2. In the reaction 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2, what is the limiting reactant when 3 moles of sodium react with 2 moles of water?

• A. Na
• B. H2O
• C. NaOH
• D. H2

3. Pinpoint the smallest bone in the human body.

• A. Stapes (Middle ear bone)
• B. Patella (Kneecap)
• C. Phalanges (Finger bones)
• D. Ribs

Correct answer: A

4. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?

• A. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?
• B. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• C. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• D. The nucleus elongates and pulls apart, physically dividing the cytoplasm into two.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) This statement is a duplicate of option C and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. B) In animal cells, during cytokinesis, a cleavage furrow forms in the center of the dividing cell. This furrow deepens and eventually pinches the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This process is distinct from plant cells, where a cell plate forms. C) This statement is a duplicate of option A and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. D) This statement describes the process of nuclear division (mitosis) rather than cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.

5. Ms. Valencia prepares the process standards. Which of the following is NOT a process

• A. Initial assessment shall be done to all patients within twenty four hours upon admission.
• B. Informed consent shall be secured prior to any invasive procedure

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this question, Ms. Valencia is tasked with preparing process standards, which are systematic procedures or steps followed to ensure quality care. Options A, B, and C all refer to specific processes that are essential in healthcare: timely assessment, obtaining informed consent, and assessing patient satisfaction. However, option D about providing patient education is more focused on an outcome (patient education) rather than a specific process standard. While patient education is important, the question is asking for a process standard, making option D the correct answer as it does not directly relate to a specific process standard.

6. During embryonic development, all tissues originate from

• A. Epithelial tissue only
• B. Muscle tissue only
• C. Connective tissue only
• D. Embryonic germ layers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During embryonic development, all tissues originate from the three primary embryonic germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. These layers give rise to all the different types of tissues found in the body. The ectoderm forms the skin and nervous system, the mesoderm gives rise to muscle, bone, and connective tissues, while the endoderm develops into the lining of the digestive and respiratory systems. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it encompasses the comprehensive origin of all tissues in the body during embryonic development.
