Multiple choice
1. Which surface of the body is visualized by the clinician when performing an extraoral examination of
The patient’s eyes?
a. Anterior
b. Posterior
c. Superior
d. Lateral Correct
Answer: a
Feedback
A The patient’s eyes are visualized on the anterior surface of the patient’s body.
B The patient’s eyes would not be easily visualized on the posterior of the patient’s body.
C The patient’s eyes would not be easily visualized on the superior surface of the patient’s body.
D The patient’s eyes would not be easily visualized on the lateral surface of the patient’s body.
Dif: comprehension ref: p. 3 obj: 2 top: cda: general chairside, i. B. Preliminary
physical examination
Msc: nbdhe, scientific basis for dental hygiene practice, 1.1.1 head and neck anatomy
2. Which of the following is correct concerning the sagittal plane of the body?
a. Parallel to the median plane
b. Parallel to the frontal plane
c. Parallel to the horizontal plane
d. Parallel to the coronal plane
Correct Answer: a
Feedback
A A sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
B A sagittal plane is not parallel to the frontal plane but perpendicular.

, C A horizontal plane is perpendicular to the median plane. A sagittal plane is parallel to the median
plane. Thus a horizontal plane is perpendicular to a sagittal plane.
D A sagittal plane is not parallel to the coronal plane but perpendicular.
Dif: recall ref: p. 3 obj: 1
Top: cda: general chairside, i. A. Demonstrate understanding of basic oral and dental anatomy,
physiology, and development
Msc: nbdhe, scientific basis for dental hygiene practice, 1.1 anatomy
3. When a patient is in anatomic position, what is the surface of the palms of the hand considered?
a. Anterior
b. Lateral
c. Medial
d. Posterior
Correct Answer: a
Feedback
A The palms of the hands in anatomic position are facing toward the front and are anterior (or
ventral).
B The palms of the hands in anatomic position are not facing lateral or away
from the median plane but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral).
C The palms of the hands in anatomic position are not facing medial or toward
the median plane but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral).
D The palms of the hands in anatomic position are not facing toward the posterior
or back of the body but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral). Dif:
