Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a natality rate?
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.
Question 2 of 5
46 babies were born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks affer they were born. They were 4 recorded stillbirths. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
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.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
In the conduct of a census, the method of population assignment based on the actual physical location of the people is termed;
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: De jure. De jure means "by law," and in the context of a census, it refers to assigning individuals to a specific location based on legal residence. This method ensures that each individual is counted in the correct location according to official records and legal status. Choice B: De locus is not a recognized term in the context of census methodology. Choice C: De facto refers to a situation that exists in fact but may not be officially recognized or legally established. This is not the appropriate method for census population assignment. Choice D: De novo means "from the beginning" and is not relevant to the method of population assignment in a census based on physical location.
Question 5 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.
