Question 1 of 5
Which of the following professionals can sign the birth certificate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all of the listed health professionals can sign a birth certificate. Public health nurses, rural health midwives, and municipal health officers are authorized to certify the birth of a child. Therefore, any of these health professionals have the legal authority to sign a birth certificate. The other choices, A, B, and C, are incorrect because they are all capable of performing this role based on their professional qualifications and scope of practice. It is important to note that the specific requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction or country.
Question 2 of 5
Freedom of choice in one of the policies of the Family Planning Program of the Philippines. Which of the following illustrates this principle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Adequate information for couples regarding the different methods. This choice aligns with the principle of freedom of choice as it empowers couples to make informed decisions by providing them with a range of options. By offering comprehensive information, individuals can choose the method that best suits their needs and preferences. A: Information dissemination about the need for family planning is important but does not directly address freedom of choice. B: Support of research and development in family planning methods is valuable for innovation but does not specifically ensure freedom of choice. D: Encouraging couples to take family planning as a joint responsibility promotes shared decision-making but does not emphasize individual choice.
Question 3 of 5
Inadequate intake by the pregnant woman of which vitamin may cause neural tube defects?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Folic Acid. Folic acid is essential for neural tube development in the fetus. Inadequate intake can lead to neural tube defects like spina bifida. Niacin (A), Riboflavin (B), and Thiamine (D) are important vitamins but do not specifically prevent neural tube defects. Niacin is important for energy production, Riboflavin for metabolism, and Thiamine for nerve function.
Question 4 of 5
In preparing a primigravida for breastfeeding, which of the following will you do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Putting the baby to breast will help release oxytocin, which helps the uterus contract and reduce postpartum bleeding. This is important for the mother's recovery. A: Incorrect. Lactation typically begins a few days after delivery, not within a day. B: Incorrect. Nipple stretching exercises are not commonly recommended for breastfeeding preparation. C: Incorrect. Washing nipples before and after breastfeeding is unnecessary and may lead to dryness and irritation.
Question 5 of 5
You explain to a breastfeeding mother that breastmilk is sufficient for all of the baby's nutrient needs only up to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (6 months) because exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months of a baby's life. Breastmilk provides all the essential nutrients a baby needs during this time, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Introducing solid foods before 6 months can increase the risk of infections and allergies. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because breastmilk alone is not sufficient beyond 6 months, and complementary foods are needed to meet the baby's increasing nutrient requirements as they grow.
