During percussion, the downward snap of the striking fingers should originate from
the
a. shoulder.
b. forearm.
c. wrist.
d. interphalangeal joint.

ANS: C
, The downward snap of the striking fingers should originate from the wrist.
When percussing a spleen, Traube space is a
a. semilunar region.
b. splenic percussion sign.
c. left-sided pleural effusion.
d. solid mass.
Give this one a try later!
ANS: A
Percussion of the spleen is more difficult because percussion tones elicited
may be caused by other conditions. Traube space is a semilunar region
defined by the sixth ribs superiorly, the midaxillary line laterally, and the left
costal margin inferiorly.
Which is the technique most often used for evaluating the neurologic system?
a. Auscultation
b. Inspection
c. Palpation
d. Percussion
Give this one a try later!
ANS: B The evaluation tool of inspection is used most often. Inspection of
gait and response to questions can provide data concerning neurologic
system function.
,The thalamus is the major integration center for the perception of
a. speech.
b. olfaction.
c. pain.
d. thoughts.
Give this one a try later!
ANS: C
The thalamus is the major integrating center for the perception of various
sensations such as pain and temperature, serving as the relay center
between the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The reception of speech and
interpretation of speech are located in the Wernicke area. The olfactory
sense is processed in the parietal lobe. The cerebrum holds memories,
allows you to plan, and enables you to imagine and think.
Which area of the brain maintains temperature control?
a. Epithalamus
b. Thalamus
c. Abducens
d. Hypothalamus

, d. Hypothalamus
ANS: D The hypothalamus is the major processing center of internal stimuli
for the autonomic nervous system. It maintains temperature control, water
metabolism, body fluid osmolarity, feeding behavior, and neuroendocrine
activity. The epithalamus houses the pineal body and is responsible for
sexual development and behavior. The thalamus conveys all sensory
impulses, except olfaction, to and from the cerebrum before their
distribution to appropriate associative sensory areas. The abducens is the
sixth cranial nerve with motor function responsible for lateral eye
movement.
Infants born weighing less than 1500 g are at higher risk for
a. hepatitis A.
b. necrotizing enterocolitis.
c. urinary urgency.
d. pancreatitis.

ANS: B
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a gastrointestinal disease that mostly affects
premature infants. It involves infection and inflammation that cause
destruction of the bowel, and it becomes more apparent after feedings.
An aspect of traditional Western medicine that may be troublesome to many
Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, and Middle Eastern groups is
a. Western medicine's attempts to use a holistic approach that views a particular
medical problem as part of a bigger
picture.
b. determine a specific cause for every problem in a precise way.
