1. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
- A. patient
- B. form
- C. nurse
- D. missing
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
2. Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?
- A. Do to
- B. Stay was
- C. Client's
- D. Superinfection
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
3. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'The men and women of the graduating class ___ their caps in the air.'
- A. Thorough
- B. Through
- C. Threw
- D. Throwing
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Threw.' In this sentence, we need the past tense form of the verb 'throw' to show the action that occurred. Therefore, 'threw' is the correct choice. 'Thorough' (choice A) means complete or exhaustive, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. 'Through' (choice B) is a preposition or an adverb, not the correct verb form. 'Throwing' (choice D) is the present participle form and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.
4. The nurse noted in the chart, 'The patient is lethargic.' How was the patient behaving?
- A. Pacing the halls
- B. Difficult to arouse
- C. Shaking uncontrollably
- D. Not responding to pain
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Difficult to arouse.' 'Lethargic' is a medical term used to describe a state of drowsiness or lack of energy, making the patient difficult to arouse. Choices A, C, and D describe different behaviors that are not indicative of lethargy. A patient who is pacing the halls is more likely to be agitated, while shaking uncontrollably may suggest tremors or seizures. Not responding to pain indicates a lack of reaction to painful stimuli but does not directly reflect being lethargic.
5. What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?
- A. Measures contributing to cleanliness
- B. Financial resources
- C. Insurance
- D. Friendliness
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness.' In the given sentence, 'hygiene' refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health, such as washing hands, taking showers, and maintaining a clean environment. Choice B, 'Financial resources,' is incorrect as hygiene does not pertain to money matters. Choice C, 'Insurance,' is unrelated to the concept of hygiene. Choice D, 'Friendliness,' is also incorrect as it does not align with the context of personal cleanliness and health.
