    A CT Scan can be used to detect colorectal cancer

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A CT scan, also known as a computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging procedure that uses multiple X-ray images to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It can be used to detect colorectal cancer by providing a clear view of the colon and rectum, allowing doctors to identify any abnormalities or tumors. This imaging technique is often used alongside other diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of colorectal cancer and determine its stage and extent. Therefore, the statement "A CT Scan can be used to detect colorectal cancer" is true.

    What does an MRI scan use?

    • Radiation

    • Magnetism

    • Sound

    Correct Answer
    A. Magnetism
    Explanation
    An MRI scan uses magnetism to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. During the scan, the patient is placed inside a large magnet, which causes the hydrogen atoms in the body to align in a certain way. Radio waves are then used to disrupt this alignment, and as the atoms return to their original position, they emit signals that are detected by the MRI machine. These signals are then processed to generate the images. Unlike other imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI scans do not use radiation, making them safer for patients.

    What is percussion?

    • Inserting a camera up a person's anus to get a view of the colon

    • A tube inserted in to the stomach in order to inflate it

    • Applying pressure to a certain area to find lumps etc.

    • Clearing the bowels of any obstruction.

    Correct Answer
    A. Applying pressure to a certain area to find lumps etc.
    Explanation
    Percussion is a medical technique where a healthcare professional applies pressure to different areas of the body to assess the underlying structures. It is commonly used to determine the presence of lumps, fluid buildup, or abnormal sounds in the body. This technique involves tapping or striking the body surface with the fingers, hands, or a percussion hammer to produce specific sounds or vibrations. By analyzing the resulting sounds or vibrations, healthcare professionals can gather information about the condition of the underlying organs or tissues.

    In a colonoscopy, what is the end of the camera coated in?

    • Lidocaine

    • Propofol

    • Salbutomol

    Correct Answer
    A. Lidocaine
    Explanation
    In a colonoscopy, the end of the camera is coated in lidocaine. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that is commonly used to numb the area and reduce discomfort during medical procedures. Coating the camera with lidocaine helps to minimize any potential pain or discomfort that the patient may experience during the colonoscopy.

    An MRI scan can distinguish between different ____________ in the body

    Correct Answer
    soft tissue
    soft tissues
    soft matter
    Explanation
    An MRI scan is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. It is particularly effective in distinguishing between different types of soft tissue, such as muscles, organs, and tumors. By analyzing the varying signals emitted by different types of soft tissue, an MRI scan can provide valuable information for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions. Soft tissues refer to the pliable and non-bony parts of the body, and soft matter is a broader term that includes both soft tissues and other substances like liquids or gels.

    Tick all an LFT (liver function test) can do

    • Find different liver disorders

    • How damaged the liver is

    • The blood content in the liver

    • How many hormones are in the liver

    • Check if the patient has chronic liver disease

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Find different liver disorders
    A. How damaged the liver is
    A. Check if the patient has chronic liver disease
    Explanation
    An LFT (liver function test) can be used to find different liver disorders by measuring the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in the blood that indicate liver damage or dysfunction. It can also provide information on how damaged the liver is by assessing the levels of bilirubin, a waste product produced by the liver. Additionally, an LFT can help in checking if the patient has chronic liver disease by evaluating the levels of certain liver enzymes and proteins over a period of time.

    A Tox Screen can be taken through a ____________

    Correct Answer(s)
    Blood Test
    Stool Sample

    A Tox Screen can be taken through a blood test, stool sample, or urine sample. These methods are used to detect the presence of toxins or drugs in the body. A blood test involves drawing a sample of blood from a vein, while a stool sample involves collecting a small amount of feces for analysis. A urine sample requires providing a sample of urine, which can be collected in a container. All three methods can be used to screen for toxins and drugs in the body.

    A Tox Screen is a test that can detect the presence of drugs or toxins in a person's system. Dementia, alcoholism, and overdosage can all be diagnosed through a Tox Screen because they can be associated with the use or abuse of certain substances. However, Aortic Stenosis, Benign Tumors, and Hemihepatectomy cannot be diagnosed through a Tox Screen as they are medical conditions that are not directly related to drug or toxin use.
