Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Educating families on the daily use of insecticide-treated bed nets in regions where malaria is highly endemic would be the appropriate intervention, as malaria is spread predominantly by mosquitoes. Malaria is not related to burning wood or dung, water quality, or sexual intercourse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
Low- and middle-income countries have an increased burden of the risk factor of poverty. Extreme povertythe inability to meet the basic needs of adequate nutrition, safe drinking water, basic education, and primary health services and the lack of a livelihood that can generate the means to secure these basic needsis the driving force behind increased mortality. The continuous smoke from the burning of air-polluting solid fuels affects the population's health and in turn affects economic prospects. The continued low status of women, despite years of policy development, increases the risk of disease and disability. Interventions to improve neonatal care at birth in lower-income countries include drying the infant off and wrapping immediately after birth. A sedentary lifestyle and overconsumption of fatty foods are not risk factors associated with low- and middle-income countries but with higher-income countries.
