its breeding place, thereby preventing infection of humans.

number of females of reproductive age (15-45 years), then multiply by 1,000.

prevention.

infections and prolong life, but does not cure the underlying immunodeficiency
The purpose of isolating a client with a communicable disease is to protect those who are not
sick (specific disease prevention).
The ova of the parasite get out of the human body together with feces. Cutting the cycle at this
stage is the most effective way of preventing the spread of the disease to susceptible hosts.

the people.
The order of priority in the management of severe dehydration is as follows: intravenous fluid
therapy, referral to a facility where IV fluids can be initiated within 30 minutes,
Oresol/nasogastric tube, Oresol/orem. When the foregoing measures are not possible or effective,
tehn urgent referral to the hospital is done.
The nurse provides technical guidance to the midwife in the care of clients, particularly in the

schistosoma eggs in the liver.
The entry of a person into the health care delivery system is usually through a consultation in
out-patient services.
The earliest sign of Vitamin A deficiency (xerophthalmia) is night blindness. However, this is a
functional change, which is not observable during physical examination. The earliest visible
lesion is conjunctival xerosis or dullness of the conjunctiva due to inadequate tear production.

and community organizing activities.
The catchment area in PHN consists of a residential community, many of whom are well
individuals who have greater need for preventive rather than curative services.
The baby will have passive natural immunity by placental transfer of antibodies. The mother will
have active artificial immunity lasting for about 10 years. 5 doses will give the mother lifetime
protection.
The anatomic characteristics of the palms allow a reliable and convenient basis for examination
for pallor.
Tertiary prevention involves rehabilitation, prevention of permanent disability and disability
limitation appropriate for convalescents, the disabled, complicated cases and the terminally ill
(those in the terminal stage of a disease)
Swaroop's index is the proportion of deaths aged 50 years and above. The higher the Swaroop's
index of a population, the greater the proportion of the deaths who were able to reach the age of
at least 50 years, i.e., more people grew old before they died.
Swaroop's index is the percentage of the deaths aged 50 years or older. Its inverse represents the
percentage of untimely deaths (those who died younger than 50 years).
Suckling of the nipple stimulates the release of oxytocin by the posterior pituitary gland, which
causes uterine contraction. Lactation begins 1 to 3 days after delivery. Nipple stretching
exercises are done when the nipples are flat or inverted. Frequent washing dries up the nipples,
making them prone to the formation of fissures.
Suckling of the nipple stimulates prolactin reflex (the release of prolactin by the anterior pituitary
gland), which initiates lactation.
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis may cause meningitis, but age distribution
is not specific in young children.

Since the child does not manifest any other danger sign, maintenance of fluid balance and
replacement of fluid loss may be done by giving the client Oresol
Since preschoolers are the most susceptible to the effects of malnutrition, a population with poor
nutritional status will most likely have a high 1-4 year old age-specific mortality rate, also known
as child mortality rate.
Sexual fidelity rules out the possibility of getting the disease by sexual contact with another
infected person. Transmission occurs mostly through sexual intercourse and exposure to blood or
tissues.
Sex ratio is the number of males for every 100 females in the population.
Sex ratio and sex proportion are used to determine the sex composition of a population. A
population pyramid is used to present the composition of a population by age and sex.
Severe pneumonia requires urgent referral to a hospital. Answers A, C and D are done for a
client classified as having pneumonia.
Sentrong Sigla Movement is a joint project of the DOH and local government units. Its main
strategy is certification of health centers that are able to comply with standards set by the DOH.

100% sensitive, all the cases tested will have a positive result, i.e., there will be no false negative
results.
Seizures within 3 days after administration of DPT is an indication of hypersensitivity to
pertussis vaccine, a component of DPT. This is considered a specific contraindication to
subsequent doses of DPT.
Sambong is used as a diuretic. Tsaang gubat is used to relieve diarrhea. Akapulko is used for its
antifungal property.
S.. mansoni is found mostly in Africa and South America; S. haematobium in Africa and the
Middle East; and S. malayensis only in peninsular Malaysia.
Rubella vaccine is made up of attenuated German measles viruses. This is contraindicated in
pregnancy. Immune globulin, a specific prophylactic against German measles, may be given to
