    Explanation
    SOAP stands for Subjective Objective Assessment Plan. This term is commonly used in the medical field to organize and document patient information in a systematic manner. The subjective section includes information provided by the patient, such as symptoms and medical history. The objective section includes measurable data, such as vital signs and laboratory results. The assessment section includes the healthcare provider's diagnosis and evaluation of the patient's condition. Finally, the plan section outlines the recommended treatment and follow-up care.

    What does a Snellen Chart test?

      Near sight

    • B.

      Color blindness

    • C.

      Far sight

    • D.

      See shapes

    Correct Answer
    C. Far sight
    Explanation
    A Snellen Chart is used to test far sight or distance vision. It measures a person's ability to see objects clearly at a distance. The chart consists of letters or symbols of different sizes that decrease in size as you move down the chart. By reading the letters or identifying the symbols from a specific distance, the test determines the sharpness of a person's vision. This helps in diagnosing any refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.

    What type of data does patient tell you?

    • A.

      Subjective

    • B.

      Objective

    • C.

      Situational

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Subjective
    Explanation
    The correct answer is subjective because subjective data refers to the information provided by the patient based on their personal experiences, feelings, and perceptions. This type of data is influenced by individual opinions and cannot be measured objectively. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to consider subjective data when assessing a patient's condition and making treatment decisions.

      Open ended

    • B.

      Unconditional

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Open ended
    Explanation
    Open ended questions are designed to allow the patient to provide a detailed and unrestricted response. These questions encourage the patient to elaborate on their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, providing valuable information to the healthcare provider. Open ended questions typically begin with words like "how," "what," or "tell me about," and they promote active listening and a deeper understanding of the patient's perspective. This type of questioning can help foster a more meaningful and collaborative conversation between the patient and healthcare provider.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Palpation
    C. Inspection
    E. Percussion
    Explanation
    Palpation, inspection, and percussion are all methods used during a physical exam. Palpation involves using the hands to feel for abnormalities or changes in the body, such as checking for swollen lymph nodes or feeling for tenderness. Inspection involves visually examining the body for any visible signs or symptoms, such as rashes or discoloration. Percussion involves tapping on the body to assess the underlying structures, such as tapping on the chest to evaluate lung sounds. These methods are important in gathering information about a patient's health and assisting in making a diagnosis.

    Glaucoma is

    • A.

      A temporary blindness disease

    • B.

      Color blindness

    • C.

      Increased pressure in the eye

    • D.

      Involentary movement off the eyes

    Correct Answer
    C. Increased pressure in the eye
    Explanation
    Glaucoma is a condition characterized by increased pressure in the eye. This increased pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated. It is not a temporary blindness disease or color blindness, nor does it cause involuntary movement of the eyes. Therefore, the correct answer is increased pressure in the eye.

      Chest pain

    • B.

    • D.

      Rapid pulse

    Correct Answer
    D. Rapid pulse
    Explanation
    A rapid pulse can be a sign of various conditions, such as anxiety, dehydration, or an underlying heart problem. When the heart beats faster than normal, it may indicate that the body is trying to compensate for something, like a decrease in blood volume or oxygen levels. It can also be a response to physical exertion or stress. Therefore, a rapid pulse can be considered a sign or symptom of an underlying issue or physiological response.

      Symptom

    • B.

      Pain

      Sign

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Symptom
    Explanation
    A bodily discomfort that a person feels is called a symptom. Symptoms are subjective experiences reported by individuals and can include a wide range of sensations such as pain, fatigue, dizziness, or nausea. They are often used as indicators of an underlying medical condition or disease. Unlike signs, which are objective and can be observed or measured by others, symptoms are specific to the individual experiencing them. Therefore, in this context, the correct answer is "Symptom".

    The term for nearsightedness is:

    • A.

      Myopia

    • B.

      Strabimus

    • C.

      Hyperopia

    • D.

      Cataract

    Correct Answer
    A. Myopia
    Explanation
    Myopia refers to nearsightedness, a condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but has difficulty seeing objects that are far away. This condition occurs when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or when the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurred distance vision. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are misaligned, Hyperopia refers to farsightedness, and Cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens.

    Amblyopia is

    • A.

      Cross eyedness

    • B.

      Farsightedness

    • C.

      Eye turning yellow

    • D.

      Lazy eye

    Correct Answer
    D. Lazy eye
    Explanation
    Amblyopia is a condition commonly known as "lazy eye." It is characterized by reduced vision in one eye, which is not caused by any structural problem in the eye itself but rather by the brain not fully recognizing the visual input from that eye. This can happen due to various reasons, such as a significant difference in prescription between the two eyes or a misalignment of the eyes. Amblyopia can be treated if detected early, usually through the use of corrective lenses, eye patches, or vision therapy.

    Capillary refill is tested on:

    • A.

      Fingers

    • B.

      Stomach

    • C.

      Legs

    • D.

      arm

    Correct Answer
    A. Fingers
    Explanation
    Capillary refill is tested on fingers because the capillaries in the fingertips are easily accessible and provide a good indication of peripheral perfusion. By applying pressure to the fingertip and then releasing it, the time it takes for the color to return to the area can be observed. This test helps assess circulation and can indicate any potential issues with blood flow or oxygenation.

      Opthalmoscope

    • B.

      Otoscope

    • C.

      Angiometer

    • D.

      EKG

    Correct Answer
    B. Otoscope
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Otoscope. An otoscope is a medical instrument used to examine the ears. It consists of a light source and a magnifying lens, allowing healthcare professionals to look inside the ear canal and check for any abnormalities or infections. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as ear infections, earwax buildup, or perforated eardrums. The other options listed, such as an ophthalmoscope, angiometer, or EKG, are not used for examining the ears but for different medical purposes.

    Correct Answer
    D. Sitting up 90 Degrees
    Explanation
    Fowler's position refers to a semi-sitting position where the patient's upper body is elevated at an angle of 90 degrees. This position is commonly used in medical settings to promote lung expansion and improve breathing. It is also beneficial for patients with certain medical conditions such as respiratory distress, heart failure, or to prevent aspiration. Sitting up 90 degrees allows for better comfort, facilitates eating and drinking, and aids in preventing complications like pneumonia or pressure ulcers.

    A. Lithotomy
    Explanation
    Lithotomy is the correct answer because it refers to the position of laying flat on the back with feet up on stirrups. This position is commonly used in medical procedures such as gynecological exams or surgeries. The other options, Spectrosomy, Phinology, and Eulogy, do not relate to the described position or have any medical relevance.
