    • Optimists

    • Pessimists

    Correct Answer
    A. Optimists
    Explanation
    Optimists are individuals who tend to have a positive outlook on life and believe that they have control over their circumstances. They are more likely to use problem-focused coping strategies, which involve actively addressing and solving the problem at hand. Optimists also tend to suppress competing activities, meaning they prioritize and focus on dealing with the issue rather than getting distracted.

Overall, these coping strategies reflect the optimistic mindset of individuals who believe in their ability to overcome difficulties.

    • Fight, Fright, Flight

    • Alarm Reaction, Exhaustion, Resistance

    • Alarm Reaction, Resistance, Exhaustion

    • Alarm Reaction, Avoidance, Exhaustion

    Correct Answer
    A. Alarm Reaction, Resistance, Exhaustion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Alarm Reaction, Resistance, Exhaustion. The general adaptation syndrome is a three-stage process that the body goes through when faced with stress. The first stage is the alarm reaction, where the body recognizes the stressor and prepares for a fight or flight response. The second stage is resistance, where the body tries to adapt and cope with the ongoing stressor. The third stage is exhaustion, where the body's resources are depleted and it becomes more susceptible to illness and physical and mental fatigue.

    _____ Prevention involves reducing the occurrence of the illness and gain framing.

    • Primary

    • Secondary

    Correct Answer
    A. Primary
    Explanation
    Primary prevention refers to the measures taken to prevent the occurrence of an illness or disease in the first place. It focuses on promoting healthy behaviors, providing vaccinations, and implementing interventions to reduce risk factors. In contrast, secondary prevention involves early detection and treatment of a disease to prevent its progression and complications. In this context, the statement suggests that the prevention method mentioned involves reducing the occurrence of the illness, which aligns with the concept of primary prevention.

    Which of the following is NOT a stress buffer?

    • Social Support

    • Optimism

    • Exercise

    • Denial

    Correct Answer
    A. Denial
    Explanation
    Denial is not a stress buffer because it involves refusing to acknowledge or accept a stressful situation, which can prevent individuals from effectively dealing with their stress. Social support, optimism, and exercise are all known to be stress buffers as they can help individuals cope with and reduce stress levels. Denial, on the other hand, can lead to increased stress and can hinder the process of finding healthy ways to manage and overcome stressors.

    A. Extraverted; neurotic
    Explanation
    Extraverted personalities are linked to pleasant affect in subjective wellbeing, meaning that individuals who are outgoing, sociable, and enjoy being around others tend to experience positive emotions and overall wellbeing. On the other hand, neurotic personalities are linked to negative affect, suggesting that individuals who are prone to anxiety, mood swings, and emotional instability are more likely to experience negative emotions and lower levels of wellbeing.

    • Primary

    • Secondary

    Correct Answer
    A. Secondary
    Explanation
    Secondary prevention involves decreasing the severity of the illness and placing importance on early detection. This approach aims to identify and treat diseases in their early stages before they progress and cause significant harm. It focuses on interventions such as screenings, regular check-ups, and early intervention programs. Loss framing, which involves emphasizing the potential negative consequences of not taking preventive measures, is also a key component of secondary prevention.

    Correct Answer
    A. The equitable distribution of wealth and of associated health services
    Explanation
    The equitable distribution of wealth and associated health services predicts the general health status and longevity. This means that when wealth is distributed fairly and everyone has access to necessary health services, it leads to better overall health and longer life expectancy for the population.

    • Decreasing poverty

    • Improving child survival rates

    Correct Answer
    A. Improving child survival rates
    Explanation
    The GOBI strategy of UNICEF is aimed at improving child survival rates. This strategy focuses on four key interventions: growth monitoring and promotion, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding, and immunization. By implementing these interventions, UNICEF aims to reduce child mortality and improve overall child health and well-being. This strategy recognizes the importance of addressing various factors that contribute to child mortality, such as malnutrition, preventable diseases, and lack of access to healthcare services.

    • Unstable

    • Stable

    • Growing

    Correct Answer
    A. Stable
    Explanation
    Research shows that subjective well-being remains stable over time. This means that individuals' overall happiness and satisfaction with life tend to remain relatively constant, regardless of external circumstances or life events. This stability suggests that people have a baseline level of well-being that is resistant to fluctuations and that their subjective well-being is not significantly influenced by long-term changes or trends.

    • Growth Monitoring, Oral Rehydration, Bacterial Reduction, Immunization

    Correct Answer
    A. Growth monitoring, Oral Rehydration, Breastfeeding, Immunization
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Growth monitoring, Oral Rehydration, Breastfeeding, Immunization. This answer is correct because the GOBI strategy at UNICEF focuses on four key interventions to improve child health and reduce mortality rates. Growth monitoring is important to track a child's growth and development. Oral rehydration is crucial to prevent and treat dehydration caused by diarrhea. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition and helps protect against infections. Immunization protects children from vaccine-preventable diseases. These interventions work together to promote child health and well-being.

  • 12. 

    _____ and ______ both affect the level and distribution of health resources and the potential for development..

    • Population Increase; Economic Increase

    • Population Increase; Economic Decrease

    • Population Increase; Social Inequality

    • Population Increase; Social Reform

    Correct Answer
    A. Population Increase; Social Inequality
    Explanation
    Population increase and social inequality both affect the level and distribution of health resources and the potential for development. As the population increases, there is a higher demand for health resources such as healthcare facilities, doctors, and medicines. If these resources are not adequately distributed, it can lead to a lack of access to healthcare for certain populations, exacerbating social inequality. This can further hinder development as health plays a crucial role in overall well-being and productivity. Therefore, population increase and social inequality are both factors that impact the availability and fairness of health resources, influencing development outcomes.

    • Distance/denial

    • Suppressing competing activities

    • Disengage from goal

    • Focus on their feelings

    A. Suppressing competing activities
    Explanation
    Pessimists coping strategies involve various ways of dealing with negative situations. Distance/denial, disengaging from goals, and focusing on their feelings are all coping strategies that pessimists may use. However, suppressing competing activities is not a coping strategy typically associated with pessimists. This suggests that pessimists may not try to ignore or avoid other tasks or responsibilities in order to cope with their negative outlook.

During this transition, there is a shift in the demographic patterns of a population, with a decrease in mortality rates followed by a decrease in birth rates. This transition is often associated with improvements in public health, healthcare, and socioeconomic conditions, leading to longer life expectancy and lower fertility rates.
