Objectives should be based on patient needs, evidence-based practice, and professional standards rather than personal preferences of the staff. Prescribed standards ensure quality care and adherence to best practices. A holistic approach considers the whole patient, including physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Staff preferences may introduce bias and should not dictate patient care objectives.

4. Which term describes the ability of a muscle to return to its original length and shape after being stretched or contracted?

• A. Contractility
• B. Elasticity
• C. Extensibility
• D. Excitability

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Elasticity." Elasticity is the term that describes the ability of a muscle to return to its original length and shape after being stretched or contracted. Contractility refers to the muscle's ability to contract forcefully, extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched without being damaged, and excitability is the ability of a muscle to respond to stimuli. In this context, elasticity specifically pertains to the muscle's ability to bounce back to its original form, making it the most appropriate term in relation to the question.

6. You test a new fertilizer on two groups of plants, one with fertilizer and one without. Both groups grow at the same rate. What is the most likely explanation?

• A. The fertilizer has no effect on plant growth.
• B. The control group accidentally received some fertilizer too.
• C. Both groups received other nutrients from the soil, negating the fertilizer's effect.
• D. The test period was too short to observe any difference.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A true control group should be identical to the test group except for the variable being tested. If both groups grew the same despite the fertilizer, it suggests external factors like soil nutrients masked any potential fertilizer effect.
