1. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?
- A. Won't
- B. Willn't
- C. Wouldn't
- D. Will'nt
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'
2. What does the term 'bilingual' mean in the sentence: 'Being bilingual is an advantage for a nurse'?
- A. Able to speak more than one language
- B. Able to use either hand
- C. Not squeamish about blood
- D. Can remember everything
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Able to speak more than one language.' In the context provided, 'bilingual' refers to the ability to speak two languages. This is advantageous for a nurse who may need to communicate with patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of 'bilingual' as the ability to speak multiple languages.
3. 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.
4. A person who is ravenous is:
- A. generous
- B. outspoken
- C. friendly
- D. hungry
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "hungry." The term 'ravenous' specifically refers to being extremely hungry or famished. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'ravenous.' Being generous, outspoken, or friendly does not directly relate to the intense hunger implied by the word 'ravenous.'
5. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?
- A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
- B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
- C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
- D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.
