1. What do contours refer to?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Contours refer to the shape or outline of something. They represent the boundaries or curves that define the outer edges of an object or form. Colors, sizes, and textures do not encompass the concept of contours, making them incorrect choices in this context.

2. What is the meaning of histrionics?

• A. Accomplishments
• B. Daring acts
• C. Examinations
• D. Emotional behavior

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Emotional behavior.' Histrionics refer to exaggerated or dramatic emotional behavior, often characterized by theatricality or over-the-top expressions of emotions. It is more related to dramatic and exaggerated emotional displays rather than accomplishments, daring acts, or examinations. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because histrionics specifically pertain to emotional behavior and not achievements, daring actions, or assessments.

3. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct
• B. Official Standards
• C. Personal Guidelines
• D. Suggestions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Regulations refer to rules or directives established by authorities to govern conduct or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 'Rules for Conduct.' Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.

4. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'

5. If a patient has SALLOW skin, what is true?

• A. Her skin has a yellow tint
• B. Her skin has a blue tint
• C. Her skin has a red tint
• D. Her skin has a green tint

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Sallow skin is a term used to describe skin that appears yellowish in color. This discoloration can be due to various factors, such as an underlying health condition, poor circulation, or certain medications. Observing sallow skin can be an important clinical indicator that prompts further investigation into the patient's overall health status. Choice B, blue tint, is incorrect as sallow skin is not associated with a blue color. Choice C, red tint, and Choice D, green tint, are also incorrect as sallow skin specifically refers to a yellowish complexion, not red or green.
