Questions on Perioperative Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following factors is NOT related to determinants of personality development?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Personality development is influenced by factors like culture, environment, and social groups, which shape an individual's traits and behaviors over time. 'Nutrition,' is correct as the answer because it is not a direct determinant of personality, though it impacts physical health. Culture (Choice A) defines values and norms that mold personality, as seen in cross-cultural psychology studies. Group (Choice B) refers to social interactions, such as peer influence, which shape traits, per social learning theory by Albert Bandura. Environment (Choice C) encompasses upbringing and surroundings, critical in Erik Erikson's psychosocial development stages. Nutrition, while essential for brain development and overall health, lacks a direct link to personality traits like extroversion or conscientiousness in psychological models, unlike the other options. Its effects are more physiological than psychological, making D the factor least related to personality development, consistent with established theories focusing on social and environmental influences.
Question 2 of 5
In law, the burden of proof of negligence is on the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In legal systems, particularly civil law, the burden of proof for negligence lies with the plaintiff—the party bringing the case. 'Plaintiff,' is correct because they must demonstrate the defendant's duty, breach, causation, and damages, as per tort law principles (e.g., Prosser's Law of Torts). 'Defendant,' defends against claims, not proves them, unless counterclaiming. 'Court,' adjudicates, not bears proof. 'Corporate Organization,' is irrelevant unless a party, and even then, it's the plaintiff's role. The plaintiff's obligation to establish negligence, rooted in common law traditions like the U.S. or UK systems, makes A the accurate answer, reflecting the adversarial process where the accuser substantiates the claim.
Question 3 of 5
Which of these routes of drug administration has a demerit of patient being tethered to 'lines and bottles'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The demerit of being tethered to lines and bottles' implies restricted mobility due to continuous delivery equipment. 'Intravenous,' is correct because IV administration often requires catheters and drip bags, limiting movement, as seen in hospital settings (e.g., IV fluids). 'Subcutaneous,' involves small injections or pumps, less restrictive. 'Intramuscular,' is a single shot, not continuous. 'Enteral,' is oral or tube feeding, not involving lines' like IVs. IV's reliance on infusion setups—common in prolonged treatments—makes A the precise answer, reflecting its practical drawback in patient care.
Question 4 of 5
According to the ASA physical status classification system, patients with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life are categorized as
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The ASA classification assesses patient risk before anesthesia. 'ASA PS 4,' is correct for patients with severe systemic disease posing a constant life threat (e.g., unstable angina), per ASA guidelines. 'ASA PS 3,' is severe disease without immediate danger (e.g., stable diabetes). 'ASA PS 2,' is mild systemic disease (e.g., controlled hypertension). 'ASA PS 5,' is moribund patients unlikely to survive 24 hours. ASA PS 4's focus on life-threatening conditions matches the description, making D the precise answer.
Question 5 of 5
Significance of the study in a research work briefly states all the following except
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The significance of a study explains its value and impact. 'Relationship between two variables,' is correct as the exception because it's part of hypotheses or findings, not significance, per research guides (e.g., Creswell). 'The overall impact...,' and 'Potential benefits...,' highlight societal and individual value. 'Possible usefulness and contribution,' addresses practical implications. Significance focuses on why the study matters, not specific variable links, making C the odd one out, aligned with research structure.
