Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is a function of epidemiology?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because epidemiology focuses on studying the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations. By determining factors contributing to pneumonia in a 3-year-old, epidemiology helps understand the causes and risk factors of the disease at a population level. This information can lead to preventive measures and targeted interventions. A is incorrect because identifying disease conditions based on client manifestations is more related to clinical diagnosis. C is incorrect as it pertains to pharmacology and clinical trials. D is incorrect because evaluating the effectiveness of program implementations is more aligned with program evaluation rather than epidemiology.
