Question 1 of 5.

Which of the following is a standard way to treat for shock in an accident victim?

A. Have victim walk around.

B. Have victim breathe into a paper bag.

C. Give victim cold water.

D. Have victim lie down with feet slightly raised.

Explanation: The standard first aid for shock involves having the victim lie down with their feet slightly raised (choice D), if injuries permit. This position helps improve blood flow to vital organs by promoting venous return to the heart. Having the victim walk around (choice A) would worsen shock by further depleting blood supply to organs. Having the victim breathe into a paper bag (choice B) is used for hyperventilation, not shock. Giving cold water (choice C) is generally not recommended for shock victims, as fluids should ideally be administered intravenously by medical professionals or withheld if there's a risk of vomiting.

Question 2 of 5.

Listing possible solutions to problems and the consequences of behavior are steps most closely associated with the teaching of which of the following social skills?

A. Refusal

B. Goal setting

C. Decision making

D. Negotiation

Explanation: The process of listing possible solutions and evaluating the consequences of behavior is a fundamental component of 'decision making' (choice C). This systematic approach helps individuals weigh options and choose the most appropriate course of action. Refusal skills (choice A) involve strategies to decline peer pressure. Goal setting (choice B) involves identifying objectives and planning steps to achieve them. Negotiation (choice D) involves finding mutually acceptable solutions in a conflict. While elements of these skills might involve some level of decision-making, choice C directly encompasses the specified steps.

Question 3 of 5.

Which of the following health education standards represents the highest level of health literacy?

A. Self-management

B. Interpersonal communication

C. Understanding core concepts

D. Accessing information

Explanation: Health literacy involves the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. 'Self-management' (choice A) represents the highest level because it involves applying health knowledge and skills to make personal decisions and take action to promote one's own health and well-being. Understanding core concepts (choice C) and accessing information (choice D) are foundational components of health literacy. Interpersonal communication (choice B) is a skill used to obtain or share information, but self-management integrates all these components into actionable behavior.

Question 4 of 5.

Rohypnol, GHB, ketamine, and alcohol have all been associated to which of the following?

A. Sexual assault

B. Motor vehicle accidents

C. Suicide

D. Gang initiations

Explanation: Rohypnol, GHB, and ketamine are known as 'date rape drugs' because they can incapacitate victims, making them vulnerable to 'sexual assault' (choice A). Alcohol, while not a date rape drug, can also impair judgment and lower inhibitions, making individuals more susceptible to sexual assault. While these substances can also contribute to motor vehicle accidents (choice B), and alcohol abuse is linked to suicide (choice C) and gang violence (choice D), their common association as a group (especially the first three) is with facilitating sexual assault.

Question 5 of 5.

The fight-or-flight response occurs when which of the following is triggered as a person perceives a real or imaginary stressor?

A. Integumentary system

B. Lymphatic system

C. Autonomic nervous system

D. Muscular system

Explanation: The fight-or-flight response is primarily mediated by the 'autonomic nervous system' (choice C), specifically its sympathetic branch. When a stressor is perceived, the sympathetic nervous system rapidly activates, releasing hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline, which prepare the body for immediate action (increased heart rate, breathing, blood flow to muscles). The integumentary system (choice A) relates to skin, hair, and nails. The lymphatic system (choice B) is part of the immune system. The muscular system (choice D) is directly involved in the physical actions of fight or flight, but its activation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
