MBLEX Practice Exam Questions With
Correct Answers
The tibialis anterior and fibularis (peroneus) longus support the:
| | | | | | | |
a. Frontal arch
| |
b. Longitudinal arch
| |
c. Transverse arch
| |
d. Sagittal arch - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-c. Transverse arch
| | | | | | |
Rationale: The transverse arch is a side-to side concavity on the
| | | | | | | | | | |
underside of the foot. The support of the anatomical
| | | | | | | |
stirrup (fibularis (peroneus) longus and tibialis anterior) helps prevent
| | | | | | | | |
the collapse of the transverse arch.
| | | | |
Which of the following cell types are needed for normal blood clotting?
| | | | | | | | | | |
a. Neutrophils
|
b. Platelets
|
c. Eosinophils
|
d. Basophils - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-b. Platelets
| | | | |
Rationale: Platelets are needed for normal blood clotting, they initiate
| | | | | | | | | |
clotting cascade by clinging to broken areas and
| | | | | | |
,help to control blood loss from broken blood vessels. They occur
| | | | | | | | | | |
250,000-500,000 per mm3 in blood. Anatomy; Irregularly | | | | | |
shaped cell fragments, stain deep purple. Neutrophils, eosinophils and
| | | | | | | | |
basophils are granulocyte leukocyte WBCs.
| | | |
The attachment site for the wrist and hand flexors is located on what
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
side of the olecranon process?
| | | |
a. Proximal
|
b. Distal
|
c. Medial
|
d. Lateral - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-. Medial
| | | | |
Rationale: The medial epicondyle is the attachment site for the wrist
| | | | | | | | | | |
and hand flexor tendons.
| | |
When the client is filling out the health history intake forms it is
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
essential to get: | |
a. Date of birth
| | |
b. A list of all medications
| | | | |
c. Work history
| |
d. Insurance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-b. A list of all medications
| | | | | | | | |
Rationale: You want to pay attention to the medications and conditions
| | | | | | | | | | |
of each client to ensure there will not be harmful
| | | | | | | | |
,side effects. Friction with anti-inflammatories being contraindicated as
| | | | | | | |
an example.

Question 5: The spinal brachial plexus branch serving all the arm flexor
| | | | | | | | | | | |
muscles is what nerve? | | |
a. Median nerve
| |
b. Ulnar nerve
| |
c. Musculocutaneous nerve
| |
d. Radial nerve - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-c. Musculocutaneous nerve
| | | | | | |
Rationale: Brachial plexus (C5-T1)- Musculocutaneous nerve serves all
| | | | | | | |
the flexors of the arm. Damage to the
| | | | | | |
musculocutaneous nerve will result in a decreased ability to flex the arm | | | | | | | | | | |
muscles.
|
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a central nervous system condition defined as a(n):
| | | | | | | | | | |
a. Progressively diminishing basal ganglia function
| | | | |
b. Motor function disorder resulting from damage to the immature
| | | | | | | | | |
brain
c. An injury to the vertebral column, spinal cord, or both due to a direct
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
or indirect trauma
| |
d. A condition where demyelination of the nerves occurs - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-b. Motor function disorder resulting from damage to the| | | | | | | | |
immature brain |
, Rationale: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor function disorder resulting
| | | | | | | | | |
from damage to the immature brain. Multiple
| | | | | |
sclerosis (MS) is a condition where demyelination of the nerves occurs.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Parkinson's is a Progressively diminishing basal | | | | |
ganglia function resulting in slow, increasingly difficult movement,
| | | | | | | |
accompanied by resting tremors and muscular rigidity. | | | | | |
All conditions are CNS
| | |
Question 7: Frozen shoulder and calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff
| | | | | | | | | | |
are shoulder joint disorders caused by the tightening
| | | | | | |
of the joint capsule. It is also known as:
| | | | | | | |
a. Shoulder-hand syndrome
| |
b. Torticalis
|
c. Adhesive capsulitis
| |
d. Thoracic Outlet syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-c. Adhesive
| | | | | | | |
capsulitis
Rationale: Adhesive capsulitis is also known as: frozen shoulder, calcific
| | | | | | | | | |
tendonitis of the rotator cuff, scapulocostal | | | | |

| | | |
syndrome, subacromial fibrosis, pericapsulitis, or acromioclavicular
| | | | | |
arthritis. These musculoskeletal conditions are defined
| | | | |
as a disorder of the shoulder joint that is caused by the tightening of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
joint capsule.
