QUESTION 8

1. Alcohol poisoning may be manifested in all of the following symptoms/signs, except ________

   		confusion, stupor
   		vomiting
   		seizure
   		increased stimulation

Answer 1

1. While alcohol does not require to be digested, it can get absorbed through stomach (20%) and small intestine (80%)

   True

   False

answer 1: True

explanation for the answer choice:  Alcohol is a small molecule and is easily filtered(diffusion) across the cell membranes in the intestinal tract.The absorption of alcohol is about 20% in the stomach and 80% in the small intestine. it is not digested in the human body. As the facts listed are true,Hence this is the correct answer option.

QUESTION 2

1. Metabolism of alcohol is affected by which of the following factors?

   		gender
   		diet consumption
   		ethnicity
   		all of the above

answer 2: all of the above

explanation for the answer choice:The rate of metabolism of alcohol is different for males and females. Presence of food and the fat content in the food  influences the metabolism of alcohol. Ethnicity and genetic factors determine the level of enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase required for the metabolism of alcohol.This enzyme level is different for individuals from different ethnicity and determines the rate of metabolism of alcohol. Since all the above factors influence the metabolism of alcohol, hence this is the correct answer option.

The reasons why the other options are not correct answer: Each of the options given here is individually the correct answer, but the collective option is the correct answer choice as all the factors listed above affect alcohol metabolism;hence the answer of individual option being selected as the answer is not correct.

QUESTION 3

1. Drinking while pregnant may lead to fetal alcohol syndrome, which may include:

   		small head circumference
   		small eye opening and folds at inner corners of eyes
   		thin upper lip
   		absence of groove between upper lip and base of nose
   		short nose
   		all of the above are manifestations of fetal alcohol syndrome

answer3: all of the above are manifestations of fetal alcohol syndrome

explanation for the answer choice::Maternal consumption of alcohol causes foetal developmental retardation and fetal phenotypic changes which characterize the fetal alcohol syndrome .The fetus has a small head with a small head circumference, has a thin upper lip ,short nose,has absence of groove above the upper lip and small eyes with folds at the inner ends of the eyes .Since all the features listed above are present in fetal alcohol syndrome, hence this is the correct  answer option.

The reasons why the other options are not correct: Each of the options given here is individually the correct answer but the collective option is the correct answer choice as all the conditions listed above are the manifestations of the fetal alcohol syndrome; hence the answer of individual option being selected as the answer is not correct option.

QUESTION 4

1. Driving under influence (DUI) is illegal and is a leading cause of car accidents. What blood alcohol concentration denotes legal intoxication in the USA and Canada?

   		1.0%
   		0.05%
   		0.08%
   		0.10%

answer 4: 0.08%

Explanation for the correct answer:

The legal intoxication level of blood alcohol concentration in adults driving under the influence of alcohol in Canada and United States of America is 80 milligrams or 0.08 grams alcohol for hundred ml of blood ;which is 0.08 % hence this is the correct answer option.The criminal code (legal values denoting intoxication)blood alcohol concentration in Canada that are legally important are 0.08 % however a small amount of alcohol also can cause accidents ,hence blood alcohol concentration levels of 0.05% have the driver's been implicated with licence suspension ranging from 24 hours to 7 days depending upon the territory.

The reasons why the other options are not the correct answer: As the legal limit for blood alcohol concentration for driving under influence of alcohol in Canada and United States of America is 0.08% the other options of 1.0%.0.05%,0.01% as the blood alcohol concentration given are not the correct answer options.

QUESTION 5

1. Chronic alcohol consumption may increase the risk for ____________

   		fatty liver
   		cirrhosis of the liver
   		cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx.
   		vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency
   		all of the above are possible results

answer 5: all of the above are possible results

Explanation for the answer choice: The chronic ingestion of alcohol causes the liver diseases such as alcoholic fatty liver and in the long-term cirrhosis of liver. There is Vitamin B1 deficiency that is, thiamine deficiency in persons with chronic long term consumption of alcohol There is also increased risk of oral cavity cancers and cancers of the pharynx and larynx in persons with chronic alcohol consumption, Since all these are possible with chronic alcohol consumption hence the option all of the above are possible results is the correct answer

The reasons why the other options are not correct: Each of the options given here is individually the correct answer but the collective option is the correct answer choice as all the factors listed above are the possible results caused by the chronic alcohol consumption. Hence the answer of individual option being selected as the answer is not correct option.

QUESTiON 6

1. A standard drink is defined as the amount that provides approximately 14 g of alcohol. Which of the following is considered a standard-size drink?

   		16-ounce beer (5% ABV)
   		5-ounce glass of wine (12% ABV)
   		20-ounce wine cooler (7% ABV)
   		4-ounce pour of hard liquor (80 proof)

answer 6: 5-ounce glass of wine (12% ABV)

explanation for the correct answer: The standard drink that provides approximately 14 g of alcohol is  5-ounce glass of wine (12% ABV);Hence this is the correct answer.

The reasons why the other options are not correct:16-ounce beer (5% ABV)=12ounce beer (5% ABV) not 16;

20-ounce wine cooler (7% ABV)=12 ounce wine cooler with 5%ABV not 7% and

4-ounce pour of hard liquor (80 proof)=1.5-ounce pour of hard liquor (80 proof) and not 4-ounce correspond to the standard drink that provides approximately 14 g of alcohol. Hence the other options are not the correct answer.

QUESTION 8

1. Alcohol poisoning may be manifested in all of the following symptoms/signs, except ________

2. Alcohol poisoning may be manifested in all of the following symptoms/signs, except ________

   		confusion, stupor
   		vomiting
   		seizure
   		increased stimulation

answer8: increased stimulation

explanation for the correct answer: The signs and symptoms is seen in alcohol poisoning are those of confusion,.vomiting, seizures and irregular slow breathing ,sometimes even coma.Increased stimulation is not seen in alcohol poisoning hence this is the answer choice

The reasons why the other options are not correct answer: The symptoms/signs of confusion ,vomiting ,seizures are seen in alcohol poisoning,Hence these  options are not the correct answer.
