    Explanation
    Undue influence refers to the act of intentionally persuading or manipulating someone into doing something against their will or better judgment. It involves taking advantage of a person's vulnerability, trust, or dependence to gain control over their decision-making process. This can be done through various tactics such as emotional manipulation, coercion, or exploitation of a position of power. Unlike duress, which involves the use of threats or force, undue influence focuses on psychological manipulation and abuse of trust. Fraud and breach of contract are separate concepts that do not specifically involve the intentional persuasion of someone against their will.

    • Felonies and contracts

    • Felonies and misdemeanors

    • Torts and contracts

    • Torts and misdemeanors

    Correct Answer
    A. Torts and contracts
    Explanation
    Civil law is a branch of law that deals with private disputes between individuals or organizations. It focuses on resolving conflicts and providing remedies for harm caused by one party to another. Torts are civil wrongs that result in harm or injury to someone, and contracts are legally binding agreements between parties. Therefore, civil law is concerned with both torts and contracts, making "Torts and contracts" the correct answer.

    Explanation
    Civil law is concerned with torts and contracts. Torts refer to civil wrongs or injuries caused to another person or their property, which can result in a legal liability. Contracts, on the other hand, are legally binding agreements between parties that outline their rights and obligations. Therefore, civil law focuses on resolving disputes related to torts (such as personal injury cases) and contracts (such as breach of contract disputes).

      “ Symptoms typically begin 12– 36 hours following ingestion of the bacterium and include vision problems, difficulty swallowing , nausea, and vomiting” describes:   

    • Bulimia

    • Food allergies

    • Botulism

    • Trichinosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Botulism
    Explanation
    The given description matches the symptoms of botulism. Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The symptoms usually start to appear within 12-36 hours after consuming the bacteria. These symptoms include vision problems, difficulty swallowing, nausea, and vomiting. Bulimia and food allergies are not characterized by these specific symptoms. Trichinosis is a parasitic infection that causes muscle pain and swelling, not the symptoms mentioned in the description. Therefore, the correct answer is botulism.

     Enables the thyroid gland to perform its function of controlling the rate at which foods are oxidized in the cells” is descriptive of: 

    • Minerals

    • Iodine

    • Vitamin B2

    • Phosphorus

    Correct Answer
    A. Iodine
    Explanation
    Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which controls the rate of food oxidation in the cells. Without iodine, the thyroid gland cannot produce enough thyroid hormones, which are essential for metabolism and energy production. Therefore, iodine enables the thyroid gland to perform its function of controlling the rate at which foods are oxidized in the cells.

    The correct daily fat intake for a patient on a low- fat/ low- cholesterol diet is:  

    • Between 35 and 45 g

    • No fat should be consumed

    • Between 20 and 30 g

    • Between 5 and 15 g

    Correct Answer
    A. Between 20 and 30 g
    Explanation
    The correct daily fat intake for a patient on a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet is between 20 and 30 g. This range ensures that the patient is consuming an adequate amount of fat for their daily needs while still adhering to the dietary restrictions of a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet. Consuming too much fat can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems, while consuming too little fat can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients. Therefore, the recommended range of 20-30 g strikes a balance between these concerns.

    Rate this question:

    • Offer, counteroffer, acceptance

    • Offer, acceptance, consideration

    • Offer, refusal, consideration

    Correct Answer
    A. Offer, acceptance, consideration
    Explanation
    The three parts of a contract are offer, acceptance, and consideration. An offer is a proposal made by one party to another, indicating a willingness to enter into a contract. Acceptance is the agreement by the other party to the terms of the offer. Consideration refers to something of value exchanged between the parties, such as money, goods, or services. These three elements are essential for a valid and enforceable contract.

    Physical touching of another person without the person’s consent is the definition of:  

    • Battery

    • Assault

    • Duress

    • Undue influence

    Correct Answer
    A. Battery
    Explanation
    Battery is defined as the intentional and harmful or offensive physical contact with another person without their consent. It involves the actual touching of another person, which distinguishes it from assault, which is the threat or attempt to cause harm. Duress and undue influence are unrelated to physical touching and refer to coercion or manipulation in different contexts. Therefore, the correct answer is Battery.

  • 25. 

     _______________ is not a fat- soluble vitamin: 

    • Vitamin K

    • Vitamin B12

    • Vitamin D

    • Vitamin A

    Correct Answer
    A. Vitamin B12
    Explanation
    Vitamin B12 is not a fat-soluble vitamin because it is water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are absorbed and stored in the body's fat tissues. In contrast, water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and are excreted through urine. Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in the formation of red blood cells and the proper functioning of the nervous system. It is commonly found in animal products such as meat, fish, and dairy.

