Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
In immunity school entrants with BCG, you not obliged to secure parental consent. This is because of which legal document?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: PD 996. This legal document, specifically Presidential Decree (PD) 996, grants exemption from securing parental consent for BCG vaccination in immunity school entrants. PD 996 is a specific regulation that addresses this particular situation, making it the appropriate legal basis. Summary: - B: RA 7864 does not specifically address the exemption for parental consent in BCG vaccination for immunity school entrants. - C: Presidential Proclamation No. 6 and D: Presidential Proclamation No. 46 are not directly related to the issue of parental consent for BCG vaccination in immunity school entrants.
Question 3 of 5
A 4 week old baby was brought to the health center for his first immunization. Which can be given to him?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: OPV1. At 4 weeks old, the baby can receive the oral polio vaccine (OPV1) as part of the routine immunization schedule. OPV1 helps protect against polio, a highly infectious viral disease. DPT1 (choice A) is usually given at 6 weeks, Infant BCG (choice C) is given at birth, and Hepatitis B Vaccine (choice D) is given within the first 24 hours of life. Therefore, OPV1 is the appropriate choice for a 4-week-old baby.
Question 4 of 5
A 2-month old infant was brought to the health center for immunization. During assessment,
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because at 2 months old, any fever or unusual symptoms should be taken seriously. Referring the infant to a physician for further assessment ensures proper evaluation and treatment if necessary, as infants are more vulnerable to serious illnesses. Choice A is too vague and does not provide specific actions. Choice B is risky as immunization may worsen the infant's condition if there is an underlying medical issue. Choice C is inappropriate as giving paracetamol without knowing the cause of the fever can mask symptoms and delay proper diagnosis and treatment.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following signs will indicate that a young child is suffering from severe pneumonia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Chest indrawing. This sign indicates severe pneumonia in young children because it shows increased effort in breathing due to the lungs working harder to get enough oxygen. Chest indrawing is a visual indication of the child struggling to breathe, a critical symptom of severe pneumonia. Rationale: 1. Dyspnea (A) is a general term for difficulty in breathing and can be present in various respiratory conditions, not specific to severe pneumonia. 2. Wheezing (B) is typically associated with asthma or bronchiolitis, not a definitive sign of severe pneumonia. 3. Fast breathing (C) is a common symptom of pneumonia but alone may not indicate severity, unlike chest indrawing which is a more critical sign of respiratory distress.
