Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Incidence rate is the measure of the probability that people without a certain condition will develop that condition over a period of time. Incidence density is the use of a person-time denominator in the calculation of rates. A person-day reflects one person at risk for 1 day, and a person-year represents one person at risk for 1 year. Relative risk ratio is the ratio of the incidence rate in the exposed group to the incidence rate in the nonexposed group. Specific rates are detailed rates that are calculated using the number of people in the smaller subgroups of the population in the denominator.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Below are the equations for various measures:
Perinatal mortality rate =
Infant mortality rate =
Neonatal mortality rate =
Fetal mortality rate =

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
