Questions With Complete Solutions
Which group has the highest rate of meningococcal infection?
0 Infants
0 Toddlers
0 Older adults
Young adults
Young adults
Those between the ages of 16 and 21 years, many ofwhom are
young adults, are most at risk for meningococcal infection and
are the main target group for vaccination. Infants and toddlers
can contract meningococcal infection, but it is not as prevalent
in these groups as in the young adult population. Older adults do
not have a higher prevalence of meningococcal infection than
young adults; however, individuals in this group who are
immunocom promised may benefit from receiving the
vaccination or boosters. Test-Taking Tip: Avoid looking for an
answer pattern or code. There may be times when four or five
consecutive questions have the same letter or number for the
correct answer.
Punctal occlusion is performed after the administration of
eyedrops to prevent which from occurring?
0 Tearing
0 Infection
,0 Allergic reaction
0 Systemic absorption
Systemic absorption
Punctal occlusion prevents systemic absorption of the
medication. For example, systemic absorption of beta—
blockade used to treat glaucoma can affect heart rate and blood
pressure. Punctal occlusion does not prevent tearing, infection,
or allergic reaction.
Which test is used to diagnose diseases of the vestibular system?
Q Rinne test
0 Caloric reflex test
0 Pure—tone audiometry
O Auditory brainstem response
Caloric reflex test
The caloric reflex test is a test of the vestibulo—ocular reflex
that involves irrigating cold or warm water into the external
auditory canal. It is used to check for nystagmus, nausea and
vomiting, falling, or vertigo, conditions associated with diseases
of the vestibular system. The Rinne test is a tuning fork test that
aids in differentiating between conductive and sensorineural
hearing loss. Pure-tone audiometry determines the client's
, hearing range in terms of decibels (dB) and Hertz (Hz). This test
is used to diagnose conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
An auditory brainstem response test provides diagnostic
information related to acoustic neuromas, brainstem problems,
and strokes.
Which part of the brain is primarily associated with life support
and basic functions of the body?
O Cerebrum
Q Brainstem
O Cerebellum
Q Cerebral cortex
Brainstem
The brainstem, which connects the brain to the central nervous
system, is concerned primarily with life support and basic
functions, such as breathing and movement. The cerebrum
controls intelligence, creativity, and memory. The cerebellum is
concerned with coordination of movement. The cerebral cortex
is part of the cerebrum, which is involved with almost all of the
higher functions of the brain.
Which lobe of the cerebrum includes the Broca speech center?
Q Frontal lobe
Q Parietal lobe
Q Occipital lobe
Q Temporal lobe
Frontal lobe
