenta.Rate this question:

During labour, station +1 indicates that the presenting part is?
-
High in the false pelvis
-
On the perineum
-
Slightly below the ischial spine
-
Slightly above the ischial spine
Correct Answer
A. Slightly below the ischial spineExplanation
During labor, the term "station +1" refers to the position of the presenting part of the baby in relation to the ischial spine. In this case, the correct answer is "slightly below the ischial spine." This means that the baby's head or presenting part is not yet engaged in the pelvis but is descending and getting closer to the ischial spine. As labor progresses, the presenting part will continue to descend further until it reaches the ischial spine (station 0) and eventually moves below it (station -1, -2, etc.).Rate this question:

A histogram (hysterosalpingography [HSG]) is performed to determine whether there is a tubal obstruction. The nurse concludes that infertility caused by a defect in the tube
-
Tubal injury
-
Past infection.
-
Fibroid tumor.
-
Congenital anomaly.
Correct Answer
A. Past infection.Explanation
The nurse concludes that past infection is the cause of infertility because a hysterosalpingography (HSG) is performed to determine if there is a tubal obstruction. Tubal obstruction can occur as a result of past infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause scarring and blockage of the fallopian tubes. This can prevent the sperm from reaching the egg, leading to infertility. Therefore, past infection is the most likely explanation for the tubal obstruction observed in the HSG.Rate this question:

The nurse, collecting data on the reproductive system from a female patient, is told that the patient has a vaginal discharge that is cottage cheese-like in appearance. The nurse recognizes this as a common sign of?
-
Pelvic inflammatory disease
-
Trichomonas vaginalis
-
Atrophic vaginitis
-
Candida albicans infections
Correct Answer
A. Candida albicans infectionsExplanation
The patient's description of a cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge is indicative of a Candida albicans infection. Candida albicans is a type of yeast that commonly causes vaginal yeast infections. Symptoms of a Candida infection include itching, burning, and a thick, white discharge that resembles cottage cheese. Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of the reproductive organs that typically causes lower abdominal pain and fever. Trichomonas vaginalis is a sexually transmitted infection that causes a frothy, yellow-green vaginal discharge. Atrophic vaginitis is a condition that occurs due to decreased estrogen levels and causes thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls, but it does not typically cause a cottage cheese-like discharge.Rate this question:

Menstruation is unrelated with ovulation and anovular menstruation is quite common during adolescence, following child birth and in women approaching menopause.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Menstruation and ovulation are two separate processes in the female reproductive system. Menstruation refers to the shedding of the uterine lining, while ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. It is possible for a woman to have a menstrual period without ovulating, which is known as anovular menstruation. This can occur during adolescence when the menstrual cycle is still regulating, after childbirth when the body is recovering, and in women approaching menopause when hormonal changes can disrupt ovulation. Therefore, it is true that anovular menstruation is quite common during these stages.Rate this question:

The process of stimulation of uterine contractions (both in frequency and intensity) that are already present but found to be inadequate is known as?
-
Induction of labour
-
Augmentation of labour
-
Stripping the membrane
-
Cervical ripening
Correct Answer
A. Augmentation of labourExplanation
Augmentation of labor refers to the process of stimulating uterine contractions that are already present but are found to be inadequate. This can be done by various methods such as administering oxytocin or rupturing the membranes. The goal is to strengthen and increase the frequency of contractions in order to progress labor and facilitate the delivery of the baby. Induction of labor, on the other hand, refers to initiating labor when it has not yet started spontaneously. Stripping the membranes and cervical ripening are also methods used to induce labor.Rate this question:

Which of the following condition is not an indication for induction of labour?
-
Postmaturity
-
Intrauterine fetal death
-
Premature rupture of the membrane
-
Umbilical cord prolapse.
Correct Answer
A. Umbilical cord prolapse.Explanation
Umbilical cord prolapse is not an indication for induction of labor. Induction of labor is typically done for medical reasons when it is safer for the mother or baby to deliver the baby earlier than waiting for natural labor to begin. Postmaturity, intrauterine fetal death, and premature rupture of the membrane are all conditions that may require induction of labor to prevent complications or ensure the health and safety of the mother and baby. Umbilical cord prolapse, on the other hand, is a rare emergency situation that occurs when the umbilical cord slips through the cervix ahead of the baby, potentially cutting off the baby's oxygen supply. It requires immediate medical attention, but induction of labor is not the appropriate treatment for this condition.Rate this question:

Which route of administration of prostaglandins for induction of labour having fewer side effects?
-
Oral
-
Intravenous
-
Intramuscular
-
Transvaginal
Correct Answer
A. TransvaginalExplanation
Transvaginal administration of prostaglandins for induction of labor is considered to have fewer side effects compared to other routes of administration. This is because transvaginal administration allows for direct delivery of the medication to the cervix, resulting in a more targeted effect. It also reduces the systemic absorption of the drug, minimizing the risk of systemic side effects. Therefore, transvaginal administration is preferred over oral, intravenous, and intramuscular routes for inducing labor with fewer side effects.Rate this question:
