Question 1 of 9
Freedom of choice is one of the policies of the Family Planning Program of the Philippines. Which of the following illustrates this principle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it directly aligns with the principle of freedom of choice in family planning. Providing couples with adequate information regarding different methods empowers them to make informed decisions based on their preferences and circumstances. This choice respects individual autonomy and allows couples to choose the method that best suits their needs. Incorrect Choices: A: Information dissemination is important but does not necessarily guarantee freedom of choice. B: Supporting research and development is beneficial but does not directly relate to the freedom of choice for couples. D: Encouraging joint responsibility is valuable for promoting communication, but it does not explicitly ensure freedom of choice for individuals.
Question 2 of 9
What care is given to a woman within a month after the delivery of a baby?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Post-natal care. Post-natal care refers to the care given to a woman within a month after delivering a baby. This care is crucial for monitoring the mother's physical and emotional health, providing support with breastfeeding, ensuring proper healing, and addressing any postpartum complications. Follow-up care (A) is a general term that may include various types of care beyond the immediate post-natal period. Maternity care (B) typically refers to the care provided during pregnancy and childbirth, not specifically after delivery. Puerperal care (C) specifically focuses on the period immediately following childbirth and may not encompass the entire month post-delivery.
Question 3 of 9
Which statistic best reflects the nutritional status of a population?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1-4 year old age-specific mortality rate. This statistic reflects the overall health and nutritional status of a population by focusing on a specific age group vulnerable to malnutrition-related issues. It provides a comprehensive view of the impact of nutrition on child health and development. Proportionate mortality rate (B) measures the distribution of causes of death, not specifically related to nutrition. Infant mortality rate (C) focuses on deaths within the first year of life, which may not fully capture the nutritional status of the whole population. Swaroop's index (D) assesses life expectancy and income level, but does not directly measure nutritional status.
Question 4 of 9
Which biological used in Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is stored in the freezer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: OPV. The oral polio vaccine (OPV) used in the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is stored in the freezer to maintain its potency. OPV is a live vaccine that requires cold storage to prevent the virus from becoming inactive. DPT, Hepatitis B vaccine, and Measles vaccine are typically stored in the refrigerator, not the freezer, as they are either killed or attenuated vaccines that remain stable at higher temperatures. Therefore, the need for freezer storage specifically points to OPV as the correct answer.
Question 5 of 9
During prenatal consultation, a client asked you if she can have her delivery at home. After history taking and physical examination, you advised her against a home delivery. Which of the following findings disqualifies her for a home delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The OB score G5P3 means the client has had 5 pregnancies with 3 live births. This indicates a history of multiple pregnancies and deliveries, suggesting a higher risk for complications during labor. This would disqualify her for a home delivery due to the increased potential for obstetric emergencies. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: - B: Palmar pallor may indicate anemia but can be managed in a hospital setting. - C: Blood pressure of 130/80 is within normal range and does not necessarily disqualify her for a home delivery. - D: Cephalic presentation means the baby's head is down, which is a favorable position for delivery and does not disqualify her for a home birth.
Question 6 of 9
You are tasked with collecting data for nutritional assessment of a specific area. You will gather information solely from families with members who are part of the target population for Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM). Which method of data collection is most suitable for this purpose?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most suitable method for collecting data in this scenario is a survey (Choice B). Here's the rationale: 1. Surveys allow for direct interaction with families to gather specific information on PEM. 2. Surveys can be tailored to ask targeted questions related to nutritional status. 3. Surveys provide a structured approach to collecting data from a sample of families. 4. Census (Choice A) collects data from the entire population, not just the target group. 5. Record review (Choice C) may not capture current or specific details on PEM. 6. Review of civil registry (Choice D) focuses on demographic data, not specific nutritional information.
Question 7 of 9
Which of the following is an appropriate site for administration of DPT vaccine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vastus lateralis muscle. The vastus lateralis is a recommended site for administration of DPT vaccine in infants and young children. It is a large muscle located in the thigh, providing a well-developed area for injection with minimal risk of hitting nerves or blood vessels. The site is easily accessible, especially for parents or caregivers administering the vaccine. Choice A (Deltoid muscle) is more commonly used in adults, not preferred for infants. Choices C (Gluteus maximus muscle) and D (Abdomen) are not recommended sites for DPT vaccine administration due to potential risk of hitting sciatic nerve in the gluteal region and abdominal organs in the abdomen, respectively.
Question 8 of 9
In the past year, Barangay A had an average population of 1655. There were 46 babies born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks after birth, and 4 stillbirths were recorded. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The neonatal mortality rate is calculated as the number of neonatal deaths (deaths within the first 28 days of life) divided by the number of live births in a given period, multiplied by 1000. In this case, the number of neonatal deaths is 2 (babies who died less than 4 weeks after birth), and the number of live births is 46 (babies born excluding stillbirths). Therefore, the calculation is (2/46) * 1000 = 43.5/1000. This rate represents the number of neonatal deaths per 1000 live births in Barangay A for that year. Choice B is correct as it accurately represents the neonatal mortality rate based on the information provided. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the calculation using the specific data given.
Question 9 of 9
What is the minimum interval between the administration of two doses of the MMR vaccine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (4 weeks) for the minimum interval between two doses of the MMR vaccine. This interval is necessary for the body to develop a strong immune response to the vaccine components. Waiting at least 4 weeks allows the immune system to properly process and respond to the initial dose before receiving the second dose. Administering the second dose too soon may result in a weaker immune response and decreased effectiveness of the vaccine. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not in line with the recommended minimum interval for effective vaccination.
