9
Q

It is a major component of the network information source developed by the Department of Health (DOH) to enable it to better manage in nationwide health services delivery activities.

A

Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS)

9
Q

It helps the local government determine public health priorities. Basis for monitoring and evaluation health program implementation. Likewise, a basis for planning, budgeting, logistics and unusual occurrence of a disease.

A

Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS)

10
Q

It is defined as the number of individuals present in a subjectively designated geographic range, and is the most fundamental demographic parameter within a population.

A

Population Size

11
Q

2 ways as how you determine the increase in the population resulting from excess of births compared to death

A
  1. Natural Increase
  2. Rate of Natural Increase
11
Q

It is simply the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths occurring in a population in a specified period of time.

A

Natural Increase

11
Q

Formula on getting “Natural Increase”

A

Number of births – Number of deaths

12
Q

It is the difference between the CBR and CDR occurring in a population in a specified period of time.

A

Rate of Natural Increase

13
Q

Formula on getting “Rate of Natural Increase”

A

Crude Birth Rate – Crude Death Rate

14
Q

How do you determine the increase in the population using data obtained during two census periods.

A
  1. Absolute increase per year
  2. Relative increase
15
Q

Formula on getting “Absolute increase per year”

A

Pt - Po / t

where:
Pt –population size at a later time
Po –population size at an earlier time
t –number of years between time 0 and time t

15
Q

Formula on getting “Relative increase”

A

Pt - Po / Po

where:
Pt –population size at a later time
Po –population size at an earlier time

15
Q

It is commonly described in terms of its age and sex. The nurse utilizes data on age and sex composition to decide who among the population groups merits attention in terms of health services and programs.

A

Population Composition

15
Q

It is used to describe the sex composition of the population, the nurse computes for the sex ratio (compares the no. of males to the no. of females in the population).

A

Sex Composition

16
Q

Formula on getting “Sex Composition”

A

No. of males / No. of females * 100

It represents the No. of males for every 100 females in the population

17
Q

It helps in knowing the working population who are mainly the youths. It helps in knowing the extent of medical facilities to care for number of aged population.

A

Age Composition

17
Q

Two ways to describe the age composition of the population:

A
  • Median Age
  • Dependency Ratio
18
Q

Under age composition, it divides the population into two equal parts.

So, if the median age is said to be 19 years old, it means half of the population belongs to 19 years and above, while the other half belongs to ages below 19 years old.

A

Median Age

18
Q

Under age composition, it compares the number of economically dependent with the economically productive group in the population.

A

Dependency Ratio

19
Q

The economically dependent are those who belong to what age groups

A

0-14 and 65 and above age groups

20
Q

Considered to be economically productive are those within what age group

A

15 to 64 age group

21
Q

Formula on getting “Dependency Ratio”

A

Total Population of ECONOMICALLY DEPENDENT Total / Population of ECONOMICALLY PRODUCTIVE *100

No. of economically dependent for every 100 economically productive.

22
Q

It is a graphical representation of the age and sex composition of the population.

A

population pyramid

23
Q

Steps in constructing the pyramid:

A

i. Compute the percentage of the population falling in each age-sex group using the total population as the denominator.
ii. Each age group is represented by a horizontal bar. The first bar represents the youngest age group and drawn at the base of the pyramid.
iii. The bars for males are presented on the left side of the central vertical axis while bars for females are on the right side.
iv. The length of each bar corresponds to the % of the population falling in the specific age and sex group being plotted.

24
Q

It can be described in terms of urban-rural distribution, population density and crowding index.

A

Population distribution in space

  1. Urban-rural distribution
  2. Crowding index
  3. Population Density
25
Q

It illustrates the proportion of the people living in urban compared to the rural areas.

A

Urban-rural distribution

26
Q

It is described by dividing the number of persons in a household with the number of rooms used by the family for sleeping.

A

Crowding index

27
Q

Formula on getting “Crowding index”

A

No. of persons in a household/No. of rooms used for sleeping

28
Q

It determines how congested a place is and provides implications in terms of the adequacy of basic health services present in the community.

A

Population Density

28
Q

Formula on getting “Population Density”

A

No. of people/Land are in terms of sq. meter or kilometer
