Question 1 of 5
What numerator is used in computing general fertility rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Number of registered live births. General fertility rate is calculated by dividing the number of live births in a given population by the total number of females in the reproductive age group (usually 15-49 years old). This rate helps assess the fertility patterns in a population. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Estimated midyear population is used in calculating birth rate, not general fertility rate. C: Number of pregnancies in the year includes both live births and stillbirths, not specific to live births only. D: Number of females of reproductive age is used in calculating fertility rates, but it is not the numerator for general fertility rate specifically.
Question 2 of 5
To monitor clients registered in long-term regimens, such as the Multi-Drug Therapy, which component will be most useful?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Individual health record. This is the most useful component for monitoring clients in long-term regimens like Multi-Drug Therapy because it contains detailed information on each client's health status, treatment history, medication adherence, and progress over time. It allows healthcare providers to track and assess the effectiveness of the treatment plan, identify any issues or trends, and make informed decisions for each individual client. A: Tally report and B: Output report provide general summaries and statistics but lack specific client details needed for individual monitoring. C: Target/client list may help identify clients but does not offer the depth of information provided in an individual health record.
Question 3 of 5
Which criterion in priority setting of health problems is used only in community health care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Preventive potential of the health problem, as it is a criterion that is specifically used in community health care settings. This criterion focuses on the ability of a health problem to be prevented through targeted interventions, which is essential for improving population health outcomes. In community health care, preventive measures play a crucial role in addressing health issues before they escalate, making this criterion particularly relevant. A: Modifiability of the problem - While modifiability is important in health priority setting, it is not unique to community health care and can be applied in various healthcare settings. B: Nature of the problem presented - The nature of the problem is a broad criterion that can be considered in any healthcare setting, not just limited to community health care. C: Magnitude of the health problem - Magnitude of the health problem is a critical criterion in health priority setting across different healthcare settings, not exclusive to community health care.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following women should be considered as special targets for family planning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because women who have just had a delivery within the past 15 months are at higher risk of unintended pregnancies and closely spaced births, which can have negative health outcomes for both the mother and the child. Providing family planning services to these women can help them space their pregnancies appropriately, reducing maternal and infant health risks. A: Women with two children or more may already be managing their family size effectively and may not necessarily need special targeting for family planning. B: Women with medical conditions such as anemia may require specialized care but may not specifically need family planning services. C: While age can be a factor in family planning, it does not necessarily make these women special targets compared to those who have recently given birth.
Question 5 of 5
A woman, 6 months pregnant, came to the center for consultation. Which of the following substances is contraindicated?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Retinol 200,000 IU. Retinol, also known as vitamin A, in high doses can be teratogenic and harmful during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. It can lead to birth defects. Tetanus toxoid (A) is safe and recommended during pregnancy. Ferrous sulfate (C) is commonly prescribed to prevent anemia in pregnant women. Potassium iodate (D) is used to prevent iodine deficiency.
