Description:Mid-arm circumference refers to the measurement around a person's upper arm. In this context, it means that the size of a child's upper arm remains relatively constant during a specific age range. The correct answer is "b. 1-5 years." This means that from the ages of 1 to 5 years old, a child's mid-arm circumference doesn't change significantly. It stays roughly the same during this period of their early childhood.

Description:These curves represent different percentiles of growth for children, helping healthcare professionals track a child's growth and development in comparison to their peers.

Description:So, the correct answer is "b. 34 cm." This measurement helps assess a newborn's head size, which is an important indicator of their development and health.

Description:The WHO Growth Chart provides information on various aspects of a child's growth and development, but it does not include information on the maternal health history.

Description:The amount of ferritin in the blood (serum ferrites level) is directly related to the amount of iron stored in human body. Iron is important for red blood cell production. Doctor may order this test if a client have signs or symptoms of anemia due to low irons.

Description:As per the World Health Organization (WHO), blindness is defined as a visual acuity less than: c. 3/60

Description:In North India, the most common congenital (present at birth) health issue is a neural tube defect. This means that some babies are born with problems related to the development of their spinal cord or brain.

Description:The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of iodine for an adult is: d. 150 µg/day

Description:The Health Survey and Development Committee is also known as the Bhore Committee. So, the correct answer is: a. Bhore committee.

Description:The Bhore Committee was appointed by the Government of India in the year: c. 1943

Description:Gray baby syndrome is caused by the antibiotic Chloramphenicol (option a). This condition is a rare but serious side effect of Chloramphenicol, which can occur in newborns and young infants when the drug is not properly metabolized and can lead to a bluish-gray skin color, vomiting, and other symptoms.

Description:The best parameter for the assessment of chronic malnutrition is: c. Height for age. This parameter, also known as stunting, helps evaluate long-term growth and development in children by comparing their height to age, which is a key indicator of chronic malnutrition.

Description:Monitoring the rate of increase in both height and weight over time provides a comprehensive assessment of a child's nutritional status and overall growth and development. This information helps healthcare professionals identify any growth-related issues or nutritional deficiencies.

Description:Hen’s egg is considered as reference protein

Description:Food cooked below the boiling point is known as simmering.

Description:Adding of non-nutritive substances to nutritive substances is called food adulteration.

Description:One gram of protein provides 4 kcal (kilocalories) of energy. This is a measure of how much energy your body can potentially get from consuming one gram of protein. When you eat one gram of protein, it contributes 4 kilocalories to your overall daily energy intake. This energy is used by your body for various functions, including repairing tissues and supporting muscle growth.

Description:9 kcal (kilocalories) of energy. Fat is a dense source of energy, providing more calories per gram compared to carbohydrates and protein.

Description:4 kcal (kilocalories) of energy. Carbohydrates are one of the primary sources of energy in our diet, and they provide 4 calories per gram when metabolized by the body.

Description:70 kcal (kilocalories) of energy. Human milk is a source of nourishment for infants and contains a certain amount of calories to support their growth and development.

Description:Nuts are an example of biologically incomplete protein. While they do contain protein, they may lack one or more essential amino acids or have them in insufficient quantities to meet the complete protein needs of the body.

Description:Oleic acid is an example of an unsaturated fatty acid. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds in their carbon chain, which results in kinks or bends in the molecular structure. Oleic acid is found in many plant oils, such as olive oil, and is considered a healthy monounsaturated fat.

Description:Arginine is not a fatty acid; it is an amino acid, a building block of proteins. Therefore, it is not an example of a saturated fatty acid. Saturated fatty acids are found in foods like butter, lard, and animal fats and have no double bonds in their carbon chains. An example of a saturated fatty acid is stearic acid.

Description:Arginine is not considered an essential amino acid for adults because the body can generally produce sufficient quantities of it. However, it is considered essential in certain specific conditions, such as during periods of rapid growth or in people with certain medical conditions. For most healthy adults, though, arginine is not considered one of the essential amino acids that must be obtained through the diet.

Description:Histidine is not a sulfur-containing amino acid. Sulfur-containing amino acids include methionine and cysteine. Homocysteine, while it contains sulfur, is not considered one of the standard sulfur-containing amino acids in the same way as methionine and cysteine.
