About This Quiz

Welcome to the Electronic Frontier Classroom of the 21st Century. This is a case study/clinic review on sense organs. You will need to read the Google document titled ":Case Study - Patient Medical History". It is found on my science website: Mitchell's Cosmic Adventure. Com. The following test is basically an evaluation of medical history, treatment, and diagnosis for your patient.
Those of you have taken my case study tests. You know about T. E. M. (test exam mode). This mode of testing won't reveal any answers during the testing period. It will produced a report and certificate of progress for every attempt. I also have settings for random generated questions and answers for every attempt. This is an educational technique to cover all 30 questions.

    Correct Answer
    A. 20/63
    Explanation
    Mr. McCoy scored 20/63 on the visual acuity test for his right eye in the health clinic. This means that he can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 63 feet. This indicates that his visual acuity for his right eye is below average, as he needs to be closer to an object in order to see it clearly compared to someone with normal vision.

    Inspecting Dr. Majel Blackburn's prognosis for her male patient. Which two diseases share many of the symptoms exhibited by Mr. McCoy?

    • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

    • Rinne Test

    • Weber Test

    • Meniere's Disease

    • Fasting Plasma Glucose Test

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
    A. Meniere's Disease
    Explanation
    Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and Meniere's Disease share many of the symptoms exhibited by Mr. McCoy. Both conditions can cause dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by certain head movements, while Meniere's Disease is a chronic condition that causes recurring episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Since both diseases share similar symptoms, it is important to consider them as potential diagnoses for Mr. McCoy.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When Mr. McCoy was given a visual acuity test and his results was 20/80.  The bottom number is measured in feet a person with normal vision would have to stand to see the same chart letters clearly.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that in a visual acuity test, the results are expressed as a fraction. The top number represents the distance at which the test is conducted (in this case, 20 feet), and the bottom number represents the distance at which a person with normal vision would be able to see the chart letters clearly (in this case, 80 feet). Therefore, if Mr. McCoy's results were 20/80, it means that he can only see the chart letters clearly at a distance of 20 feet, whereas a person with normal vision would be able to see them clearly at a distance of 80 feet. Hence, the statement "The bottom number is measured in feet a person with normal vision would have to stand to see the same chart letters clearly" is true.

    The statement is false because there are no known drug interactions between Keflex and Tylenol. Drug interactions occur when two or more drugs interact with each other, potentially causing harmful effects or reducing the effectiveness of one or both medications. However, Keflex (cephalexin) and Tylenol (acetaminophen) are generally considered safe to take together and do not have any documented interactions. It is always important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before taking any medications to ensure their compatibility and safety.

    Select the diagnostic tests conducted on your 55 year old male patient related to his hearing difficulty.

    • Audiometric Hearing Test

    • Rinne Test

    • Weber Test

    • Snellen Eye Chart Test

    • Fasting Plasma Glucose Test

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Audiometric Hearing Test
    A. Rinne Test
    A. Weber Test
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Audiometric Hearing Test, Rinne Test, and Weber Test. These tests are specifically related to assessing the patient's hearing difficulty. The Audiometric Hearing Test measures the patient's ability to hear sounds of different frequencies and volumes. The Rinne Test compares air conduction to bone conduction to determine if there is any hearing loss. The Weber Test assesses if there is any unilateral hearing loss or if the hearing loss is equal in both ears. The Snellen Eye Chart Test and Fasting Plasma Glucose Test are unrelated to the patient's hearing difficulty and are not relevant diagnostic tests in this case.
