Question 1 of 5

A unit of Girl Scouts went hiking over Mt. Makiling. While resting, scout Jaymee, 14 years of age, complained of a sudden moderately bearable toothache. In checking their first-aid kit, they found none of mefenamic acid, BUT they luckily chanced upon a home that uses alternative pain-relieving medicinal plants. What would this plant be?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Bawang (garlic), which is traditionally used for its pain-relieving properties. While Lagundi, Sambong, and Tsaang gubat are also medicinal plants with various health benefits, they are not specifically known for their pain-relieving properties like garlic.

Question 2 of 5

What does the infant mortality rate measure?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The infant mortality rate measures the number of deaths occurring before 1 year old per 1000 live births. This is a crucial indicator of a population's health status and access to healthcare for infants. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the infant mortality rate specifically focuses on deaths within the first year of life, not the entire population or different age ranges.

Question 3 of 5

An 82-year-old client is prescribed eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma. What assessment is needed before the nurse begins teaching proper administration of the medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Assessing the client's manual dexterity is crucial before teaching the administration of eye drops. Manual dexterity is essential for the proper instillation of eye drops. If the client has limited manual dexterity, alternative methods of administration may be necessary. The other choices, such as determining third-party payment plan, proximity to health care services, and ability to use visual assistive devices, are not directly related to the immediate need for assessing manual dexterity for the proper administration of eye drops.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following statements about breastfeeding is correct?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct statement about breastfeeding is that breastmilk given exclusively for the first 4 to 6 months of life helps avoid the introduction of infection. This practice is recommended by health experts for optimal infant health. Choice A is incorrect because breastfeeding should ideally start within the first hour after birth to stimulate breastmilk production. Choice B is incorrect because breastmilk should be initiated as soon as possible after delivery, not after 24 hours. Choice D is incorrect because while feeding on demand is generally encouraged, it should also follow a schedule to ensure adequate nutrition and growth for the baby.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is not classified as an essential health service?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The provision of eyeglasses and dentures for the elderly is not classified as an essential health service. Essential health services typically focus on preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative care that address the primary healthcare needs of individuals and communities. Choices B, C, and D are examples of essential health services as they directly contribute to improving and maintaining the health of populations. Maternal and child care, basic sanitation, disease prevention, nutrition promotion, safe water supply, and health education are essential components of public health initiatives.
