Not all medical words have suffix
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false. Medical words often have suffixes, which are word parts added to the end of a root word to modify its meaning. Suffixes in medical terminology can indicate a condition, procedure, or body part. For example, the word "cardiologist" has the suffix "-ologist" which means a specialist or expert. Similarly, the word "dermatitis" has the suffix "-itis" which means inflammation. Suffixes are commonly used in medical terminology to provide additional information and context. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that not all medical words have suffixes.Rate this question:

Two are correct
- B.

- A.
What is the problem?
- B.

- C.

- D.
Have you ever been to a doctor?
Correct Answer
C. What have you eaten in the past 24 hours?Explanation
The question "What have you eaten in the past 24 hours?" is the wrong way to ask a patient a basic question because it assumes that the patient has eaten something in the past 24 hours. This question may not be appropriate for patients who have been fasting or have dietary restrictions. It is better to ask an open-ended question such as "Can you tell me about your dietary habits?" to gather more comprehensive information.Rate this question:

Two are correct
- B.

Correct Answer
A. Two are correctExplanation
The question asks for a polite family question, and the correct answer states that two options are correct. Without explicitly stating which options are correct, we can infer that options 1 and 3 are the polite family questions. This is because asking about someone's father passing away or inquiring about a family history with cancer can be sensitive topics and may not be considered polite in a family setting. On the other hand, asking about what is wrong with someone's mom's health can be seen as a genuine concern and a polite question to ask in a family context.Rate this question:
