Which of the following is the foundation on which a body rests?
A. 
Center of gravity
B. 
Base of support
C. 
Orthostatic hypotension
D. 
Biomechanics
Correct Answer B. Base of support
Explanation The foundation on which a body rests is the base of support. This refers to the area beneath an object or person that is in contact with the supporting surface. The larger the base of support, the more stable the body or object will be. It is an important concept in biomechanics, which studies the forces and movements of the body. The center of gravity is the point at which the body's mass is evenly distributed, and while it is related to stability, it is not the foundation on which the body rests. Orthostatic hypotension refers to a drop in blood pressure when standing up, and is unrelated to the foundation of the body.

What term is used to describe the drop in blood pressure some patients experience when they stand up to quickly?
A. 
Center of gravity
B. 
Base of support
C. 
Orthostatic hypotension
D. 
A & b
Correct Answer C. Orthostatic hypotension
Explanation Orthostatic hypotension is the correct answer because it refers to the drop in blood pressure that some patients experience when they stand up too quickly. This condition is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. The other options, center of gravity and base of support, are not relevant to the question and do not describe the drop in blood pressure upon standing up.

Where is the human center of gravity located?
A. 
At the center of the diaphragm
B. 
Within 1 to 2 inches of the umbilicus
C. 
Midway between the hip joints
D. 
At approximately sacral level two
Correct Answer D. At approximately sacral level two
Explanation The human center of gravity is located at approximately sacral level two. This means that the center of gravity is located towards the lower back, specifically around the second sacral vertebra. This is an important point to consider for maintaining balance and stability, as it helps determine the body's overall equilibrium.

Which of the following transfers can be used to move a patient from a wheelchair to an examination table?
A. 
Pivot
B. 
Assisted standing
C. 
Standby assist
D. 
All of the above
Correct Answer D. All of the above
Explanation All three transfers mentioned - pivot, assisted standing, and standby assist - can be used to move a patient from a wheelchair to an examination table. A pivot transfer involves the patient pivoting their body to move from one surface to another. Assisted standing transfer requires the patient to stand with assistance and then move to the examination table. Standby assist transfer involves the patient having someone nearby to provide support and assistance while moving from the wheelchair to the examination table. Therefore, all of the above transfers can be used for this purpose.
