Question 1 of 5
Experimental methodology aims to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Certainly! The correct answer is B: Test cause-and-effect relationships. Experimental methodology involves manipulating an independent variable to observe its effects on a dependent variable. This allows researchers to establish causal relationships between variables. Describing a phenomenon (Choice A) is more aligned with observational studies, not experiments. Gathering descriptive data (Choice C) refers to methods like surveys or interviews, which are not exclusive to experimental designs. Identifying variables (Choice D) is a preliminary step in designing an experiment but does not capture the essence of experimental methodology, which is to establish cause-and-effect relationships through controlled manipulation.

Question 3 of 5
A two y/o with antibiotic ear drops
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, "Down and back." For a two-year-old with antibiotic ear drops, the ear should be gently pulled down and back to straighten the ear canal. This position helps ensure that the drops reach the eardrum effectively. Option A, "Up and back," is incorrect as it can cause the drops to run out of the ear. Options C and D are likely left blank as they are irrelevant to the proper administration of ear drops.
Question 4 of 5
True statement
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because sperm released on ejaculation typically numbers around 200-300 million, not 500 million. This high number is crucial for increasing the chances of fertilization. Option B is incorrect as eggs are not released during menstruation; rather, they are released during ovulation, with only one egg being released per cycle. Options C and D are not provided, but they are automatically incorrect as the correct answer is A.
Question 5 of 5
Best position to expel flatulence
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Knee-chest position. This position helps to release gas by allowing the gas to move upward and out more easily. In the knee-chest position, the body is bent forward at the waist and the hips are flexed, creating a straight path for gas to escape. This position also reduces any pressure on the abdomen, facilitating the expulsion of flatulence. Prone position (choice A) may not be as effective as it does not help in releasing gas upward. Choices C and D are not provided, but they would be incorrect as they do not offer a suitable position for expelling flatulence effectively.
