NHA CCMA Final Review Questions and
Answers.
Weber test -
\Test done by placing the stem of a vibrating tuning fork on the midline of the head and
having the patient indicate in which ear the tone can be heard.
Rinne test -
\hearing test using a tuning fork; checks for differences in bone conduction and air
conduction
Snellen chart -
\chart containing symbols that is used in the testing of visual acuity
50/20 vision -
\Below average: what patient sees letter at 20 ft is what normal population sees at 50 ft
Ishihara test -
\tests for color vision
scratch test -
\type of allergy testing in which body is exposed to allergens through a light scratch in
skin
if a wheel occurs within the first 15 minutes, the allergist can identify the substance as a
possible allergen
Hashimoto's disease -
\an autoimmune disease in which the body's own antibodies attack and destroy the cells
of the thyroid gland
Graves disease -
\hyperthyroidism caused by an autoimmune response
F-
\Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - testes and ovaries
L-
\Luteinizing hormone (LH) - testes and ovaries
A-
\(ACTH) adrenocorticotropic - cortex
,T-
\Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) - thyroid
P-
\Prolactin (PRL) -mammary glands
I-
\Ignore
G-
\Growth hormone (GH) - bones
FLATPIG hormone -
\
artery -
\A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart (oxygenated)
arterioles -
\smaller branches of the arteries (oxygenated blood)
Veins -
\Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart (deoxygenated)
venules -
\small veins (deoxygenated)
capillary -
\smallest blood vessel; brings nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and absorbs carbon
dioxide and waste products
endocardium -
\inner lining of the heart
Pericardium -
\membranous sac enclosing the heart
endo- -
\within, inner
peri- -
\surrounding, around
HR -
\heart rate
, VS -
\vital signs (TPR & BP)
electrocardiogram -
\record of the electrical activity of the heart
electrical impulse is generated by -
\SA node
SA node (sinoatrial node) -
\pacemaker of the heart
from SA node, impulse travels to -
\AV node
AV node (atrioventricular node) -
\gatekeeper
from AV node impulse travels to -
\bundle of His & through bundle branches located in the ventricular septum
after bundle of His and bundle branches where's last place electrical impulse reaches? -
\Purkinje fibers
Purkinje fibers cause ventricles to -
\contract and pump blood into pulmonary artery and/or aorta
entire process of electrical impulses via heart -
\Cardiac Cycle
Normal Blood Pressure (BP) range -
\120/80 mmHg
Normal heart rate (HR) -
\60-100 bpm
Normal respiratory rate (RR) -
\12-20 breaths per minute (BPM)
RR -
\respiratory rate
P-
\pulse
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) -
