What law created the Philippine institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: RA 8483. This law specifically created the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care. The rationale behind this is that RA 8483 was enacted to establish and promote traditional and alternative health care practices in the Philippines. It outlines the functions and responsibilities of the institute, making it the most suitable choice among the options provided. Summary: - B: RA 4823 does not exist and is not related to the creation of the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care. - C: RA 2483 is also non-existent and does not pertain to the establishment of the institute. - D: RA 3482 is not the correct law as it is not associated with the creation of the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care.

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

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: General fertility rate. Natality rate refers to the general fertility rate, which measures the number of live births per 1,000 women of childbearing age in a given population. This rate specifically focuses on the reproductive age group and reflects the fertility patterns within a population. The other choices, A, B, and C, are not natality rates. A is the crude birth rate, which measures the number of live births per 1,000 total population. B is the neonatal mortality rate, which measures the number of deaths of infants under 28 days old per 1,000 live births. C is the infant mortality rate, which measures the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. These rates are related to birth outcomes and mortality, not specifically to fertility rates.

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.

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.
