Q1 · Kwashiorkor
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Kwashiorkor is oedematous protein-energy malnutrition, with bilateral pitting oedema, hepatomegaly and hair and skin changes, but relatively preserved fat. Marasmus is severe wasting of fat and muscle without oedema.
Q2 · Marasmus
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Marasmus features severe wasting of muscle and subcutaneous fat, giving an old-man appearance, without oedema. Kwashiorkor by contrast is defined by the presence of oedema.
Q3 · Vitamin A Deficiency
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Bitot spots, foamy triangular conjunctival patches, are a sign of vitamin A deficiency, which also causes night blindness and, if severe, keratomalacia. Vitamin A prophylaxis is part of child health programmes.
Q4 · Iodine Deficiency
MediumExplanation
Universal salt iodisation is the most effective and sustainable strategy to prevent iodine deficiency disorders such as goitre and cretinism. It is a cornerstone of national nutrition policy.
Q5 · Growth Monitoring
MediumExplanation
Serial weight-for-age plotted on a growth chart tracks a child's growth trajectory, detecting faltering early. The direction of the curve matters more than a single reading, and weight is the most sensitive short-term indicator.
Q6 · Breastfeeding
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months, after which complementary feeding is introduced while breastfeeding continues up to 2 years or beyond. Exclusive means no other food or water.
Q7 · Anthropometry
HardExplanation
MUAC is a simple field measure of acute malnutrition, largely age-independent in children aged 6 to 59 months. A low MUAC identifies severe acute malnutrition and higher mortality risk, useful for rapid community screening.
Nutrition sits within Community Medicine, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 4 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Nutrition marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Community Medicine examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
