Question 1 of 5

For a person with diabetes having too little food in the body can cause

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypoglycemia. When a person with diabetes has too little food, their blood sugar levels drop, leading to hypoglycemia. This occurs because there is not enough glucose in the body to provide energy, causing symptoms like weakness, confusion, and sweating. Diabetic alkalosis (A) is incorrect as it refers to a condition of high blood pH, not caused by low food intake. Insulin attack (C) is not a recognized medical term related to low food intake and diabetes. Hyperglycemia (D) is the opposite of hypoglycemia, characterized by high blood sugar levels, which would not be caused by too little food intake.

Question 2 of 5

Tartar is

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bacterial deposits. Tartar refers to hardened plaque that forms on teeth due to the mineralization of bacterial deposits. This is the correct choice because tartar is specifically made up of bacteria and their byproducts. A: Clenching the teeth is incorrect as it refers to bruxism. B: Gum inflammation is incorrect as it is known as gingivitis. C: Bad-smelling breath is incorrect as it is called halitosis.

Question 3 of 5

If a resident drinks 8 ounces of water with a meal how many milliliters (mL) has she consumed?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. Therefore, 8 ounces of water would be 8 x 29.5735 = 236.588 mL. However, we should round this to the nearest whole number, giving us 240 mL. This is why choice C is correct. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 8 ounces to milliliters. A (120 mL) is half the correct amount, B (80 mL) is less than half, and D (320 mL) is too high.

Question 4 of 5

__________ is a disorder of the urinary system in which the kidneys cannot filter some waste products.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Chronic renal failure. In chronic renal failure, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood. This leads to a buildup of waste products in the body, causing various complications. Urinary tract infection (B) is an infection of the urinary system, not a disorder related to the kidneys' filtering function. Urinary incontinence (C) is the inability to control bladder function and is not related to the kidneys' filtering ability. End-stage renal disease (D) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease where the kidneys have completely lost their function, leading to the need for dialysis or kidney transplant.

Question 5 of 5

An ovum will die if it is not fertilized by a sperm within

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (36 to 48 hours) because an ovum typically remains viable for up to 24 hours after ovulation, and sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days. Therefore, the window for fertilization is around 36 to 48 hours after ovulation. Choice A (2 to 4 hours) is too short for the sperm to reach the ovum and fertilize it. Choice B (10 to 12 hours) is also too short considering the lifespan of both the ovum and sperm. Choice D (24 to 48 hours) is too broad and does not account for the optimal timing for fertilization.
