Sample Saber TyT Salud Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Saber TyT Salud exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In a centro de salud in Magangué, PAI coverage among rural children has fallen after a measles rumor. Which promoción de la salud action best fits the population’s needs, characteristics, and this evento de interés en salud pública?

A.Organize intercultural PAI outreach and community dialogue so families can complete the current national immunization scheme

B.Open a measles isolation ward and wait for febrile children to arrive before acting

C.Prescribe antibiotics to every child with a cough until the rumor ends

D.Postpone all immunization until the rumor disappears on its own

Explanation: Promoción de la salud for a vaccine-preventable evento de interés en salud pública starts from population access and trust, not from waiting for cases. PAI is Colombia’s Programa Ampliado de Inmunizaciones; intercultural outreach matches rural needs without inventing a private schedule.

2A colegio in Soacha reports long sitting time and sugary kiosk sales among adolescents. Using Carta de Ottawa ideas, which promoción de la salud package should the tecnólogo prioritize?

A.Refer every student with a high body-mass index to bariatric evaluation as the first action

B.Give a single lecture on calorie formulas and consider the school’s job done

C.Work with the school to add daily activity, healthier kiosk rules, and a student health committee

D.Move physical education off the timetable so students have more time for exam drilling

Explanation: The Carta de Ottawa combines ambientes favorables, acción comunitaria, and aptitudes personales. Changing the school environment and giving students a role is promotion; a one-off lecture or a surgical pathway is not a population-level response.

3An ESE in Riohacha serves Wayuu settlements where families travel far for episodic sick visits. Which APS-oriented promoción de la salud move best matches that population?

A.Concentrate all health education in the hospital specialist clinics in the city

B.Place first-contact education, PAI, and family follow-up in the community with local leaders

C.Replace community work with a monthly specialist camp that only treats advanced disease

D.Ask families to come only when a child is already severely ill

Explanation: APS orients services toward first contact, continuity, and the community. For a dispersed population, promoción de la salud belongs in the settlement, with leaders, rather than in distant curative clinics.

4A junta de acción comunal in Tumaco asks the técnico de salud pública how to respond to frequent childhood diarrhea without turning the puesto de salud into an emergency room. Which action is promoción de la salud?

A.Stock more intravenous fluids and wait for dehydrated children

B.Ban breastfeeding so mothers use commercial formula that looks cleaner

C.Close community water meetings because diarrhea is only a hospital problem

D.Support safe water practices, handwashing skills, and exclusive breastfeeding promotion with the community

Explanation: Promoción de la salud builds skills and supportive environments around water, hygiene, and feeding. Exclusive breastfeeding and safe water are population actions; expanding only intravenous treatment is curative.

5Older adults in a Bogotá high-rise rarely leave their apartments and buy ultra-processed food from the lobby shop. Which promoción de la salud plan fits this group?

A.Create walking groups, lobby fruit options, and peer sessions on everyday movement

B.Offer joint-replacement surgery as the main municipal response

C.Tell residents that aging makes activity pointless

D.Limit contact to annual specialist appointments downtown

Explanation: Carta de Ottawa work for this population means ambientes favorables in the building, aptitudes personales for movement and food choice, and acción comunitaria among neighbors. Surgery and distant clinics do not promote health in daily life.

6A coastal municipio declares dengue an evento de interés en salud pública. Households store water in uncovered albercas. Which promoción de la salud action should the team lead with the community?

A.Promise that hospital intensive care will replace household water practices

B.Distribute antibiotics to every household as a seasonal routine

C.Organize neighborhood agreements to cover, wash, and brush tanks and remove unused containers

D.Tell residents promotion is finished once a fumigation truck has passed once

Explanation: For dengue, promoción de la salud uses acción comunitaria and ambientes favorables around domestic water. Covering and brushing tanks reduces Aedes aegypti breeding sites and matches this population’s water-storage reality.

7In an ESE maternity ward in Pasto, formula company posters dominate the hallway and staff offer formula packs as a ‘welcome gift.’ Which promoción de la salud response is appropriate?

A.Increase formula gifts so mothers feel supported

B.Protect, support, and promote breastfeeding and remove commercial pressure from the service

C.Tell mothers that breastfeeding is outdated in cities

D.Keep the posters because they decorate the ward

Explanation: Reorienting services and creating a supportive environment for breastfeeding is classic promoción de la salud. Commercial pressure in the facility undermines that environment.

8A municipal council in Bucaramanga can fund either a tobacco-free public-space ordinance with cessation support or a new cosmetic clinic. For promoción de la salud, which choice matches Carta de Ottawa política pública saludable?

A.The cosmetic clinic, because appearance is the main health determinant

B.Neither, because public policy cannot affect health

C.Only a TV spot with no change in public spaces

D.The tobacco-free ordinance plus accessible cessation support

Explanation: Ottawa’s healthy public policy changes the rules and environments that shape tobacco use, and support services develop personal skills for quitting. A cosmetic clinic does not address a population tobacco problem.

9An IPS in Valledupar runs only emergency and procedure rooms. Community leaders want help on PAI, healthy eating, and mental well-being. How should the service be reoriented for promoción de la salud?

A.Add scheduled community education, PAI access, and counseling while keeping essential care

B.Refuse community work because TyT health workers only assist surgery

C.Replace all clinical care with motivational posters

D.Charge extra so only paying families receive health information

Explanation: Reorientar los servicios de salud means adding promotion and prevention functions to the IPS, not abandoning care. PAI access and community education match identified needs.

