1. In the past year, Barangay A had an average population of 1655. There were 46 babies born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks after birth, and 4 stillbirths were recorded. What is the neonatal mortality rate?

• A. 27.8/1000
• B. 43.5/1000
• C. 86.9/1000
• D. 130.4/1000

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Neonatal mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of babies who died before reaching the age of 28 days by the total number of live births, then multiplying by 1,000. In this case, 2 babies died within 28 days out of 46 total live births. Therefore, the neonatal mortality rate is (2/46) * 1000 = 43.5/1000.

2. In traditional Chinese medicine, the yielding, negative, and feminine force is termed:

• A. Yin
• B. Yang
• C. Qi
• D. Chai

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In traditional Chinese medicine, the force characterized by yielding, negative, and feminine aspects is referred to as Yin. Yin is associated with qualities such as darkness, passivity, cold, and intuition. On the other hand, Yang represents the male, dominating, positive, and masculine force associated with light, activity, heat, and logic. Qi is the vital energy that flows through the body, and Chai is not a term used in traditional Chinese medicine for these forces.

3. In the conduct of a census, the method of population assignment based on the actual physical location of the people is termed:

• A. De jure
• B. De locus
• C. De facto
• D. De novo

Rationale: The correct term for the method of population assignment based on the actual physical location of the people is 'de facto.' On the other hand, 'de jure' is the method based on the usual place of residence of the people.

4. Which nutrient is most critical for preventing neural tube defects during pregnancy?

• A. Iron
• B. Calcium
• C. Folic acid
• D. Vitamin D

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Folic acid is the most critical nutrient for preventing neural tube defects during pregnancy. Neural tube defects are serious birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Adequate intake of folic acid before and during early pregnancy can significantly reduce the risk of these defects. Iron, calcium, and vitamin D are important nutrients during pregnancy for other reasons, such as supporting the increased demands on the body for blood production, bone health, and calcium absorption, respectively.

5. When determining whether resources were maximized in implementing Ligtas Tigdas, what is being evaluated?

• A. Effectiveness
• B. Efficiency
• C. Adequacy
• D. Appropriateness

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Efficiency is the correct answer because it assesses whether the desired outcomes were achieved with the least amount of resources expended. In the context of Ligtas Tigdas, evaluating efficiency would involve determining if the program goals were met in a cost-effective manner, optimizing the use of resources to achieve the best results.
