Question 1

_______________ involves the delivery of therapy using teleconferencing.

Accepted Answer

Telepsychiatry

Question 2

______________ treats skin rashes at a distance.

Accepted Answer

Teledermatology is a specialized form of telemedicine that allows dermatologists to treat and diagnose skin rashes and other dermatological problems remotely, over video conferencing or other telecommunication systems. Through teledermatology, doctors can examine skin conditions and make treatment recommendations, including prescription medications or referrals to specialists, without the need for an in-person appointment.

Question 3

_____________________ or teleconferencing allows doctors to consult with each other and with patients in real time,at a distance.

Accepted Answer

Interactive videoconferencing is a form of teleconferencing that allows real-time communication between doctors and patients at a distance. Store-and-forward (option C) refers to the process of storing and transmitting medical data or images for remote consultation, but it is not real-time communication. The order of the words in the options A and B is simply reversed and does not affect the meaning, so they are not valid options.

Question 4

Question 9

___________________ technology involves sharing information in a time- and place-independent way over the Internet.

Accepted Answer

Store-and-forward technology involves storing information for later retrieval and forwarding it to its intended recipient. This can be done over the Internet, allowing for time- and place-independent sharing of information. The other options mentioned, such as send and store and interactive videoconferencing, do not necessarily involve the storage and retrieval of information in the same way.

Question 11

_______________ involves the sending of radiological images in digital form over telecommunications lines.

Accepted Answer

Teleradiology involves the transmission of radiological images in digital form over long distances using telecommunications lines. Telekinetics is not a term related to this concept.

Question 12

_____________________ involves the delivery of therapy using teleconferencing.

Accepted Answer

Telepsychiatry involves the delivery of mental health services using teleconferencing technology. It allows psychiatrists to connect with patients who may not have easy access to mental health care, such as those in rural or remote areas.

Question 13

_______________________ saves patients by speeding diagnosis,so that tPA can be given within a few hours if appropriate.

Accepted Answer

TeleStroke is a telemedicine field that involves the use of telecommunication and information technologies to deliver stroke treatment outside of a hospital. It saves patients by speeding diagnosis, which can enable the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) within a few hours if appropriate.

__________________ technology can link devices such as a pacemaker and a cell phone.

Accepted Answer

Bluetooth technology is designed for short-range wireless communication between two devices. It is commonly used in devices such as headphones, speakers, and fitness trackers. It is also used in the medical field to connect devices such as pacemakers and glucose monitors with smartphones or tablets. Wi-Fi and satellite technologies are used for longer-range wireless communication, but are not designed for direct device-to-device connections like Bluetooth.

Question 19

In ___________,the pathologist sees images on a monitor instead of under a microscope.

Accepted Answer

Telepathology involves the use of digital images displayed on a monitor for pathology diagnosis, instead of traditional microscope slides. Teleradiology refers to the remote interpretation of medical images by a radiologist, while interactive radiology is not a commonly used term in medical imaging.

Question 20

______________ uses computers and telecommunications equipment to deliver medical care at a distance.

Accepted Answer

Telemedicine is the practice of using electronic communication and information technologies to provide or support clinical care at a distance. It involves the use of computers, telecommunication equipment, and other related technologies to deliver medical care remotely. Medical informatics and computer informatics are related fields, but they refer to the use and management of information in healthcare and do not necessarily involve remote delivery of care.
