Q: Surgical gloves are disposed in which BMW category ?

Yellow Category (Infectious Waste). ***Yellow Category (Infectious Waste)*** - Surgical gloves are classified as **infectious waste** because they come into contact with blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials during surgical procedures. - The Yellow Category in Bio-Medical Waste Management (BMW) Rules is designated for infectious waste, including items contaminated with **blood and body fluids**. - This is the correct disposal category for used surgical gloves. *Solid Waste* - This is a broad category for general waste that is not infectious or hazardous. - Surgical gloves, due to their potential contamination with infectious materials, are classified more specifically as biomedical waste under the Yellow category, not general solid waste. *Expired or Discarded Medicines* - This category is for pharmaceutical waste, including unused or expired medications. - Surgical gloves are medical devices used for protection, not medicinal products, and therefore do not belong in this category. *Human Anatomical Waste* - This category includes human tissues, organs, body parts, and recognizable anatomical specimens. - Surgical gloves are protective barriers used during procedures, not anatomical waste from the patient, and are classified separately as infectious waste.

Q: According to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) - 'Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages', what is the target for reducing the global maternal mortality ratio by 2030?

70. ***70*** - SDG 3 aims to reduce the **global maternal mortality ratio** to less than **70 per 100,000 live births** by 2030. - This target emphasizes improving maternal health outcomes worldwide and preventing deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth. *100* - While a reduction is sought, a target of 100 per 100,000 live births is **not ambitious enough** to meet the specific goal set by SDG 3. - The established global target is lower, reflecting a greater commitment to maternal health. *50* - A target of 50 per 100,000 live births would be **more ambitious** than the SDG 3 goal. - While desirable, it is not the specific, agreed-upon target for the global average under SDG 3. *90* - A target of 90 per 100,000 live births is **higher** than the established SDG 3 goal. - This value does not align with the specific global maternal mortality ratio target set for 2030.

Q: Which of the following is a technique based on behavior sciences methods?

Management by objective. ***Management by objective*** - **Management by objective (MBO)** is a strategic management model that aims to improve organizational performance by clearly defining **objectives** that are agreed to by both management and employees. - It is based on **behavioral science principles** because it emphasizes employee participation, motivation, and goal setting to achieve desired outcomes. *Systems analysis* - **Systems analysis** is a problem-solving technique that involves breaking down a complex system into its component parts to study how they interact. - It is primarily an engineering and computer science discipline, focused on **optimizing processes** and **information flow**, rather than explicit behavioral methods. *Decision making* - **Decision making** is a cognitive process of selecting a course of action from various alternatives. - While influenced by human behavior, it is a broad concept that encompasses various analytical and intuitive approaches, and is not solely a behavior sciences method. *Network analysis* - **Network analysis** is a method for visualizing and analyzing interconnected nodes (e.g., people, organizations) and their relationships. - It is often used in **sociology, epidemiology, and computer science** to understand structures and interactions, but it is not inherently a technique based on behavioral sciences methods in the same way MBO is.
