The method used to insert an artificial airway is called

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Intubation. Intubation is the process of inserting a tube into the airway to help with breathing. It is a specific procedure used to secure an artificial airway for patients who are unable to maintain their own airway. Telemetry (A) is a method of monitoring and transmitting data wirelessly, not related to airway insertion. Ventilation (C) refers to the movement of air in and out of the lungs, not the method of inserting an artificial airway. Dyspnea (D) is a term used to describe difficulty breathing, not the method of inserting an artificial airway.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because battery in legal terms refers to the intentional and unauthorized touching of another person without their consent. This action constitutes a violation of the person's physical autonomy and is legally considered a form of harm. Choices A, B, and D do not align with the definition of battery and are incorrect. Choice A refers to financial exploitation, choice B refers to verbal abuse, and choice D refers to a breach of confidentiality, none of which are related to the legal concept of battery.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Verbal communication involves the use of words to convey a message. Sending a text message involves typing and sending written words, making it a clear example of verbal communication. Crossing arms (choice B) and tapping feet (choice C) are non-verbal cues, while nodding (choice D) is a non-verbal gesture indicating agreement. These choices do not involve the use of words, unlike sending a text message (choice A), which directly uses language for communication.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Birth trauma. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement and posture, often caused by damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth. Birth trauma, such as oxygen deprivation during delivery, can lead to cerebral palsy. Vehicular accidents (A), accidents after the age of three (B), and communicable diseases (D) are not direct causes of cerebral palsy as they do not typically result in brain damage during the critical developmental period around birth.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The autoclave uses high pressure and temperature to sterilize objects by killing all microorganisms, including spores. This process ensures that no viable microorganisms remain on the objects, effectively preventing infection. Choice A is incorrect as some spores can be eliminated by the autoclave. Choice D is incorrect because disinfection does not guarantee the elimination of all microorganisms. Choice C is the correct answer as sterilization ensures the complete destruction or removal of all forms of microbial life, making the object safe for use.
