2. Which of the following is CORRECT concerning the sagittal plane of the body?
r r r r r r r r r r r r
a. Parallel to the median plane r r r r
b. Parallel to the frontal plane r r r r
c. Parallel to the horizontal plane r r r r
d. Parallel to the coronal plane r r r r
ANS: A r
Feedback
A A sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
r r r r r r r r
B A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the frontal plane but perpendicular.
r r r r r r r r r r r
C A horizontal plane is perpendicular to the median plane. A sagittal plane
r r r r r r r r r r r
isparallel to the median plane. Thus a horizontal plane is perpendicular to a
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
sagittal plane. r
D A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the coronal plane but perpendicular.

,3. When a patient is in anatomic position, what is the surface of the palms of the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
handconsidered?
r r
a. Anterior
b. Lateral
c. Medial
d. Posterior
ANS: A r
Feedback
A The palms of the hands in anatomic position are facing toward the front and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
areanterior (or ventral).
r r r r
B The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing lateral or
r r r r r r r r r r r r
awayfrom the median plane but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ventral).
r
C The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing medial or towardthe
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
median plane but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral).
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
D The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing toward the posterior
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
or back of the body but are facing toward the front and are anterior (orventral).

4. What is the anatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg?
r r r r r r r r r r r r
a. Sagittal NURSINGTB.COM
b. Contralateral
c. Ipsilateral
d. Midsagittal
ANS: B r
Feedback
A The two legs are contralateral to each other. Sagittal describes a plane of divisionof
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
the body created by an imaginary plane parallel to the median plane.
r r r r r r r r r r r r
B Contralateral structures are located on the opposite side of the body, which is r r r r r r r r r r r r
theanatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg.
r r r r r r r r r r r
C Ipsilateral refers to structures on the same side of the body; in contrast, the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
twolegs are contralateral to each other and thus are located on the opposite side of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
the body. r
D The two legs are contralateral to each other. Midsagittal describes a plane
r r r r r r r r r r r
thatdivides the body into right and left halves.
