      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Correct body mechanics refers to the proper use of muscles and joints when performing tasks such as lifting, transferring, and positioning patients. By using correct body mechanics, the healthcare worker can minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injuries such as strains, sprains, and back pain. Additionally, it helps prevent injuries to the patient by ensuring their safety during movement and reducing the likelihood of accidents or falls.

    Back muscles should be used for heavy lifting because they are strong muscles. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that back muscles should be used for heavy lifting because they are strong muscles. However, this is not entirely true. While back muscles do play a role in lifting heavy objects, relying solely on them can lead to strain and injury. It is important to engage multiple muscle groups, including the legs and core, to distribute the load and maintain proper form while lifting heavy objects.

  • 3. 

    Whenever possible, push or pull rather than lift. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that it is preferable to push or pull objects instead of lifting them whenever possible. This is because pushing or pulling can distribute the force more evenly and reduce the risk of strain or injury to the body. Lifting heavy objects can put excessive pressure on certain muscles and joints, increasing the likelihood of accidents or physical harm. Therefore, it is advisable to choose pushing or pulling over lifting, whenever feasible.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a federal agency responsible for protecting public health and safety in the United States. While the CDC plays a crucial role in monitoring and preventing the spread of diseases, it is not responsible for establishing safety standards for occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals. This responsibility falls under the jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces regulations to ensure workplace safety. Therefore, the statement that the CDC established safety standards for occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard is a set of guidelines and regulations that aim to protect health care providers from contracting diseases through exposure to body fluids. These fluids can contain pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. By implementing safety measures, such as using personal protective equipment and practicing proper hygiene, health care providers can minimize the risk of infection. Therefore, it is true that the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard helps protect health care providers from diseases caused by exposure to body fluids.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the United States that primarily provides coverage for individuals who are 65 years or older. It also covers individuals with certain disabilities, end-stage renal disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, Medicare is not specifically designed for individuals with low incomes or those who are physically disabled or blind. Instead, Medicaid is the program that provides healthcare for individuals with low incomes and certain disabilities. Therefore, the statement provided in the question is false.

    Rate this question:

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted to protect the privacy and security of individuals' health information. It ensures that individuals have the right to access their own medical records and control how their information is used and disclosed. HIPAA also sets standards for the electronic exchange of health information, making it easier for consumers to switch health insurance plans without losing coverage. Overall, HIPAA aims to improve the accessibility and confidentiality of health insurance and medical records for consumers.

  • 10. 

    Health insurance plans solve health care problems by paying for the total cost of health care. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Health insurance plans do not solve health care problems by paying for the total cost of health care. While health insurance can help cover a portion of the cost, it does not typically cover the entire cost. Additionally, health insurance plans may have deductibles, co-pays, and limitations on coverage, which means that individuals may still be responsible for a portion of their health care expenses. Health insurance is designed to provide financial protection and assistance with medical expenses, but it does not completely solve the problems associated with the cost and accessibility of health care.

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because National Health Care Skill Standards do not only apply to nursing careers.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the field of healthcare, it is generally necessary to complete an accredited program before obtaining certification, registration, or licensure. This ensures that individuals have received the necessary education and training to practice safely and effectively in their chosen healthcare career. Without graduation from an accredited program, it is unlikely that these credentials will be granted.

      Optician

    • D.

      Orthodontists

    Correct Answer
    B. Optometrist
    Explanation
    An optometrist is a healthcare professional who specializes in examining the eyes for vision problems. They are not medical doctors (MDs) but are trained to diagnose and treat common eye conditions, prescribe corrective lenses, and refer patients to ophthalmologists for more complex eye issues. Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who specialize in eye care and can perform surgery and treat a wider range of eye diseases and conditions. Opticians, on the other hand, are not healthcare professionals but are trained to fit and dispense eyeglasses and contact lenses based on prescriptions provided by optometrists or ophthalmologists. Orthodontists, on the other hand, specialize in the alignment of teeth and jaws and are not directly related to eye care.
