GRADED A+ (300 QUESTIONS)
Question 1
When was breastfeeding first recognized as a public health priority in tropical climates versus in
the United States?
A) 1990s in both locations
B) 1930s in the US; 1990s in tropical climates
C) 1930s in tropical climates; 1990s in the US
D) 1950s in tropical climates; 2010s in the US
E) 1970s in the US; 1930s in tropical climates
Correct Answer: C) 1930s in tropical climates; 1990s in the US
Rationale: Breastfeeding has been recognized as a public health priority in tropical climates
since the 1930s due to the high risk of infant mortality from contaminated water and lack
of resources. However, it was not until the 1990s that the US government officially
categorized it as a major public health priority.
Question 2
According to global health estimates, approximately how much would it cost per year to prevent
needless deaths through optimized breastfeeding?
A) $100 million
B) $1 billion
C) Less than $6 billion
D) $15 billion
E) $50 billion
Correct Answer: C) Less than $6 billion
Rationale: Global health organizations estimate that the cost to prevent infant deaths
worldwide through breastfeeding promotion and support programs is less than $6 billion
per year, which is considered highly cost-effective compared to the long-term healthcare
costs of suboptimal feeding.
Question 3
In the United States, suboptimal breastfeeding is estimated to account for how many maternal
, 2
and child deaths annually?
A) 500
B) 1,200
C) More than 3,340
D) 10,000
E) 25,000
Correct Answer: C) More than 3,340
Rationale: Suboptimal breastfeeding leads to increased vulnerability to disease for both
mother and child. Statistics show that over 3,340 deaths per year in the US are linked to
this, highlighting breastfeeding as a life-saving health behavior.
Question 4
What percentage of deaths associated with suboptimal breastfeeding in the US are maternal
deaths?
A) 20%
B) 40%
C) 50%
D) 80%
E) 95%
Correct Answer: D) 80%
Rationale: Surprisingly, 80% of the deaths associated with suboptimal breastfeeding are
maternal. This is largely due to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and
cancers (breast and ovarian) in women who do not breastfeed.
Question 5
Nursing a baby for a year or more decreases the mother's risk of developing hypertension,
diabetes, and cardiovascular disease by what percentage?
A) 2-5%
B) 10-15%
C) 25-30%
