1. Which is/are not a commonly used system of measurement in science and medicine, around the world? Select all that apply.@ In medicine and science, the Metric and SI system are used as units of measurement around the world, varying between the two, depending on location. The British and French system are not applicable. a. Metric Systemb. SI System*c. British System*d. French SystemIn addition to the screen shot below, the question is also a conceptual review question at the end of Module 1 (see slides 16-20)2. What is a basic unit of measurement commonly used in medicine?@ The foot, inches and pound are all English units of measurement. In medicine, the gram is used. *a. Gramb. Footc. Inchesd. Pound3. What are the common fundamental units of measurement in the SI system? Select all that apply.@ Length, mass, and time are all SI units of measurement. Volume is part of the metric system *a. Length*b. Mass*c. Timed. VolumeIn addition to the screen shot below, the question is also a conceptual review question at the end of Module 1 (see slides 16-20)4. What is defined as “the quantity of material an object contains”?@ Mass is defined as the quantity of material and object contains. It is neither created nor destroyed. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies; weight is how much the object weights; length measure how long the object is from end-to-end.a. Volumeb. Length*c. Massd. Weight5. What is the metric unit of volume?@ The metric unit of volume is a liter. Ounces is the SI unit of measurement and can also measure weight. Pounds and gram, measure weight and mass, respectively, not volume. a. Ouncesb. Pounds*c. Literd. Gram6. How many centimeters are in an inch?@ There are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. a. 2.41b. 3.75c. 3.23*d. 2.547. What instrument is used to measure thickness of an object, such a waist?@ Calipers are used to measure object thickness, such as skin. A scale measures weight and/or mass. A beaker is used to measure volume. A ruler is used to measure length. a. Scale*b. Calipersc. Beakerd. Ruler8. What is described as “the study of the fundamental laws of nature that underlie all physical phenomena in the universe”?@ Physics is the study of the fundamental laws of nature that underlie all physical phenomena in the universe. Medicine is the study of health and disease. Biology is the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, and evolution. Math is the study of numbers, structures, and space.a. Medicineb. Biologyc. Math*d. Physics9. In quantitative measure, it is important to include what with the number/value of measurement?@ When listing measures, it is important to include a unit. This defines what is being measured, such as volume, mass, etc. *a. The Unit of Measurementb. The Definition of Measurementc. The Time of Measurementd. The Location of measurement 10. Which of the following is not a unit of temperature?@ Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit are all units of temperature. Ounce is a unit of weight and/or volumea. Kelvin*b. Ouncec. Celsiusd.
