Question 1 of 9
Which of the following diseases is prevented by administration of the Hepatitis B vaccine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Liver cancer. The Hepatitis B vaccine prevents Hepatitis B infection, which is a major cause of chronic liver disease and can lead to liver cancer. Jaundice (choice A) is a symptom of Hepatitis B infection, not a disease prevented by the vaccine. Pneumonia (choice C) and Tuberculosis (choice D) are both respiratory infections and are not prevented by the Hepatitis B vaccine. The key is to understand the specific disease targeted by the vaccine and its related health outcomes.
Question 2 of 9
Why is iron supplementation given to pregnant women?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Iron supplementation is given to pregnant women to prevent anemia. During pregnancy, iron requirements increase to support the growing fetus and maternal blood volume expansion. Anemia in pregnancy can lead to complications such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and maternal fatigue. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the tissues. Therefore, ensuring adequate iron levels helps prevent anemia and supports the health of both the mother and the baby. Summary: - A: Correct. Prevents anemia by supporting hemoglobin production. - B: Incorrect. Fetal growth is influenced by various factors, not just iron. - C: Incorrect. Premature labor is not directly prevented by iron supplementation. - D: Incorrect. Postpartum hemorrhage is more related to factors like uterine atony, not iron levels.
Question 3 of 9
To monitor clients registered in long-term regimens, such as Multi-Drug Therapy, which component will be most useful?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Target/client list is most useful as it provides a comprehensive list of clients in long-term regimens. Step 2: It allows for easy monitoring of individual progress and adherence to treatment plans. Step 3: Tally report (A) only provides a count, lacking specific client information. Step 4: Output report (B) may not include all necessary client details. Step 5: Individual health record (D) is specific to one client, not ideal for overall monitoring.
Question 4 of 9
In the past year, Barangay A had an average population of 1655. There were 46 babies born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks after birth, and 4 stillbirths were recorded. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The neonatal mortality rate is calculated as the number of neonatal deaths (deaths within the first 28 days of life) divided by the number of live births in a given period, multiplied by 1000. In this case, the number of neonatal deaths is 2 (babies who died less than 4 weeks after birth), and the number of live births is 46 (babies born excluding stillbirths). Therefore, the calculation is (2/46) * 1000 = 43.5/1000. This rate represents the number of neonatal deaths per 1000 live births in Barangay A for that year. Choice B is correct as it accurately represents the neonatal mortality rate based on the information provided. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the calculation using the specific data given.
Question 5 of 9
In calculating the crude death rate of your municipality, with a total population of about 18,000 last year, there were 94 deaths. Among the deceased, 20 died due to heart diseases, and 32 were aged 50 years or older. What is the crude death rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the crude death rate, divide the total number of deaths by the total population and then multiply by 1000. In this case, 94 deaths out of 18,000 population is (94/18000)*1000 = 5.2/1000. This is the correct answer (B). Choice A (4.1/1000) is incorrect as it underestimates the death rate. Choice C (6.3/1000) and D (7.3/1000) are both overestimations of the death rate based on the given data.
Question 6 of 9
Which of the following is a natality rate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Crude birth rate. Natality rate refers to the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population per year. The crude birth rate includes all live births in a population without any adjustments. B: Neonatal mortality rate measures the number of deaths within the first 28 days of life per 1,000 live births. C: Infant mortality rate measures the number of deaths within the first year of life per 1,000 live births. D: General fertility rate measures the number of live births per 1,000 women of childbearing age.
Question 7 of 9
Which of the following demonstrates intersectoral linkages?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it exemplifies intersectoral linkages by showcasing collaboration between different sectors (public health and education). This cooperation enables sharing of resources, expertise, and information to address broader community health needs. Choice A focuses on a single-sector referral system, Choice B emphasizes teamwork within the same sector, and Choice C highlights endorsement within a specific profession, all lacking the cross-sector collaboration seen in Choice D.
Question 8 of 9
In traditional Chinese medicine, the yielding, negative, and feminine force is termed:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Yin represents yielding, negative, and feminine energy in traditional Chinese medicine. 2. It is associated with qualities like darkness, coldness, and rest. 3. Yin balances the opposing force of Yang in the body. 4. In TCM, maintaining a balance between Yin and Yang is crucial for overall health. 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Yin. Summary: - Choice B (Yang) is incorrect as it represents the opposite force to Yin. - Choice C (Qi) is incorrect as it refers to the vital energy flow in TCM. - Choice D (Chai) is incorrect as it is not a term used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Question 9 of 9
During prenatal consultation, a client asked you if she can have her delivery at home. After history taking and physical examination, you advised her against a home delivery. Which of the following findings disqualifies her for a home delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The OB score G5P3 means the client has had 5 pregnancies with 3 live births. This indicates a history of multiple pregnancies and deliveries, suggesting a higher risk for complications during labor. This would disqualify her for a home delivery due to the increased potential for obstetric emergencies. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: - B: Palmar pallor may indicate anemia but can be managed in a hospital setting. - C: Blood pressure of 130/80 is within normal range and does not necessarily disqualify her for a home delivery. - D: Cephalic presentation means the baby's head is down, which is a favorable position for delivery and does not disqualify her for a home birth.
