Question 49
Number:
Correct D
Answer:
Rationale: Family Planning as a health intervention to promote the overall health of all Filipinos
particularly women and children by:
• preventing high-risk pregnancies;
• preventing unwanted/unplanned pregnancies;
• reducing maternal deaths; and
• responding to unmet needs of women.
Family Planning as a means towards responsible parenthood.

*Family planning, as an integral element of Reproductive Health, can be provided to

everyone in the reproductive age group with other RH services.

*Through the use of safe and effective FP methods, the risks of pregnancy among the
“too young”, “too old”, “too frequent”, and “too many” can be avoided.

*Provision of FP services presents an opportunity for screening and early detection of

breast and reproductive tract cancers.

of at least three years. This period provides ample time for mothers to regain their
health and to properly care for their newborns.
