Question 3 of 5
Which level of health facility is the usual point of entry of a client into the health care delivery system?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Primary. Primary health facilities are the usual point of entry into the healthcare system as they provide basic and essential healthcare services to individuals. They focus on preventive and primary care, promoting health and well-being. Clients typically start their healthcare journey at primary facilities for initial assessment and treatment. Secondary, intermediate, and tertiary facilities offer more specialized and advanced care, but they are not the primary entry point for clients. Therefore, primary health facilities are the correct answer. Secondary facilities provide more specialized care after referral from primary care. Intermediate facilities are not commonly recognized in the healthcare system. Tertiary facilities offer highly specialized and complex medical services, usually after referral from secondary facilities.

Question 5 of 5
If the RHU needs additional midwife items, you will submit the request for additional midwife items for approval to the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Provincial Health Office. The Provincial Health Office oversees healthcare services at the provincial level, including the allocation of resources like midwife items. Submitting the request for additional midwife items to the Provincial Health Office ensures proper coordination and resource distribution. The other choices are incorrect because the Rural Health Unit (A) typically does not have the authority to approve additional resources, the District Health Office (B) may not have the jurisdiction for provincial-level resources, and the Municipal Health Board (D) focuses on local health matters rather than provincial resource allocation.
