1. What is the aim of the Magna Carta of Public Health Workers?

• A. Develop skills and capabilities of health workers to deliver health projects/programs
• B. All of these
• C. Encourage those with proper qualifications to remain in government service
• D. Promote social and economic well-being of health workers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B - 'All of these.' The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers aims to achieve multiple objectives, including developing the skills and capabilities of health workers to deliver health projects/programs, encouraging those with proper qualifications to remain in government service, and promoting the social and economic well-being of health workers. Choice A, C, and D are all part of the comprehensive goals outlined in the Magna Carta for Public Health Workers.

2. Which of the following strategies is most effective in promoting breastfeeding in a community?

• A. Providing formula samples
• B. Offering breastfeeding education and support
• C. Encouraging early weaning
• D. Promoting bottle feeding

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The most effective strategy in promoting breastfeeding in a community is offering breastfeeding education and support. This helps mothers learn about the benefits of breastfeeding, gain confidence in their ability to breastfeed, and receive necessary support to overcome challenges. Providing formula samples (Choice A) can undermine breastfeeding efforts by promoting formula feeding over breastfeeding. Encouraging early weaning (Choice C) goes against the recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Promoting bottle feeding (Choice D) can deter mothers from initiating or continuing breastfeeding, leading to decreased breastfeeding rates.

3. What is a priority goal of involuntary hospitalization of the severely mentally ill client?

• A. Re-orientation to reality
• B. Elimination of symptoms
• C. Protection from harm to self or others
• D. Development of self-care skills

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Protection from harm to self or others.' Involuntary hospitalization is primarily aimed at ensuring the safety of the individual and others. Re-orientation to reality (choice A) may be a goal of treatment but not the primary goal of involuntary hospitalization. Elimination of symptoms (choice B) and development of self-care skills (choice D) are important aspects of treatment but are secondary to the immediate priority of ensuring safety in cases of severe mental illness.

4. Which of the following measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium?

• A. maternal mortality
• B. neonatal death rate
• C. fetal death rate
• D. infant mortality rate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, maternal mortality. Maternal mortality specifically measures the risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes. Neonatal death rate, fetal death rate, and infant mortality rate focus on different populations and timeframes. Neonatal death rate refers to deaths within the first 28 days of life, fetal death rate measures stillbirths, and infant mortality rate includes deaths of infants under one year of age. Therefore, A is the most appropriate measure for assessing the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium.

5. The nurse is evaluating the growth and development of a toddler with AIDS. The nurse would anticipate finding that the child has

• A. Achieved developmental milestones at an erratic rate
• B. Delay in musculoskeletal development
• C. Displayed difficulty with speech development
• D. Delay in achievement of most developmental milestones

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Children with AIDS often experience delays in achieving developmental milestones, affecting their overall growth and development. This delay can impact various areas of development, not limited to a specific aspect like musculoskeletal or speech development. While some children may achieve milestones at varying rates (choice A), the general trend is a delay in multiple milestones (choice D). Musculoskeletal development (choice B) and speech development (choice C) may be affected but are not as comprehensive as the delay in most developmental milestones.
