About this Exam

Prepare with the Befähigungsprüfung Bestattung Practice Questions - Befähigungsprüfung Bestattung (Austria) Exam practice quiz. This question bank includes 100 questions covering burial, austrian, post-mortem, deceased, and funeral. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.

Sample Questions

Question 1
Which of the following clinical observations constitutes a definitive, certain sign of death (sicheres Todeszeichen) rather than an uncertain sign during post-mortem examination (Totenbeschau)?
Livores (Totenflecke) distributed across dependent, uncompressed anatomical areas
Absence of spontaneous respiration for more than ten consecutive minutes
Bilateral fixed and dilated pupils unresponsive to direct light stimulation
Progressive body cooling (Algor mortis) below 30 degrees Celsius
Question 2
During post-mortem inspection, a funeral director notes that pressing firmly with a thumb on hypostatic patches (Livores) causes complete blanching, but after shifting the body onto its back, new patches form on the dorsal side while anterior patches fade completely. What does this indicate regarding post-mortem interval (Todeszeitpunkt)?
The post-mortem interval is under 6 hours, where Livores are both fully blanchable (wegdrückbar) and fully shiftable (vollständig umlagerbar)
The post-mortem interval is between 24 and 48 hours, where Livores become permanently fixed within vascular beds
The deceased has entered advanced autolysis where erythrocyte hemolysis prevents any physical pigment relocation
The vascular system has suffered irreversible microvascular thrombosis completely locking blood in the dermal capillaries
Question 3
When examining a deceased person in a refrigerated mortuary, the funeral director observes bright cherry-red hypostasis (hellrote / kirschrote Totenflecke). Which underlying cause of death is most typically associated with this specific discoloration?
Acute carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication or lethal cyanide poisoning
Massive hepatic failure resulting in severe pre-mortem hyperbilirubinemia
Prolonged sepsis leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and methemoglobinemia
Acute congestive heart failure with extensive pulmonary venous stasis
Question 4
According to Nysten's rule (Nysten-Regel), in what anatomical sequence does rigor mortis (Totenstarre) typically develop throughout the human body?
Lower jaw and facial muscles, followed by the neck, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities
Large lower limb muscles (quadriceps), ascending through the abdomen, chest, and terminating in the facial mimetic muscles
Simultaneously across all skeletal muscle groups without any anatomical directionality
Distal extremities (fingers and toes), spreading proximally toward the core axial musculature
Question 5
What is the physiological basis of the 'idiomuscular contraction' (Zsako-Muskelwulst / mechanische Erregbarkeit) observed during the early post-mortem interval?
Local contraction of muscle fibers upon mechanical percussion due to residual intracellular ATP and viable sarcoplasmic excitability
Electrical discharge of motor neurons in the spinal cord caused by post-mortem anoxia
Rapid denaturation of actomyosin filaments induced by intracellular lactic acidosis
Osmotic swelling of myofibrils resulting from post-mortem membrane permeability failure
