Explanation

Clinical anthropometry involves measuring various physical characteristics of an individual. These measurements include height, weight, waist circumference, and determining the Body-Mass Index (BMI). Height is the measurement of a person's vertical stature, weight is the measurement of the force exerted by gravity on an individual's body, waist circumference is the measurement of the distance around the waist, and BMI is a calculation that assesses an individual's body weight in relation to their height. These measurements are important in assessing an individual's overall health and can provide valuable information for diagnosing and treating various medical conditions.

Explanation

Clinical Anthropometry includes measuring height, weight, waist circumference, and determining the body-mass index. This process involves collecting precise measurements of various body parameters to assess an individual's physical characteristics and overall health. These measurements can provide valuable information about body composition, nutritional status, and potential health risks. Clinical Anthropometry is commonly used in medical settings to monitor growth and development, evaluate nutritional interventions, and assess the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular disorders.

5. Body Temperature

Explanation

The correct answer is "Most practitioners take the temperature orally." This is because taking the temperature orally is a common method used by healthcare professionals to measure body temperature. The other options are incorrect because they provide information about the range of healthy normal temperatures and how body temperature fluctuates in women, which are not directly related to the method of taking the temperature.

6. Causes of elevated body temperature.

Explanation

The given answer includes various causes of elevated body temperature. These include infectious processes, such as infections caused by bacteria or viruses. Inflammatory processes, such as those occurring after surgery, injury, or due to immune disorders and diseases, can also lead to an elevated body temperature. Malignancy, or the presence of cancer cells in the body, can cause an increase in body temperature. Blood disorders, specifically acute hemolytic anemia, can also result in a higher body temperature. The body's response to certain drugs can also cause an elevation in body temperature. Lastly, hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormone, can lead to a higher body temperature.
