Question 1 of 5
What is a symptom of syphilis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Small painless sores. Syphilis typically presents with painless sores called chancres at the site of infection. These sores are usually firm, round, and often go unnoticed. Other choices like A (Green-yellow discharge) and B (Yellow or white discharge) are more indicative of other sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. Choice D (Warts on the genitals) is a symptom of genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), not syphilis.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Total knee replacement. A CPM machine is used post-surgery to aid in the recovery of joint mobility and prevent stiffness after a total knee replacement. It helps in promoting circulation, reducing swelling, and improving range of motion in the knee joint. For choices A, B, and C, a CPM machine is not typically used as part of the treatment plan for total hip replacement, bursitis, or phantom limb pain.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Perseverating. Perseverating refers to the act of repeating phrases or actions persistently.

Hoarding (C) is the act of collecting and keeping items excessively, not repeating phrases. Disrupting (D) means to interrupt or disturb, which is also unrelated to the repetition of phrases. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it directly relates to the practice described in the question.
Question 4 of 5
A tumor that is not cancerous is called a
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Benign tumor. Benign tumors are noncancerous growths that do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. They are typically localized and do not pose a significant threat to health. The term "benign" indicates that the tumor is not harmful and tends to have a slow growth rate. Rationale: 1. A: Nonspecific tumor - This term does not accurately describe the nature of a noncancerous tumor. Nonspecific typically refers to something that is not clearly defined or specific. 2. B: Malignant tumor - Malignant tumors are cancerous growths that can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. This choice is incorrect as it describes a type of tumor that is harmful and poses a serious health risk. 3. C: Septic tumor - The term "septic" refers to an infection caused by bacteria, which is not related to the classification of tumors.
Question 5 of 5
_______ involves the use of medication to calm a person.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sedation. Sedation involves the use of medication to calm a person by inducing a state of relaxation or sleepiness. Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of tissue, not calming. Respiration is the process of breathing, not calming. Supination is the rotation of the forearm, not related to calming. Sedation is the only term directly related to the use of medication for calming purposes.