10In an Afro-Pacific consejo comunitario, malaria and dengue circulate. Outside teams arrive with Spanish-only leaflets and no local leaders. Which promoción de la salud approach fits this population?

A.Ignore community authorities so the scientific message stays ‘pure’

B.Translate nothing because pictures replace dialogue

C.Plan actions with community authorities, in local language and practices, around water, nets, and care-seeking

D.Move all families to the departmental capital as the only healthy option

Explanation: Promoción de la salud must match population characteristics. Intercultural planning with authorities is acción comunitaria; it does not require abandoning technical content on water, nets, and timely care.

About the Saber TyT Salud Exam

The ICFES module Promoción de la Salud y Prevención de la Enfermedad is a Saber TyT specific-competency module for técnico profesional and tecnológico programs. Saber TyT is a separately named Examen de Estado de la Calidad de la Educación Superior under Ley 1324 de 2009, with a 0–200 reporting scale, distinct from Saber Pro (0–300). ICFES’s 2026-2 combinatoria table assigns combinatoria 40 (this module) to several Ciencias de la salud NBCs at TyT level, including Enfermería, Instrumentación quirúrgica, Medicina, Optometría y otros programas de ciencias de la salud, Salud pública, and Terapias; NBC Odontología and Nutrición y dietética are combinatoria 0 (generics only). The IES may instead assign combinatoria 0 for any NBC. The 2026-2 guide specifies 50 Spanish single-answer multiple-choice items and two afirmaciones (promotion; prevention including antiseptic technique and hospital waste). Unlike the sibling Saber Pro PyP guide, the 2026-2 TyT guide’s extracted table of contents does not include a published percentage table; this bank therefore distributes practice items by the six published evidencias (two promotion, four prevention) rather than copying Saber Pro’s 30%/70% split. This free bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of the official afirmaciones — not an official ICFES translation, not a format simulation of the Spanish booklet, and not a substitute for the generic session’s open Comunicación Escrita task or for clinical or community performance.

Assessment

Saber TyT session 1 (all candidates): five generic modules in 4 hours 40 minutes, including an open Comunicación Escrita task. Session 2 (first-time IES-inscribed students, if assigned): this module when the IES selects combinatoria 40. Combinatoria 0 is generics only. ICFES Tabla 1 times one specific-module session at 1 hour 30 minutes.

Time Limit

Session 2: 1 hour 30 minutes when this specific module is assigned, plus 4 hours 40 minutes for the generic session (ICFES Oferta de combinatorias Saber TyT 2026-2).

Passing Score

No pass/fail. Each Saber TyT module scored 0–200 without decimals and reported separately. These scores are not averaged into the Puntaje Global.

Exam Fee

No separate module or combinatoria 40 fee is published. Eligible first-time students registered by an IES pay the applicable 2026 ordinary Saber TyT fee: public IES COP 126,000; private IES COP 126,000–224,000 by tuition band; graduates COP 224,000 (Resolución 000629 of 11 November 2025).

Saber TyT Salud Study Tips from Top Performers

1The 2026-2 TyT guide publishes six evidencias, not a percentage table. Spend about one-third of study time on promotion and two-thirds on prevention, antisepsis, and waste.

2Keep promoción (enabling health) distinct from prevención (reducing a specific disease risk) — ICFES splits them into two afirmaciones.

3Evidencia 1.2 is worker health, not only community campaigns. Occupational exposure and AT/EP prevention belong here.

4For waste items, use Resolución 591 de 2024: white/green/black for non-hazardous streams, red for biological or infectious risk, and hazard-specific labeling rather than an invented universal color for radioactive or other hazardous waste.

5These MCQs are an English study aid. Practise also with ICFES's Spanish cuadernillos, and write a timed argumentative text for Comunicación Escrita, which this bank does not replace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ICFES Saber TyT Promoción de la Salud y Prevención de la Enfermedad?

It is a specific-competency module of Colombia's Saber TyT Examen de Estado. When an IES assigns combinatoria 40, first-time candidates sit 50 Spanish single-answer multiple-choice items on health promotion, disease prevention, antiseptic technique, and hospital waste.

Is this the same as the generic Saber TyT bank?

No. The generic Saber TyT sitting is a separate 4-hour-40-minute session and makes the Puntaje Global. This module is the occupational sitting and is scored separately 0–200.

Is this the same as Saber Pro Promoción de la Salud?

They share similar afirmaciones, but they are different Exámenes de Estado. Saber TyT reports 0–200; Saber Pro reports 0–300. The 2026-2 TyT guide does not publish the percentage table that the Saber Pro sibling guide does.

How many questions and how long is the official module?

The 2026-2 orientation guide states 50 selección múltiple con única respuesta items. ICFES times one specific-module session at 1 hour 30 minutes, in addition to the 4-hour-40-minute generic session.

How is the module scored?

There is no pass/fail cut. Each Saber TyT module is scored 0–200 without decimals and reported separately. Those scores are not averaged into the Puntaje Global.

Is this practice bank in the same language and format as the real exam?

No. ICFES issues the current module guide and items in Spanish, and the generic session includes an open writing task. This bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of the official afirmaciones, not an official translation, not a Spanish-booklet simulation, and not a substitute for clinical or community practice.
