Questions and Answers

1.

Insert the needle heavely and withdraw the needle gently
- A.
  
  Reinforcing
- B.
  
  Reducing
Correct Answer
A. Reinforcing

Explanation
The correct answer is reinforcing. This means that the action of inserting the needle heavily and then withdrawing it gently is intended to strengthen or enhance the effect or impact of the needle. By inserting it heavily, it may penetrate deeper or have a stronger effect, and by withdrawing it gently, it minimizes any potential damage or discomfort. This technique is often used in certain medical procedures or acupuncture to maximize the desired outcome.

Insert the needle when patient breathe in and withdraw the needle when patient breaths out
- A.
  
  Reducing
- B.
  
  Reinforcing
Correct Answer
A. Reducing

Explanation
The correct answer is reducing because inserting the needle when the patient breathes in and withdrawing it when the patient breathes out helps to reduce the risk of injury or discomfort. When the patient breathes in, their chest expands, providing more space for the needle to be inserted without hitting any vital organs. On the other hand, when the patient breathes out, their chest contracts, which can cause discomfort or pain if the needle is still inserted. Therefore, following this technique helps to minimize the potential harm or discomfort for the patient.

- A.
  
  Reducing
- B.
  
  Reinforcing
Correct Answer
A. Reducing

Explanation
Inserting the needle against the flow of the meridian is a technique used in acupuncture to reduce the energy flow in the meridian. By inserting the needle in this direction, it is believed that it helps to decrease the excessive energy or blockages in the meridian, thus reducing the symptoms or imbalances in the body. This technique is often used when there is an excess of energy or when there is a need to decrease the energy flow in a specific meridian or area of the body.
