Solution
13. (1).
Explanation:
Urine, stool and saliva used for identifying the risk factors of disease, characteristics of
associated with having the disease, presence of disease.
Saliva used in advanced molecular biology tools that detect the many oral and systemic diseases.
Urine used in clinical labs for diagnosis purpose. Urine has so many micro and macro ions and
few of the toxic products like ammonia. Any of these elements levels increase that leads to many
abnormalities. So, these abnormalities are detected by using the urine samples.
Stool used in clinical labs for the diagnosis of many parasitic diseases such as hook worms,
ascariasis, and whipworm.
But blood pressure is unable to detect by using above the factors (blood pressure is measured as
the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries.)
So that, correct answer is blood pressure
(2) Answer:
A is true
(An abstract is the summary of the details covered in an article. Reading an abstract can help to
understand the purpose of the paper.)
(3) Answer: B false (It is much more difficult to measure societal impact than scientific impact
and probably there are no defined indicators for a societal impact)
(4) Answer: D all of the above (identifying and classifying new health problems, determining
risk factors and evaluating the impact of health policies on health outcomes)
(5) Answer: D all of the above. (All the tests mentioned are used for the measurement of the
physiological functions)
Audiometry test use for to measure the hearing ability of a patients or persons. This test
commonly used defense recruitment (army, air force and navel soldiers’ recruitment)
Spirometry test use for lung functions. It measure volume and flow of the air during inhalation
and exhalation. Spirometry use for breathing problems that identify the conditions such as,
asthma, cystic fibrosis and other pulmonary problems.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is most commonly used in cardiology department that record the
electrical activity of the heart.
Hence, the all options are correct.
