The ‘family planning’ programs in India were initiated in:
1. 1947 | 2. 1951 | ||
3. 1957 | 4. 1961 |
A statutory ban on amniocentesis in India was necessary because:
1. | It is very expensive |
2. | It can tell about chromosomal aberrations |
3. | It is an invasive procedure and carries a high risk of abortions |
4. | It can be used for pre-natal sex determination of the fetus leading to female feticides |
The most important measure to check the population explosion in India is:
1. | Enforce one child norm by law with strict penalties for non-compliance |
2. | Progressively increasing the statutory marriage age in males to 25 years |
3. | Motivate smaller families by using contraceptive methods |
4. | Allowing pre-natal sex determination to encourage selective feticide |
All the following are features of an ideal contraceptive except:
1. No or least side effects
2. Very low failure rates
3. No interference in the sexual drive
4. Must be permanent
Natural methods for contraception work on the principle of:
1. | Preventing fertilization |
2. | Preventing implantation |
3. | Preventing ovulation |
4. | Preventing embryo development |
The days of the menstrual cycle during which coitus is avoided in periodic abstinence are:
1. | First 10 days | 2. | Days 10 to 17 |
3. | Day 13 and 14 | 4. | Last 7 days |
The lactational amenorrhea method of contraception is based on the fact that:
1. | Ovulation and menstrual flow does not occur post-conception during intense lactation |
2. | he cervix mucus becomes hostile to sperms after parturition during intense lactation |
3. | Ovulation and menstrual flow does not occur postpartum during intense lactation |
4. | The endometrium is reabsorbed rather than sloughed off during intense lactation |
Lactational amenorrhea is effective up to a maximum period of:
1. | 3 months | 2. | 6 months |
3. | 9 months | 4. | 12 months |
A major non-contraceptive advantage of male barrier contraceptives is that they prevent:
1. | Cancer breast | 2. | STI |
3. | Ectopic pregnancies | 4. | Menstrual irregularities |
Suppression of sperm motility and their fertilizing capacity is the specific mechanism of action of:
1. | Lippes loop | 2. | Multiload 375 |
3. | LNG 20 | 4. | Progestasert |
