Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Purpose of amniocentesis

    • A.

      To poke the women in the belly with a needle

    • B.

      To retreive liquid from the amnion

    • C.

      Look for any genetic disorders

    Correct Answer
    C. Look for any genetic disorders
    Explanation
    Amniocentesis is a medical procedure performed during pregnancy to examine the amniotic fluid for genetic disorders. It involves inserting a needle into the woman's belly to retrieve a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains cells from the baby. This fluid is then analyzed to detect any genetic abnormalities or chromosomal disorders in the fetus, such as Down syndrome or spina bifida. Amniocentesis is typically recommended for women at higher risk of having a baby with genetic conditions, allowing them to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and potential medical interventions.

This device allows healthcare professionals to monitor the baby's heart rate and assess its overall well-being. By tracking the baby's heart rate, doctors can identify any abnormalities or potential issues that may require further investigation or intervention. This information helps in ensuring the health and safety of the fetus during pregnancy and childbirth.

    Which are local anesthtics used during a MOS

    • A.

      Novocaine

    • D.

      Tylenol

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Lidocaine
    C. Xylocaine
    Explanation
    Lidocaine and Xylocaine are both local anesthetics commonly used during a Medical Officer of the Ship (MOS) procedure. These drugs work by blocking the nerve signals in a specific area of the body, numbing the area and providing pain relief during the procedure. Novocaine and Tylenol are not local anesthetics and are not typically used for this purpose.

  • 6. 

    What is inflammation

    • A.

      Skin turns red and inflammed because of MO's

    • B.

      Body works to destroy MOs, remove debris and damaged tissue

    • C.

      Pus accumulates

    Correct Answer
    B. Body works to destroy MOs, remove debris and damaged tissue
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the body works to destroy MOs, remove debris, and damaged tissue. Inflammation is a natural response of the body to protect itself from harmful stimuli such as pathogens. When the skin turns red and inflamed, it indicates an immune response triggered by the presence of microorganisms (MOs). The body's immune system activates to destroy these MOs, remove any debris or damaged tissue caused by the infection, and initiate the healing process. Pus accumulation is also a common sign of inflammation, as it consists of dead cells, bacteria, and tissue fluid.

    What is exudate

    • A.

      Pus

    • B.

      A non benign polyp

    • C.

      Cells escaped from blood vessels during inflammation

    Correct Answer
    C. Cells escaped from blood vessels during inflammation
    Explanation
    Exudate refers to the fluid or cells that escape from blood vessels during inflammation. This can occur as a result of tissue damage or infection. Inflammation triggers the release of various substances that cause blood vessels to become more permeable, allowing cells and fluid to leak out into the surrounding tissues. This process helps to remove harmful substances and promote healing.

    Types of sutures

    • A.

      Absorbable

    • B.

      Non absorbable

    • C.

      Metal

    • D.

      Plastic

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Absorbable
    B. Non absorbable
    Explanation
    The correct answer is absorbable and non-absorbable because these are two types of sutures used in medical procedures. Absorbable sutures are made from materials that break down and are absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. Non-absorbable sutures, on the other hand, are made from materials that do not break down and need to be removed manually after the wound has healed.

  • 9. 

    Cryosurgical unit consists of what?

    • A.

      Tank

    • B.

      Dexon

    • C.

      Dial

    • D.

      Metal probe

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Tank
    D. Metal probe
    Explanation
    A cryosurgical unit consists of a tank and a metal probe. The tank is used to store the cryogenic liquid, such as liquid nitrogen, which is necessary for the cryosurgical procedure. The metal probe is the tool that is cooled in the cryogenic liquid and then used to freeze and destroy the targeted tissue. The combination of the tank and metal probe allows for the controlled application of extreme cold temperatures during cryosurgery.

    Signs that bandage is too tight

    • A.

      Cyanosis

    • B.

      Coldness

    • C.

      Numbness

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the above
    Explanation
    When a bandage is too tight, it can restrict blood flow to the area, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. This can cause cyanosis, which is a bluish discoloration of the skin due to inadequate oxygenation. Additionally, the restricted blood flow can cause the affected area to become cold and numb. Therefore, all of the above signs (cyanosis, coldness, numbness) can indicate that the bandage is too tight.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Staples
    B. Silk
    C. Polyester
    E. Cotton
    Explanation
    The given answer includes staples, silk, polyester, and cotton as types of non-absorbable tissue. These materials are commonly used in medical procedures where long-term support or closure of wounds is required. Staples are metal clips used to hold tissues together, while silk, polyester, and cotton are natural or synthetic fibers that are strong and do not break down or dissolve in the body. These non-absorbable materials provide long-lasting support and stability to promote proper healing and tissue regeneration.

    What does a change in color in Lochia indicate

    • A.

      Level in state of health

    • B.

      Level of healing

    • C.

      Level of pregancy

    Correct Answer
    A. Level in state of health
    Explanation
    A change in color in Lochia indicates the level in state of health. Lochia is the vaginal discharge that occurs after childbirth, and its color changes over time. Initially, it is bright red and gradually transitions to pink, then brown, and finally to a yellowish-white color. These color changes indicate the progress of healing and the state of health of the postpartum individual. Therefore, monitoring the color of Lochia is important in assessing their recovery and overall well-being.
