Question 2 of 5
Inadequate intake by the pregnant woman of which vitamin may cause neural tube defects?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Folic Acid. Folic acid is essential for neural tube development in the fetus. Inadequate intake can lead to neural tube defects like spina bifida. Niacin (A), Riboflavin (B), and Thiamine (D) are important vitamins but do not specifically prevent neural tube defects. Niacin is important for energy production, Riboflavin for metabolism, and Thiamine for nerve function.
Question 3 of 5
In preparing a primigravida for breastfeeding, which of the following will you do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Putting the baby to breast will help release oxytocin, which helps the uterus contract and reduce postpartum bleeding. This is important for the mother's recovery. A: Incorrect. Lactation typically begins a few days after delivery, not within a day. B: Incorrect. Nipple stretching exercises are not commonly recommended for breastfeeding preparation. C: Incorrect. Washing nipples before and after breastfeeding is unnecessary and may lead to dryness and irritation.
Question 4 of 5
You explain to a breastfeeding mother that breastmilk is sufficient for all of the baby's nutrient needs only up to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (6 months) because exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months of a baby's life. Breastmilk provides all the essential nutrients a baby needs during this time, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Introducing solid foods before 6 months can increase the risk of infections and allergies. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because breastmilk alone is not sufficient beyond 6 months, and complementary foods are needed to meet the baby's increasing nutrient requirements as they grow.
Question 5 of 5
Which biological used in EPI is stored in the freezer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis B vaccine is stored in the freezer to maintain its stability and efficacy. Freezing temperatures help prevent degradation of the vaccine components. Other choices, A (DPT), B (Tetanus toxoid), and C (Measles vaccine) are typically stored in the refrigerator, not the freezer, as they remain stable at higher temperatures. Storing these vaccines in the freezer could potentially damage their potency and effectiveness.
