Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified
  • Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct: ASHAs act as health activists and facilitators. They escort pregnant women for antenatal care, use kits like Nishchay for early pregnancy detection, and counsel the community on nutrition, immunization, and sanitation.
  • Statement 4 is incorrect: ASHAs are community link workers and not trained skilled birth attendants (SBAs); hence, they do not conduct deliveries themselves but promote institutional delivery.
