It is a type of immunity in which it is present at birth and is a natural immune response to foreign invaders.
- A.
Natural immunity
- B.
Acquired immunity
- C.
Vaccine
- D.
Immunization
Correct Answer
A. Natural immunityExplanation
Natural immunity refers to the type of immunity that is present at birth and is a natural immune response to foreign invaders. This means that individuals have a certain level of protection against pathogens from the moment they are born. Unlike acquired immunity, which is developed through exposure to pathogens or vaccination, natural immunity is innate and does not require prior exposure. Vaccines and immunization, on the other hand, are methods used to enhance or stimulate the immune system to provide protection against specific diseases. Therefore, the correct answer is natural immunity.Rate this question:

________ is the drug of choice for eclampsia.
- A.
Dapsone
- B.
Rifampicin

The given answer, "DOH mandates the Center for Health in a given area especially the private hospitals," does not belong about the National Level under the Public Sector because the National Level is responsible for maintaining provincial health teams made up of DOH representatives, and having a regional office in every region. The mandate of the Center for Health in a given area, especially private hospitals, would fall under the jurisdiction of the local level rather than the national level.Rate this question:

Schistosomiasis (Bilharis or snail fever) has long been one of the important tropical diseases in our country. It is caused by blood fluke most common in the Philippines which is the Schistosoma japonicum that is transmitted by a tiny snail (Oncomelania quadrasi) into the host through an opened wound or attachment in the skin until it penetrates. One of the characteristics of this communicable disease is by affecting its host appearing protuberant.

- A.
Spleenomegaly and inflamed liver
- B.
Full stomach of blood flukes
- C.
Bloody Stools
- D.
Anemia
Correct Answer
A. Spleenomegaly and inflamed liverExplanation
Schistosomiasis causes the spleen and liver to become enlarged and inflamed, leading to a protuberant appearance of the host. This is because the blood flukes that cause the disease live in these organs and their presence causes inflammation and enlargement. The other options, such as a full stomach of blood flukes, bloody stools, and anemia, do not directly contribute to the protuberant appearance of the host.Rate this question:

What is the most heat sensitive vaccine?
- A.
BCG
- B.

D. Polio vaccineExplanation
The polio vaccine is the most heat sensitive vaccine because it contains live attenuated (weakened) virus strains that can be easily inactivated by heat. This means that exposure to high temperatures can render the vaccine ineffective, reducing its ability to provide immunity against polio. Therefore, it is crucial to store and transport the polio vaccine at the recommended temperature range to maintain its potency and ensure its effectiveness in preventing polio infection.Rate this question:
