-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Tetanus is caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani, not a virus. The bacteria is commonly found in soil, dust, and animal feces. While animals can carry the bacteria on their bodies, it is not specifically carried on their faces. Therefore, the statement that the Tetanus virus is carried on animal's faces is incorrect.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. ThighExplanation
The correct answer is thigh because the epipen is typically injected into the outer portion of the thigh. This area is chosen because it has a large muscle mass and is easily accessible, allowing for quick absorption of the medication into the bloodstream. Injecting the epipen into the thigh ensures that the medication reaches the system rapidly, which is crucial in cases of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.Rate this question:

If bitten by a rabid animal you should call animal control not 911
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Calling animal control instead of 911 when bitten by a rabid animal is not the correct action to take. When facing a medical emergency, it is crucial to call for immediate medical assistance, which is provided by 911. Rabies is a serious and potentially fatal disease, and prompt medical attention is necessary to receive appropriate treatment and prevent the virus from spreading. Animal control may be contacted afterward to address the issue of the rabid animal, but the priority should always be to seek immediate medical help by calling 911.Rate this question:
