Question 1 of 5
The _____ blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading, while the _____ is the bottom number.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Systolic. Systolic blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading. It represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the bottom number, representing the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. Choice A (Radial) refers to a pulse point, not a blood pressure component. Choice C (Apical) refers to the location where the heartbeat is best heard, not a blood pressure measurement.
Question 2 of 5
A stool sample that is to be tested for ______ must be delivered to the lab immediately.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ova and parasites. Stool samples for ova and parasites testing must be delivered immediately to prevent the degradation of the specimens, ensuring accurate results. Ova and parasites can deteriorate quickly in the stool, affecting the validity of the test. Blood (A), constipation (B), and mucus (C) do not require immediate delivery to the lab as they are more stable and can be tested accurately even if the sample is not delivered immediately.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is a normal age-related change for the female reproductive system?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Vaginal walls become drier and thinner. This is a normal age-related change in the female reproductive system due to decreasing levels of estrogen during menopause. Estrogen helps maintain the thickness and moisture of vaginal walls. As estrogen levels decline with age, the vaginal walls can become drier and thinner, leading to symptoms like vaginal dryness and increased risk of infection. A, B, and C are incorrect: A: Lung capability increasing is not a normal age-related change for the female reproductive system. It is more related to factors like physical fitness and environmental exposures. B: Decreased response to vaccines is not a direct age-related change in the female reproductive system. It is influenced by factors like immune function and overall health. C: The amount of calcium in the body increasing is not a normal age-related change for the female reproductive system. It is more related to bone health and hormonal regulation.
Question 4 of 5
Oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the left ventricle via the
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Aorta. The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta, which is the main artery that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. This is a crucial step in the systemic circulation of the circulatory system. The aorta then branches out into smaller arteries, leading to the capillaries where gas exchange occurs. Explanation for Incorrect Choices: A: Right ventricle - The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, not oxygen-rich blood. C: Capillaries - Capillaries are tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs, but blood is not pumped directly from the left ventricle to capillaries. D: Veins - Veins carry blood back to the heart, but they do not receive blood directly from the left ventricle.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a function of the bones?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Lending support to body structures. Bones provide structural support for the body, helping maintain posture and protect internal organs. They also serve as attachment points for muscles, allowing movement. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Bones do not protect the body from disease (A), send messages throughout the body (C), or pump blood (D). Bones are not involved in immune responses, nervous system communication, or cardiovascular functions.
