Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Oxytocin
Concept:

A single hormone coordinates both the delivery of a newborn and its subsequent nourishment.

Solution:

  • Oxytocin is massively released during childbirth to force the uterus to contract.


  • Immediately following birth, the same hormone is utilized during nursing to squeeze milk out of the alveolar ducts in the breast.


Why other options are incorrect:

Progesterone levels actually plummet right before childbirth. Calcitonin is for bone mineralization.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
