Cardiovascular Endurance. Muscular Strength. Muscular endurance. Flexibility. Body Composition. What are 5 health related fitness components and give examples of each? There are five components of physical fitness: (1) body composition, (2) flexibility, (3) muscular strength, (4) muscular endurance, and (5) cardiorespiratory endurance. A well-balanced exercise program should include activities that address all of the…
Newton’s third law: “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is where you get the bounce! When you push down on the trampoline (or fall downward onto the trampoline bed), Newton’s third law says that an equal and opposite reaction pushes back. What are the physics of a trampoline? When you…
When two vectors are multiplied with each other and the multiplication is also a vector quantity, then the resultant vector is called the cross product of two vectors or the vector product. The resultant vector is perpendicular to the plane containing the two given vectors. What happens when a vector is multiplied by a unit…
Physical restraints limit a patient’s movement. Chemical restraints are any form of psychoactive medication used not to treat illness, but to intentionally inhibit a particular behaviour or movement. Environmental restraints control a patient’s mobility. What are some negative side effects of chemical restraints? Increased dependence and functional decline. Loss of memory. Agitation. Withdrawal and depression.…
A statement from the Ministry of Health said routine annual physical exams have never been covered in B.C. Physicians can bill the MSP for a complete physical if they deem it medically necessary, whereas routine annual exams are not covered. How much is a physical exam in BC? The fee for a physical exam is…
The periodic table is organized into groups (vertical columns), periods (horizontal rows), and families (groups of elements that are similar). Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Meanwhile, elements in the same period have the same number of occupied electron shells. Do all the elements in a group have similar…

Despite these advancements, most urologists and even general practitioners continue to perform DREs on men seeking PCa screening. Many physicians are adamant that it is still their responsibility to do so. Are prostate exams no longer recommended? Absolutely. Screening for prostate cancer is very important and recommended by the American Urology Association for men over…
A flame test is an analytical procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain elements, primarily metal ions, based on each element’s characteristic emission spectrum. Is flame Colour a physical property? Yes, flammability is a chemical property. We know this because burning something results in a chemical change (for example, creating carbon dioxide…
Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Is igneous rock a chemical rock? Igneous rocks may be simply classified according to their chemical/mineral composition as felsic, intermediate,…
This is a chemical change. The bubbles formed carbon dioxide which was caused by a chemical reaction. 4. Is Bubbling physical change? If you have, you know that it bubbles! This is an example of a chemical change. The new substance that is formed is carbon dioxide gas which causes the bubbles. When iron rusts,…
Length is called a fundamental quantity because the length of an object does not change. The fundamental quantities are the quantities of objects that are intrinsic to themselves. Is time a fundamental quantities? Because there are two different possible values of 25 sec or 20 sec for the same event, time cannot be treated as…
What does Archimedes Principle State? Archimedes’ principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull…
According to Rick Gawenda in this blog post, CMS does not allow assistants to complete full progress notes. Instead, licensed clinicians (i.e., PTs or OTs) must write progress notes themselves. Who can write progress notes? Progress notes are written by both physicians and nurses to document patient care on a regular interval during a patient’s…
The perpetual inventory method does not attempt to maintain counts of physical products. Perpetual inventory systems are in contrast to periodic inventory systems, in which reoccurring counts of products are utilized in record-keeping. Why is physical inventory count important in perpetual system? This allows the company to compare the two counts to the quantity recorded…
Colleges and universities can promote physical activity by creating pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly campuses and adopting policies that encourage walking and biking. What is physical activity promotion? World Health Organization (WHO) defines PA as any bodily movement produced by the skeletal muscles that requires increased energy expenditure above resting requirements and involves household tasks, leisure time…
A number of professions are exempt such as doctors, psychologist, dentists, podiatrists, insurance agents, stockbrokers, lawyers, accountants, engineers, veterinarians, direct sellers, real estate agents, hairstylists, barbers, and travel agents. Physical therapists are not listed as exempt, so the bill applies. Are physical therapists exempt from AB 5? The bill exempts certain licensed health care professionals.…
A physical property is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition. Familiar examples of physical properties include density, color, hardness, melting and boiling points, and electrical conductivity. Is melting point a physical or chemical property? Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance…
