CHILDREN'S HEALTH OA FINAL
TEST 2026 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Learning disability (LD).
Answer: a neurological disorder that affects a child's ability to receive,
process, store, and respond to information. Not a single disease but rather a
group of disorders. Do not include mental retardation, autism, behavioral
disorders, or laziness
◍ Nicotine.
Answer: The primary drug in tobacco. Stimulant. Causes elevation of blood
pressure, faster heart rate, constriction of blood vessels, and lower skin
temperature.
◍ Monounsaturated fatty acid.
Answer: Only one pair of hydrogen atoms missing. Olive and canola oils
◍ Toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
Answer: potentially life threatening bacterial infection that is most common
in menstruating women who use tampons.
◍ General Adaptation Syndrome.
Answer: three-stage process; automatic response by the body when an
individual perceives a stressor.Alarm phase- the brain interprets an event or
situation as a stressor and immediately prepares the body to deal with it.
Sometimes this initial response is called the fight-or-flight syndrome
because the body literally reacts as if it is either going to stand and fight or
run away. The emotional response causes physical reactions such as muscle
, tenseness, increased heart rate, dry mouth, or sweaty palms.Resistance- the
perceived stressor is dealt with through increased strength and sensory
capacity. Only after meeting the demands of the stressful event can the body
return to normal.Exhaustion- the body must restore itself and rest or serious
health problems are potentially possible. Adverse effects of mismanaged or
long-term stress include heart problems, stomach problems, high blood
pressure, and/or achy muscles and joints.
◍ Hypnotics.
Answer: promote sleep
◍ Social Death.
Answer: A seemingly irreversible situation in which a person is not treated
like an active member of society.
◍ Pubic lice (crabs).
Answer: Parasites that can inhabit various body areas, especially the genitals
◍ Freebasing.
Answer: A process used for purifying or refining cocaine. Produces a more
potent form of cocaine that has an accelerated and intense high. The drug is
heated to a high temperature and mixed with other substances, some highly
volatile, resulting in explosion on occasion
◍ Unsaturated fat.
Answer: has a double bond between two of the carbons and thus lack a pair
of the hydrogen atoms. Mostly found in foods of plant origin, including
vegetable oils (corn, olive, soybean, peanut, and safflower oils) and some
seafoods.
◍ Bronchitis.
Answer: An inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes.
◍ Mutant cells.
Answer: Cells that differ in form, quality, or function from normal cells
◍ Basal metabolism.
, Answer: the minimum amount of energy required by the body to maintain
essential body functions (e.g., to maintain a normal body temperature,
muscle tone, respiration) when at rest
◍ Alzheimer's disease.
Answer: a progressive and irreversible disease involving the death of nerve
cells and deposition of plaques of amyloid (a protein) in the brain
◍ Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Answer: one of the most common psychiatric disorders that appear in
childhood. Children who have the disorder cannot stay focused on a task or
activity, demonstrate impulsive behavior, and experience difficulty with
finishing a task. Indicated by three pattern behaviors: may be consistently
inattentive, may be hyperactive, and may be impulsive. Three recognized
subtypes; Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type: does not show
significant inattention; Predominantly inattentive type: does not show
significant hyperactive and impulsive behaviors; and Combined type:
displays inattentive and hyperactive and/or impulsive symptoms
◍ Malignant.
Answer: Very dangerous or harmful; refers to a cancerous tumor.
◍ Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Answer: A common occupational injury in which the median nerve in the
wrist becomes irritated, thus causing numbness, tingling, and pain in the
fingers and hands.
◍ Chronic mood disorder.
Answer: Experience of persistent sadness, despair, and hopelessness.
◍ Vitamins.
Answer: organic compounds required by every part of the body to maintain
health and prevent disease. Classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble.
Do not become part of the body. Only small amounts are needed, but must
be provided by the diet because the body is not able to synthesize them in
the required quantities for proper nourishment and body function. Foster
, growth, promote the ability to produce healthy offspring, maintain health,
aid in the normal function of the digestive tract and appetite, and help
maintain immune system functions.
◍ Sickle cell disease.
Answer: Genetic disease commonly found among African Americans;
results in organ damage and premature death.
◍ Cholesterol.
Answer: used to build cell membranes and brain and other nervous tissue.
Among other functions, helps the body produce steroid hormones needed for
the regulation of blood sugar, salt and water balance, production of bile
acids needed for digestion, and reproduction.
◍ Glaucoma.
Answer: Elevation of pressure within the eyeball, which leads to hardening
of the eyeball, impaired vision, and possible blindness.
◍ Vaginitis.
Answer: Set of symptoms characterized by vaginal itching, swelling, and
burning.
◍ Incubation period.
Answer: The time between exposure to a disease and the appearance of
symptoms.
◍ Epidurals. What are priority assessments? What can they lead to in the
mother?.
Answer: Priority assessments:Before/ongoing:Maternal BP & HR: watch for
hypotension.Fetal heart rate (FHR).Level of block: dermatomes, motor
strength, ability to move legs.Bladder status: urinary retention.Respiratory
status & LOC if high block suspected.What can they lead to in the
mother?Maternal hypotension → fetal distress.Urinary retention.Prolonged
second stage (↓ urge to push).Pruritus, nausea.Spinal headache (if dural
puncture).Rare: respiratory depression, high spinal, infection, hematoma.
◍ Mainstream smoke.
