Following statements are given regarding MTP. Choose the correct options given below: -
i. MTPs are generally advised during the first trimester
ii. MTPs are used as a contraceptive method
iii. MTPs are always surgical
iv. MTPs require the assistance of qualified medical personnel
(a) ii and iii (b) ii and iii (c) i and iv (d) i and ii
The answer is the option (c) i and iv
Explanation: Curettage of the foetus (by inserting a suitable tool in the uterus) is required for MTP, and all this does not include any surgery. MTP is usually carried out after the contraception is done; therefore it cannot be a contraceptive method. So, option (i) and (iv) are correct.
