Question 3

A patient on long-term isoniazid therapy for tuberculosis develops peripheral neuropathy. Which vitamin supplement is typically co-administered with isoniazid to prevent this side effect?

Accepted Answer

B. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) — Isoniazid inhibits pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) metabolism, leading to its deficiency. Pyridoxine deficiency is a common cause of drug-induced peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, Vitamin B6 supplementation is routinely given with isoniazid to prevent this adverse effect. The other B vitamins are not specifically targeted by isoniazid in this manner causing peripheral neuropathy.

Answer

A. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)

Answer

C. D. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

Answer

D. Folic Acid

Question 4

A primary school teacher finds that transitions between different activities, such as moving from story time to art class, are often chaotic and lead to significant loss of instructional time. To improve this, the teacher should primarily focus on:

Accepted Answer

D. Establishing clear, consistent, and practiced routines for all transitions. — Clear and consistent routines are crucial for smooth transitions, helping students understand expectations and move between activities efficiently without confusion or disruption. While unstructured play has its benefits, it won't solve chaotic transitions, and a loud signal alone doesn't teach the 'how' of transitioning effectively.

Answer

A. Increasing the complexity of activities to challenge students more.

Answer

B. Incorporating more unstructured free play time into the daily schedule.

Answer

C. Using a loud whistle or bell to signal the end of one activity and the start of another.

Question 5

What is the primary mechanism by which oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood capillaries in the lungs?

Accepted Answer

D. Simple diffusion — Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood capillaries by simple diffusion. This process occurs because the partial pressure of oxygen is significantly higher in the alveoli than in the deoxygenated blood within the capillaries, creating a concentration gradient that drives oxygen across the alveolar and capillary membranes. Active transport requires energy and moves substances against a gradient, facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins, and osmosis is specific to water movement.

Answer

A. Active transport

Answer

B. Facilitated diffusion

Answer

C. Osmosis

Question 8

A teacher notices that students struggle with understanding fractions during mathematics class. Which action research step would involve reviewing existing literature on teaching fractions before designing an intervention?

Accepted Answer

B. Reflection and Planning — Reviewing existing literature is part of the reflection and planning phase, where the teacher gathers background information to inform the intervention. Option A (Data Analysis) occurs after data collection. Option C (Intervention Design) comes after planning. Option D (Problem Identification) is the initial step, not the literature review.

Answer

A. Data Analysis

Answer

C. Intervention Design

Answer

D. Problem Identification

Question 9

Under the National Health Policy 2017, which initiative is prioritized to address the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)?

Accepted Answer

C. Integration of NCD screening and management in the Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centres — The NHP 2017 emphasizes the integration of NCD screening and management within the Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) as a key strategy. Option A is incorrect because Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) primarily covers secondary and tertiary care, not all NCDs. Option B is incorrect as the policy does not mandate standalone NCD clinics in every PHC. Option D is incorrect because no universal NCD insurance scheme is mandated under the policy.

Answer

A. Expansion of Ayushman Bharat to cover all NCDs

Answer

B. Establishment of NCD clinics in every primary health center

Answer

D. Mandatory NCD insurance for all citizens above 30 years

Question 10

When a patient experiences pain from an injury, the nerve impulses travel along sensory neurons to the central nervous system. Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for the conscious perception and interpretation of this pain?

Accepted Answer

C. Thalamus and Cerebral Cortex — Sensory information, including pain signals, is first relayed to the thalamus, which acts as a major relay station. From the thalamus, these signals are then projected to various areas of the cerebral cortex, particularly the somatosensory cortex, where the pain is consciously perceived, localized, and interpreted.

Answer

A. Cerebellum

Answer

B. Brainstem

Answer

D. Hypothalamus
