Answer:

The correct answer is c. The prevalence of diabetes is now higher than previously recognized in the community.

Explanation:

If diabetes is successfully screened in a community that means a more portion of people or more percentage of people are found to be diabetic than it was estimated before so it shows that the prevalence of diabetes is increased now.

Incident only determine the number of new individual that got the disease in a given time period so it can go up and down but prevalence measure all the diseased person in a given time period and it show stable number and do not go up and down.

So as the prevalence is higher than expected the health board should increase funding for diabetic clinic in this community.

Preliminary diagnosis of marasmus, as done by the doctor above, is through physical examination. Weight and height of a particular child should be parallel to his/her age. Motion/mobility of the child/patient is also of consideration because those children with marasmus usually have lack energy to move.

The main symptom of marasmus is being underweight and loss of lot of muscle mass and subcutaneous fats (fat under the skin). It is also accompanied by stunted growth, respiratory infection, chronic diarrhea and intellectual disability. Nutrient deficiency is main cause of marasmus. They are deficient in food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc and Vitamin A. Initial treatment of marasmus is dried skim milk powder mixed with boiled water. Later on, vegetable oil like sesame, casein and sugar can be incorporated to increase energy content and density of the mixture. On his/her way to recovery, a more balanced diet is required. Rehydration through oral hydration is also a priority because of dehydration caused by diarrhea. Infections should also be treated by antibiotics.
