1.4 · Anatomical position and directional terms Easy Remember
Objective: Use the anatomical position and directional terms to describe accurately where one body part lies relative to another.
The learner recalls the features of anatomical position.
In anatomical position, which way do the palms face? A Forward, with the thumbs pointing away from the body B Backward, facing the buttocks C Downward, resting on the thighs D It does not matter, because the palms are not part of the definition Previous Check answer
Create is not measured by multiple-choice questions; use a separate written or practical task with a rubric for that Bloom level.
