Hi mrunal sir, can u plz tel Whts d answer for 13 and 29 question…..
what should be answer of que 22?
if u can write 10 to 20 articles like this regarding current affairs it will be of immense use to us…….
i guess the answer for 22nd question has to be B..doctor never prescribe iron folic acid tablets for children under 1 yr i.e infants.. kindly check and correct
and 58 question for parkinsons we use DBS which is deep brain stimulation which is also neuro stimulation… kindly correct..im a doctor by the way
Ans of Q No. 22 should be D.Please elucidate.
Sorry not D but B.
wifs programme aims to decreasing prevalence of anaemia in adolescent age group.
on other hand …malnutrition is bcos of deficiency of protiens and colories….
iron is mineral…so it nowhere helps to reduce malnutrition but surely it helps to prevent aneamia.
After getting the truckload of data this exercise was necessary for the digestion. Thanks mrunal.