    • The American Medical Association

    • The U. S. attorney general

    Correct Answer
    A. The state itself
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the state itself. The practice of medicine is regulated at the state level, with each state having its own medical board or regulatory body that sets standards and requirements for medical professionals. This includes licensing and disciplinary actions for physicians, as well as overseeing the practice of medicine within the state. The state has the authority to regulate medical practice in order to protect the health and safety of its residents.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Performing the correct treatment with errors is the defini-tion of:   

    • Malfeasance

    • Misfeasance

    • Nonfeasance

    • Proximate cause

    Correct Answer
    A. Misfeasance
    Explanation
    Misfeasance refers to the act of performing the correct treatment but making errors while doing so. It implies that the person responsible for the treatment has taken action, but their actions were not carried out correctly, resulting in harm or negative consequences. This is different from malfeasance, which involves intentionally performing the wrong treatment, and nonfeasance, which refers to the failure to perform the necessary treatment altogether. Proximate cause, on the other hand, is a legal concept that relates to the cause-and-effect relationship between an action and its consequences.

    • Vegetables

    Correct Answer
    A. Vegetables
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the nutrient classification that is not a fat-soluble vitamin. The options are water, vitamins, minerals, and vegetables. Water is not a fat-soluble vitamin, but it is not one of the six nutrient classifications. Vitamins, minerals, and vegetables are all nutrient classifications, but vegetables are not a fat-soluble vitamin. Therefore, vegetables is the correct answer.

    • Freedom of choice

    • Responsibility to improve the community

    • Continued study

    • Human dignity

    Correct Answer
    A. Freedom of choice
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Freedom of choice. Both the AMA (American Medical Association) and the AAMA (American Association of Medical Assistants) Code of Ethics uphold the principles of responsibility to improve the community, continued study, and human dignity. However, freedom of choice is not a principle that is shared by both organizations.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Which of these is not an intentional tort?  

    • Fraud

    • Duress

    • Battery

    • Shoplifting

    Correct Answer
    A. Shoplifting
    Explanation
    An intentional tort refers to a deliberate act that causes harm to another person or their property. Fraud, duress, and battery all involve intentional actions that result in harm. Shoplifting, on the other hand, is not typically considered an intentional tort because it involves the act of stealing goods from a store, which is a criminal offense rather than a civil wrong. While shoplifting is intentional in nature, it is not classified as an intentional tort in the legal sense.

    Altering or eliminating harmful genes or inserting normal genes into defective cells is known as: 

    • Gene therapy

    • Gene manipulation

    • Stem cell research

    • Cloning

    Correct Answer
    A. Gene therapy
    Explanation
    Gene therapy involves altering or eliminating harmful genes or inserting normal genes into defective cells. This process aims to treat genetic disorders by replacing or repairing the faulty genes responsible for the condition. It holds potential for treating a wide range of diseases, including inherited disorders and certain types of cancer. Gene manipulation refers to the alteration or manipulation of genes in general, which can include gene therapy but also encompasses other techniques such as genetic engineering. Stem cell research involves studying and using stem cells for medical purposes, while cloning is the process of creating genetically identical copies of an organism.

    Which of the following statements is not correct?

    • Ethics are difficult to enforce

    • Unlawful behavior is always unethical

    • Unethical behavior rarely results in a penalty

    • Unethical behavior is always unlawful.

    Correct Answer
    A. Unethical behavior is always unlawful.
    Explanation
    The statement "Unethical behavior is always unlawful" is incorrect because unethical behavior does not always violate the law. While some unethical actions may be illegal, there are also many unethical behaviors that are not explicitly prohibited by the law. Ethics and laws are not synonymous, as ethical standards are often subjective and vary across different cultures and contexts. Unethical behavior may not always result in a legal penalty, but it can still have negative consequences in terms of reputation, trust, and relationships.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

     What are the three ways medical licensure may be obtained?   

    • Reciprocity, registration, examination

    • Registration, endorsement, examination

    • Endorsement, examination, reciprocity

    • Clinical demonstration, registration, examination

    Correct Answer
    A. Endorsement, examination, reciprocity
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it lists the three ways medical licensure may be obtained: endorsement, examination, and reciprocity. Endorsement refers to obtaining a license in one state based on the fact that the applicant already holds a license in another state. Examination refers to passing a standardized medical exam to demonstrate knowledge and competence. Reciprocity refers to obtaining a license in one state based on the fact that the applicant already holds a license in another state, without having to retake the examination.
