________ (2 words, both capitalized) covers weight, height, frame size, body mass index.
Explanation
Clinical Anthropometry is the correct answer because it is a field of study that involves the measurement and analysis of various physical characteristics of an individual, including weight, height, frame size, and body mass index. These measurements are important in assessing an individual's overall health and determining their risk for certain diseases. Clinical Anthropometry is commonly used in medical and research settings to gather data and make informed decisions about an individual's health and well-being.Rate this question:

Body Mass Index (BMI)
Correct Answer(s)
A. Weight
A. Height
A. Frame size
A. Body Mass Index (BMI)Explanation
Clinical anthropometry covers various measurements related to the human body, including weight, height, frame size, and body mass index (BMI). These measurements are essential in assessing an individual's overall health and can provide valuable information about their nutritional status, growth patterns, and risk for certain diseases. Weight and height are fundamental measurements used to calculate BMI, which is a commonly used indicator of body fatness and overall health. Frame size, on the other hand, refers to the skeletal structure of an individual, which can impact their body composition and overall health. Therefore, clinical anthropometry encompasses these measurements to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's physical health.Rate this question:

Vital signs cover:
-
Temperature
-
Pulse Rate
-
Respiratory Rate
-
Weight
-
Blood Pressure (both arms, 2 positions [lying and sitting])
-
Height
Correct Answer(s)
A. Temperature
A. Pulse Rate
A. Respiratory Rate
A. Blood Pressure (both arms, 2 positions [lying and sitting])Explanation
The correct answer includes temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure (both arms, 2 positions [lying and sitting]). These vital signs are commonly used to assess a person's overall health and monitor any changes or abnormalities. Temperature indicates the body's internal balance, pulse rate measures the heart rate, respiratory rate assesses breathing patterns, and blood pressure provides information about cardiovascular health. Monitoring these vital signs can help identify potential health issues and guide medical interventions if necessary.Rate this question:

General Oberservation: Mental
-
Level of consciousness
-
Is patient awake, alert, responsive to others. (if not , assess for stupor or coma)
-
Pulse
-
Stiff muscles
Correct Answer(s)
A. Level of consciousness
A. Is patient awake, alert, responsive to others. (if not , assess for stupor or coma)Explanation
The correct answer is "Level of consciousness, Is patient awake, alert, responsive to others. (if not , assess for stupor or coma)". This answer is correct because it accurately identifies the key factors to observe in assessing the patient's mental state. The level of consciousness is an important indicator of the patient's overall neurological function and can provide valuable information about their responsiveness and awareness. Assessing for stupor or coma is essential in determining the severity of any potential neurological impairment.Rate this question:

If the following signs of distress are apparent, you need to act quickly.
-
Cardiac
-
Respiratory - difficulty breathing
-
Sweating
-
Smiling
Correct Answer(s)
A. Cardiac
A. Respiratory - difficulty breathing
A. SweatingExplanation
The signs of distress mentioned in the question are cardiac symptoms, respiratory symptoms (difficulty breathing), and sweating. These signs indicate a potential medical emergency and require immediate action. Sweating is a common symptom of cardiac distress as the body tries to cool down. Difficulty breathing can be a sign of respiratory distress and can be caused by various conditions such as asthma or heart failure. Therefore, if these signs are present, it is crucial to act quickly and seek medical assistance.Rate this question:
