1. Which of the following is used to monitor specific groups eligible for a particular DOH program?

• A. Family treatment record
• B. Target Client list
• C. Reporting forms
• D. Output record

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Target Client list. The Target Client list is specifically designed to monitor groups that are eligible for a particular DOH program. It helps in identifying and tracking individuals or populations that qualify for the said program. Choice A, Family treatment record, is incorrect because it pertains to the medical history and treatment information of a particular family, not eligibility monitoring. Choice C, Reporting forms, is incorrect as they are used for documenting and submitting information, not for monitoring eligibility. Choice D, Output record, is also incorrect as it refers to the results or outcomes produced by a system, not for monitoring eligibility.

2. Iwa, two years old, was brought to the health center because of diarrhea for 4 days. Assessment revealed that Iwa has under-nutrition. Which of the following actions will you take?

• A. Advise the mother to give milk and juices between meals at home
• B. Give nutritious food available at home
• C. Refer to the hospital for proper management
• D. Provide mother with ORS solution and show her how to give the solution

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the case of a child with under-nutrition and diarrhea, advising the mother to give milk and juices between meals at home is the appropriate action. This helps address the nutritional needs of the child while also providing hydration. Option B, giving nutritious food available at home, may not be sufficient in addressing immediate needs such as dehydration. Option C, referring to the hospital, may be necessary in severe cases but is not the first-line action. Option D, providing ORS solution, is important but does not directly address the under-nutrition concern.

3. 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?

• A. Determine the client's manual dexterity
• B. The client’s manual dexterity
• C. Proximity to health care services
• D. Ability to use visual assistive devices

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.

4. Which level of care serves as a referral center for primary health facilities?

• A. Secondary level health care
• B. Primary health care
• C. Tertiary level care
• D. Intermediate level care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Secondary level health care is the correct answer as it serves as a referral center for primary health facilities. Primary health care refers to basic health services provided in the community setting. Tertiary level care involves specialized services like hospitals with advanced medical equipment and expertise. Intermediate level care is not a standard term in the hierarchy of health care services.

5. The nurse should consider the following when assessing the child for chest indrawing EXCEPT:

• A. Chest indrawing should be present at all times
• B. The lower chest wall does not go in when the child breathes in
• C. The lower chest goes in when the child breathes in
• D. The child should be calm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Chest indrawing may not always be present and can vary with the child's activity level, so it should not be expected to be present at all times. Choice B is correct because the lower chest wall should not go in when the child breathes in. Choice C is correct as the lower chest should go in when the child breathes in, indicating chest indrawing. Choice D is correct as a calm child makes it easier to assess chest indrawing, but the absence of chest indrawing does not mean the child is not calm.
