Statistics from a public health nurse is provided below. Assist her in completing her report by determining the rate for

Each vital statistic based on the following information. If a rate cannot be calculated, note what is missing. Provide

The rate or information needed. For this county, the mid-year population is 500, 000 the estimated female

Note that all rates are multiplied by 1,000 except maternal mortality is a factor of 10, 000.

Available information for the year

Births: 750
Deaths: 335
Marriages: 675
Divorces: 375
Fetal deaths: (20+ weeks gestation) 42
Infant deaths: 25
Neonatal deaths: (<28 days) 18

Answer 1

In this problem we will evaluate various fertility and mortality rates based on the information provided by a public health nurse and provide the required rate or information needed for those rates that cannot be calculated from the data. We will attempt to evaluate Crude Death Rate, Crude Birth Rate, Crude Divorce Rate, Crude Marriage Rate, Fetal Death Rate, Fertility Rate,Infant Mortality Rate, Neonatal Mortality Rate,Perinatal Mortality Rate and Maternal Mortality Rate from the relevant formulas provided in the question.
