    Normal B/P for an Adult?

    • 160/90

    • 120/80

    Correct Answer
    A. 120/80
    Explanation
    The normal blood pressure for an adult is typically around 120/80. This means that the systolic pressure (the top number) is 120 and the diastolic pressure (the bottom number) is 80. Blood pressure is an important indicator of overall health and can be influenced by factors such as age, weight, and lifestyle habits. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is important for preventing cardiovascular diseases and maintaining overall well-being.

    WHAT SHOULD BE ON A CONTAINER THAT CONTAINS BLOOD

    • OSHA REGULATIONS

    • HIPPA REGULATIONS

    • BIOHAZARD LABEL

    Correct Answer
    A. BIOHAZARD LABEL
    Explanation
    A container that contains blood should have a biohazard label. This label is necessary to indicate that the container contains potentially hazardous materials, such as blood, which may pose a risk to individuals handling it. The biohazard label helps to ensure that proper precautions are taken to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and to protect the health and safety of those who come into contact with the container. It is required by OSHA regulations to label containers that contain blood or other potentially infectious materials. HIPAA regulations, on the other hand, pertain to the privacy and security of protected health information and are not directly relevant to labeling blood containers.

    HOW LONG CAN A TOURNIQUET REMAIN ON A PATIENTS ARM?

    • 60 MINUTES

    • 1 MINUTE

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 MINUTE
    Explanation
    A tourniquet can only remain on a patient's arm for a maximum of 1 minute. This is because leaving a tourniquet on for longer periods can cause damage to the tissues and restrict blood flow to the rest of the arm. The purpose of a tourniquet is to temporarily stop bleeding by applying pressure to the blood vessels, but it should be released as soon as possible to prevent any complications.

    Correct Answer
    A. THEY ARE LIGHT, STRONGER, AND MORE WATER RESISTANT
    Explanation
    A synthetic cast is preferred over a plastic or plaster cast because it is lighter, stronger, and more water-resistant. This means that it provides better comfort and mobility for the patient, as it is not as heavy or restrictive. Additionally, the synthetic material is more durable and less likely to break or crack compared to plastic or plaster. It is also able to withstand exposure to water, allowing the patient to shower or swim without worrying about damaging the cast. Overall, a synthetic cast offers better functionality and convenience compared to other types of casts.

    WHAT IS AN ANTICOAGULANT?

    • A DRUG THAT PROMOTES CLOTTING

    • A DRUG THAT PREVENTS CLOTTING

    • A DRUG THAT PREVENTS BRUISING

    Correct Answer
    A. A DRUG THAT PREVENTS CLOTTING
    Explanation
    An anticoagulant is a drug that prevents clotting. This means that it inhibits the formation of blood clots, which can be dangerous and lead to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or stroke. Anticoagulants work by interfering with the blood's ability to clot, either by inhibiting the production of clotting factors or by preventing the formation of fibrin, a protein involved in clot formation. By preventing clotting, anticoagulants help to reduce the risk of blood clots and their associated complications.

    Hypotension refers to lower than normal blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries as it flows through them. When the blood pressure is lower than the normal range, it can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. Hypotension can be caused by various factors including dehydration, medication side effects, and underlying medical conditions. It is important to monitor and manage hypotension to prevent complications and ensure proper blood flow to the organs.

    WHAT ARE SMALL ARTERIES CALLED?

    • ARTERIOLES

    • ARTERIALS

    Correct Answer
    A. ARTERIOLES
    Explanation
    Arterioles are small arteries that branch out from larger arteries and lead to capillaries. They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow and blood pressure by constricting or dilating. Arterioles have a smaller diameter compared to arteries, allowing them to control the amount of blood that reaches different organs and tissues. Therefore, arterioles are the correct answer for the question.

    WHAT INJECTION WOULD YOU PERFORM AT A 10-15 DEGREE ANGLE?

    • INTRASPINAL

    • INTRADERMAL

    • INTRAMUSCULAR

    Correct Answer
    A. INTRADERMAL
    Explanation
    An intradermal injection is performed at a 10-15 degree angle. This type of injection involves injecting a small amount of medication into the dermis, which is the layer of skin just below the epidermis. The angle of insertion is shallow because the medication is intended to be absorbed slowly into the bloodstream through the capillaries in the dermis. Intradermal injections are commonly used for skin testing, such as tuberculosis or allergy tests.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    WHAT INJECTION ANGLE SHOULD YOU USE TO ADMINISTER A SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION?

    • 10 DEGREE

    • 90 DEGREE

    • 45 DEGREE

    Correct Answer
    A. 45 DEGREE
    Explanation
    To administer a subcutaneous injection, a 45-degree angle should be used. This angle allows for proper delivery of medication into the fatty tissue layer just beneath the skin. A 10-degree angle would be too shallow and may result in the medication being deposited in the skin rather than the subcutaneous tissue. A 90-degree angle would be too deep and may result in the medication being injected into the muscle, which is not the intended route for a subcutaneous injection.

    WHEN TESTING FOR OCCULT BLOOD WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD YOU USE

    • STOOL SAMPLE

    • BLOOD SAMPLE

    • URINE SAMPLE

    Correct Answer
    A. STOOL SAMPLE
    Explanation
    When testing for occult blood, a stool sample would be used. Occult blood refers to the presence of blood that is not visibly apparent in the stool. Stool samples are collected and tested for the presence of blood using various methods such as fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) or fecal immunochemical tests (FIT). These tests help in the early detection of gastrointestinal bleeding, which may indicate various conditions such as colorectal cancer, ulcers, or inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, a stool sample is the appropriate choice for testing occult blood.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    What injection angle should you use for intramuscular?

    • 45

    • 10

    • 90

    Correct Answer
    A. 90
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 90. When administering medication via intramuscular injection, a 90-degree angle should be used. This angle ensures that the needle is inserted directly into the muscle, allowing for proper absorption and effectiveness of the medication. Using a different angle may result in suboptimal absorption or potential injury to the surrounding tissues.
