When patient care is not documented what can be assumed about the patient's treatment?
-
No care or treatment was accomplished
-
There is no follow up care required
-
There were no complications
-
The outcome was positive
Correct Answer
A. No care or treatment was accomplishedExplanation
If patient care is not documented, it can be assumed that no care or treatment was accomplished. Documentation is essential in healthcare to track and record the care provided to patients. Without proper documentation, it becomes difficult to determine the treatments administered, medications given, and any complications that may have occurred. It also hinders effective communication and coordination among healthcare providers. Therefore, the absence of documentation suggests that no care or treatment was accomplished for the patient.Rate this question:

What part of the cell provides the primary source of cellular energy?
-
Ribosomes
-
Lysosomes
-
Peroxisomes
-
Mitochondria
Correct Answer
A. MitochondriaExplanation
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they are responsible for producing the majority of the cell's energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration. They generate ATP by breaking down glucose and other organic molecules in a process called aerobic respiration. This ATP is then used by the cell as a primary source of energy for various cellular activities such as metabolism, growth, and movement. Therefore, mitochondria provide the primary source of cellular energy.Rate this question:

Because of its striated appearance, which tissue is similar to skeletal muscle tissue?
-
Nervous
-
Epithelial
-
Smooth muscle
-
Cardiac muscle
Correct Answer
A. Cardiac muscleExplanation
Cardiac muscle is similar to skeletal muscle tissue because of its striated appearance. Both cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues have a striped or striated pattern due to the arrangement of contractile proteins within the cells. This striated appearance indicates that both tissues have organized sarcomeres, which are the basic units of contraction. In contrast, smooth muscle tissue lacks this striated appearance and has a different arrangement of contractile proteins. Nervous and epithelial tissues do not have a striated appearance and are not similar to skeletal muscle tissue in this aspect.Rate this question:
