Question

question 235
which of the following is not a congenital heart defect?
o atrial septal defect
o cerebral vascular accident
o tetralogy of fallot
o ventricular septal defect

question 236
a patient may display an ecchymosis after a/an:
o arrhythmia
o cerebral thrombosis
o motor vehicle accident
o myocardial infarction

question 237
the somatic peripheral nervous system is composed of neurons that control the \soma\ or body. they specifically control which of the following?
o involuntary reflexes
o muscles
o organs
o special senses

Explanation:

• Question 235: Congenital heart defects are present at birth. Atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, and ventricular septal defect are congenital heart defects. Cerebral vascular accident (stroke) is not a heart defect.
• Question 236: Ecchymosis (bruising) is due to bleeding under the skin. A motor vehicle accident can cause trauma leading to ecchymosis. Arrhythmia, cerebral thrombosis, and myocardial infarction are not directly related to ecchymosis.
• Question 237: The somatic peripheral nervous system controls voluntary movements, specifically muscles. Involuntary reflexes are part of the autonomic nervous system. Organs are mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Special senses are related to sensory neurons but not the main control of the somatic peripheral nervous system.

Answer:

• Question 235: cerebral vascular accident
• Question 236: motor vehicle accident
• Question 237: muscles
