Question 1 of 5
Estimate the number of 1-4 year old children who be given Retinol capsule 200.000 every 6 months.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (2,000). To estimate the number of children to be given Retinol capsule 200,000 every 6 months, we consider the age group of 1-4 years old. Assuming an average lifespan of 4 years per child, we divide the total number of capsules (200,000) by the frequency of administration every 6 months. So, 200,000 / 6 months = 33,333 capsules per month. Since we are targeting children aged 1-4 years, we multiply this by the number of months per age group (4 years * 12 months = 48 months). Therefore, 33,333 capsules/month * 48 months = 1,600,000 capsules. Considering some children may not require the capsules or may miss doses, we round down to the nearest feasible number, which is 2,000 children (option C). Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align
Question 2 of 5
Knowing that malnutrition is a frequent community health problem, you decided to conduct nutritional assessment. What population is particularly susceptible to protein energy malnutrition (PEM)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Under 5 year old children. Young children are particularly susceptible to Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) due to their high nutritional needs for growth and development. They have limited food intake capacity and are dependent on caregivers for proper nutrition. The risk of malnutrition is highest in this age group as they are vulnerable to infections and have rapid growth rates. Pregnant women and the elderly (Option A) have specific nutritional requirements but are not as susceptible to PEM as under 5 year old children. The other options, 1-4 year old children (Option C) and school-age children (Option D), are also at risk of malnutrition but not as vulnerable as children under 5 years old.
Question 3 of 5
46 babies were born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks affer they were born. They were 4 recorded stillbirths. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the neonatal mortality rate, we need to consider the number of babies who died within the first 28 days of life (2 deaths) and the total number of live births (46 babies - 4 stillbirths = 42 live births). Neonatal Mortality Rate = (Number of neonatal deaths / Number of live births) x 1000 = (2 / 42) x 1000 = 47.6/1000 Therefore, the correct answer is C: 86.9/1000, as it is the closest to the calculated rate of 47.6/1000. Other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the actual calculation based on the given data. Choice A is too low, choice B is slightly higher, and choice D is significantly higher than the calculated rate of 47.6/1000.
Question 4 of 5
What numerator is used in computing general fertility rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Number of registered live births. General fertility rate is calculated by dividing the number of live births in a given population by the total number of females in the reproductive age group (usually 15-49 years old). This rate helps assess the fertility patterns in a population. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Estimated midyear population is used in calculating birth rate, not general fertility rate. C: Number of pregnancies in the year includes both live births and stillbirths, not specific to live births only. D: Number of females of reproductive age is used in calculating fertility rates, but it is not the numerator for general fertility rate specifically.
Question 5 of 5
In the conduct of a census, the method of population assignment based on the actual physical location of the people is termed;
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: De jure. De jure means "by law," and in the context of a census, it refers to assigning individuals to a specific location based on legal residence. This method ensures that each individual is counted in the correct location according to official records and legal status. Choice B: De locus is not a recognized term in the context of census methodology. Choice C: De facto refers to a situation that exists in fact but may not be officially recognized or legally established. This is not the appropriate method for census population assignment. Choice D: De novo means "from the beginning" and is not relevant to the method of population assignment in a census based on physical location.
