Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hey, Doctor! Before you start your day, you should put on some special clothes. Which of these is a must to wear if you're a doctor?

Answer: long, white coat

Most doctors wear long, white coats. These are so that the doctor's regular clothes don't get dirty. Doctors do some messy work and they want to go home in clean clothes.

2. You're ready for your first patient! This patient complains of a runny nose and a cough. Which of these should you do first?

Answer: take the patient's temperature

Doctors take temperatures to see if a patient has a fever or not. If you have a runny nose and cough, you most likely have a cold. If the temperature is higher than 98.6 F or 37.00 C, the patient has a temperature. Usually, rest or medicine makes a temperature go down.

3. This patient has a sore throat. Which of these instruments would be useful when looking at this patient's throat?

Answer: tongue depressor

A tongue depressor is a wooden stick that looks like a popsicle stick. Doctors use it to literally depress (hold down) the tongue! By holding down the patient's tongue, a doctor can take a good look at his or her throat.

Answer: stethoscope

As a doctor, you will probably use the stethoscope a lot. Doctors listen to the heart of almost every patient to see if it is beating normally. The stethoscope may feel cold against your skin, but it doesn't hurt.

5. Calling the doctor! Emergency in room 215! A boy has fallen out of a tree and has broken his leg in two places! Which of these should you put on his leg to help it mend?

Answer: cast

If a person breaks their leg, they need to go to the hospital or to the doctor's right away. The doctor will usually examine the leg using an x-ray, set the leg and then cover it with a cast. A cast is thick and white and may be left on from a few weeks to a few months.

A band-aid is used for small cuts or scratches, an elastic bandage is used for twisted ankles and sprains, and slings are used for broken arms.

6. You have a girl coming in for a checkup. As you take a look at your charts, you see that she doesn't have all of her shots! What are these shots called?

Answer: vaccinations

Vaccinations are shots that prevent you from diseases. Vaccines have stopped many diseases once and for all. Shots may pinch, but the pinch only lasts for a moment. Anyways, a little pinch is much better than the pain you can feel if you get the disease. But, it is perfectly normal to be afraid of shots. Even some doctors are scared to get them!

Answer: hair sample test

In a urine test, you pee into a cup. A blood test involves taking a bit of blood from your veins (Don't worry! Your body will make new blood). Blood tests may hurt a little, but doctors need to take them to diagnose a lot of diseases. X-rays are pictures of your insides, usually bones. They don't hurt and last only a second.

8. You finally have a lunch break! As a doctor, you know to eat a healthy lunch. Which of these is the healthiest lunch?

Answer: turkey and lettuce sandwich on wheat bread, water, and a banana

You shouldn't eat too many sweet things (like cola, ice cream, or cookies), fatty things (like chips, hamburgers and fries) or salty things (fries are salty too). Try to eat fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and dairy.

9. This patient is healthy but needs a complete checkup for sports. Which of these body parts should you check?

Answer: all of these

When doing a checkup, a doctor should check all the body parts. Aside from the ears, stomach, and back, doctors should also check eyes, mouths, chests, legs, arms, and much, much, more. Only after making sure all the body parts are OK can a doctor declare that the patient is truly healthy.

10. This patient needs medicine to feel better. There are so many types of medicines out there! Which of these is NOT a type of medicine?

Answer: candy

Pills are round. You usually swallow them. Tablets can be swallowed or dissolved in your mouth. Ointments are rubbed on to your skin. It is important for a doctor to know which medicine to prescribe. Never take a medicine that wasn't meant for you! And that's it! That's your day as a doctor! Good job!
