Appeared in: BHU NO-2019

Explanation

  • The question contains a typographical error; 'Yogo' should be 'Yoga'. The app in question is the 'Yoga Locator' app.
  • This application was launched by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, as a digital initiative to promote yoga.
  • Its main purpose is to help users find yoga centres, certified instructors, and public yoga events in their vicinity.
  • This initiative aligns with the government's broader goal of promoting wellness activities like yoga through programs such as Ayushman Bharat. (SRC_19903)

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: The app is not designed for locating cycle tracks or bicycle-sharing services. This is a completely different category of service.
  • Option B: The app is focused on health and wellness through yoga, not on travel or accommodation services.
  • Option D: This is a distractor created based on the phonetic similarity between the typo 'Yogo' and 'Yoghurt'. The app has no connection to dairy products or food outlets.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Awareness of government-led digital health initiatives in India as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • Nurses can recommend holistic health practices like yoga for stress management, improved mental clarity, and overall well-being to patients.
  • Knowledge of credible, government-backed health apps like the Yoga Locator allows nurses to guide the public towards reliable resources for preventive health.
  • Yoga has proven physiological benefits, including enhancing vagal tone, reducing stress hormone (cortisol) levels, and improving cardiorespiratory parameters, which can be beneficial in managing chronic conditions. (SRC_19905)
How to Approach the Question
  • First, read the question carefully and identify the key term: 'Yogo locator app'.
  • Recognize that 'Yogo' is likely a typographical error for 'Yoga', a common subject for health initiatives in India.
  • Re-evaluate the question as 'What is the purpose of the Yoga locator app?'.
  • Analyze the options based on this corrected understanding. 'Yoga centre' is the most logical and direct answer.
  • Eliminate the other options as they are either unrelated (cycle track, hotel) or a clear phonetic distractor (yoghurt).
