Lymphatic drainage is benefited from .
- Manicures
- Pedicures
- Massage
Correct Answer

A. Massage

Explanation

Massage is beneficial for lymphatic drainage because it helps to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The rhythmic movements and pressure applied during a massage can help to improve circulation and promote the removal of waste products and toxins from the lymphatic system. This can help to reduce swelling, boost the immune system, and improve overall lymphatic function.

Most of the conditions called neuritis do not involve inflammation and are better classified as .
- Mono-neuritis
- Neuralgia
- Polyneuritis
Correct Answer

A. Neuralgia

Explanation

Neuritis refers to the inflammation of a nerve. However, most conditions called neuritis do not actually involve inflammation and are better classified as neuralgia. Neuralgia refers to the intense, sharp, and often debilitating pain that occurs along the course of a nerve. Therefore, neuralgia is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the fact that most conditions called neuritis do not involve inflammation.

Varicose veins are an abnormal swelling of veins, usually in the legs.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Varicose veins are indeed an abnormal swelling of veins, typically occurring in the legs. This condition is characterized by enlarged, twisted, and bulging veins that are often blue or purple in color. Varicose veins can cause discomfort, pain, and aching in the affected area, and they are commonly caused by weakened valves in the veins that allow blood to flow backward and pool. Treatment options for varicose veins include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, and in severe cases, surgical interventions.

Rate this question:
6.

The weakness of the valves which leads to varicose veins is most commonly caused by .
- Hereditary problems
- Working too hard
- Prolonged standing
Correct Answer

A. Prolonged standing

Explanation

Prolonged standing can weaken the valves in the veins, leading to varicose veins. When a person stands for long periods of time, the blood in the veins has to work against gravity to flow back up to the heart. This increased pressure can cause the valves to become weak or damaged, resulting in the pooling of blood and the formation of varicose veins.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Talcum powders are not commonly used in manicures because they are messy and difficult to control during application. They are also not typically chosen for their nutritive and skin conditioning properties.
