Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Proportionate mortality rate is calculated as (Number of deaths due to a specific cause/Total number of deaths from all cases)  100. Infant mortality rate is calculated as (Number of deaths of infants aged < 1 year during time interval/Total live births during time interval)  1,000. Maternal mortality rate is calculated as (Number of deaths from puerperal cases during 1 year/Number of live births during same year)  100,000. Crude birth rate is calculated as (Number of live births during a time interval/Estimated midinterval population)  1,000.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The web of causation views a health condition as the result not of individual factors but of complex interrelationships of numerous factors interacting to increase or decrease the risk of disease. The web identifies a disease as a direct, not indirect, result of a condition and almost always as a result of interrelated variables.
