Question

Neonatal Tetanus is well controlled by all, except:

• A. Antibiotics
• B. Clean delivery surface
• C. Clean blade for cutting the cord and clean tie for the cord
• D. Tetanus immunization

Hint:

Neonatal tetanus can be effectively prevented by ensuring clean delivery practices and immunization of the mother with tetanus toxoid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand neonatal tetanus control.
Neonatal tetanus is a preventable disease caused by contamination of the umbilical cord during delivery. Control measures include:
- Clean delivery surface (2),
- Clean blade for cutting the cord and clean tie for the cord (3),
- Tetanus immunization (4). However, antibiotics (1) are not the primary control measure for neonatal tetanus, as the disease prevention is primarily based on proper hygiene during delivery and immunization.
