_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
immunization outreach activity in a barangay with a population of about 1,500.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A. 265
B. 300
C. 375
D. 400 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (A) 265. To estimate the number of pregnant women,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
multiply the total population by 3.5%.
_ _ _ _ _ _
To describe the sex composition of the population, which demographic tool may be
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
used?
A. Sex ratio _
B. Sex proportion
_
C. Population pyramid _
D. Any of these may be used. -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (D) Any of these may be used.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
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. _ _ _ _
Which of the following is a natality rate?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A. Crude birth rate _ _
B. Neonatal mortality rate _ _
C. Infant mortality rate _ _
D. General fertility rate -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (A) Crude birth rate. Natality means
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
birth. A natality rate is a birth rate.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
, You are computing the crude death rate of your municipality, with a total population of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
about 18,000, for last year. There were 94 deaths. Among those who died, 20 died
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
because of diseases of the heart and 32 were aged 50 years or older. What is the crude
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
death rate?
_
A. 4.2/1,000
B. 5.2/1,000
C. 6.3/1,000
D. 7.3/1,000 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (B) 5.2/1,000. To compute crude death rate
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
divide total number of deaths (94) by total population (18,000) and multiply by
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1,000.
Knowing that malnutrition is a frequent community health problem, you decided to
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
conduct nutritional assessment. What population is particularly susceptible to protein
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
energy malnutrition (PEM)?
_ _
A. Pregnant women and the elderly _ _ _ _
B. Under-5 year old children _ _ _
C. 1-4 year old children
_ _ _
D. School age children -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (C) 1-4 year old children.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Preschoolers are the most susceptible to PEM because they have generally been _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
weaned. Also, this is the population who, unable to feed themselves, are often the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
victims of poor intrafamilial food distribution.
_ _ _ _ _
Which statistic can give the most accurate reflection of the health status of a community?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A. 1-4 year old age-specific mortality rate
_ _ _ _ _
B. Infant mortality rate _ _
C. Swaroop's index _
D. Crude death rate -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (C) Swaroop's index. 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.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In the past year, Barangay A had an average population of 1655. 46 babies were born in
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks after they were born. There were 4
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
recorded stillbirths. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
