Question 1 of 5
When a joint is extended beyond its normal motion it is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hyperextended. When a joint is extended beyond its normal range of motion, it is considered hyperextended. This means that the joint is moved past its usual limit in the direction opposite to flexion. Flexion (choice A) is the bending of a joint, not extending it. Opposed (choice B) refers to two things being against each other and is not related to joint motion. Pronation (choice C) is the inward rotation of the forearm, not joint extension. Hyperextension is the only choice that accurately describes the scenario of a joint being extended beyond its normal motion limit.
Question 2 of 5
Employers are required to provide _____________ vaccines free of charge to employees.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hepatitis B. This is because Hepatitis B is an occupational hazard for healthcare workers, requiring employers to provide the vaccine to employees free of charge. Measles, Ebola, and Malaria are not typically considered occupational hazards in most work settings, so providing vaccines for these diseases is not a legal requirement for employers. Hepatitis B vaccination helps protect employees from potential exposure in the workplace, making it a necessary and mandated vaccine for certain occupations.
