Question 1
You are using an ophthalmoscope to examine a patient s inner eye. You rotate
the lens selector clockwise, then counterclockwise in order to compensate for:
Response Rotating the lens selector compensates for myopia
Feedback: (nearsighted) or hyperopia (farsighted) in both the examiner
as well as the patient.
Question 2
Underestimation of blood pressure will occur if the blood pressure cuff s
bladder:
Response Cuffs that are too wide will underestimate blood pressure,
Feedback: which would happen with a cuff that is more than two-thirds
of the upper arm. Cuffs that are too narrow will give an
artificially high reading.
Question 3
Tuning forks with a frequency of 500 to 1000 Hz are most commonly used to
measure:
Response Normal speech has a range of 300 to 3000 Hz; therefore, the
Feedback: 500- to 1000-Hz fork is most often used because it can
estimate hearing loss in the range of normal speech.
Question 4
Which group is traditionally considered to be past-oriented?
Response Eastern Asians tend to define themselves as past oriented, in
Feedback: that they maintain traditions that were meaningful in the past
and that they greatly value their ancestors.
Question 5
, The patient tells you that his ears are stopped up. An objective assessment of
this complaint is achieved by using the:
Response This patient is describing eustachian tube dysfunction. The
Feedback: tympanometer measures compliance of the middle ear as air
pressures are varied. It is an objective means of assessing the
function of the ossicular chain, eustachian tube, and the
tympanic membrane.
Question 6
An example of a cold condition would be:
Question 7
A fixed image of any group that rejects its potential for originality or
individuality is known as a(n):
Response This definition describes stereotype. A norm, on the other hand,
Feedback: is a standard of allowable behavior within a group; ethnos
implies the same race or nationality; and acculturation is a
process of adopting another culture s behaviors. A custom
refers to a habitual activity of a group in a given situation.
Question 8
When performing transillumination of a body cavity, the use of which of the
following could be harmful to the patient?
Response A penlight, flashlight, or an otoscope light can safely be used;
Feedback: a halogen bulb can burn the skin. The test should be
performed in a darken room.
Question 9
A scale used to assess patients weight should be calibrated:
Response Obtaining weight begins with a manual calibration of the
Feedback: scale before the patient stands on the scale. Electronic scales
are automatically calibrated before each reading.
