Question 2 of 5
Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino and world boxing champion, used to advertise a muscle pain-relieving drug popularly known in the Philippine market. What can be an equally effective medicinal alternative, especially in far-flung communities and provinces, to relieve muscles and joint pains and prove to be non-costly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yerba Buena is a suitable alternative for muscle and joint pain relief, particularly in remote areas due to its cost-effectiveness and proven efficacy. Sambong is more commonly used for urinary tract problems, Lagundi is known for respiratory conditions, and Akapulko is primarily used for skin diseases, making them less effective alternatives for muscle and joint pain relief.

Choice A is incorrect because ergometrine administration is not routinely recommended in active management. Choice B is incorrect as intravenous oxytocin is not the preferred route of administration. Choice D is incorrect as the order of steps is not accurate.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following statements about TB treatment is INCORRECT?
Correct Answer: B
