Nursing Elites

1. How can the periodic table be used to predict the charge of an ion formed by an element?

• A. Look for elements with similar atomic weights.
• B. Identify the group number, which corresponds to the typical ionic charge.
• C. Calculate the difference between protons and electrons.
• D. Analyze the element's position within the period.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Identify the group number, which corresponds to the typical ionic charge. Elements tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration like the noble gas group. Their group number often indicates the number of electrons gained/lost and the resulting ionic charge.

2. Identify the adjective in the following sentence: The colorful sunset painted the sky with vibrant hues.

• A. sunset
• B. with
• C. colorful
• D. painted

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. The adjective "colorful" describes the noun "sunset".

3. What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

• A. Mass is a measure of inertia
• B. Mass has no relation to inertia
• C. Inertia is a measure of weight
• D. Inertia increases with decreasing mass

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is directly related to its inertia.

4. She conducts a 6-month performance review session with a staff member. Which of the

• A. She asks another nurse to attest the session as a witness.
• B. She informs the staff that she may ask another nurse to read the appraisal before the session is
• C. She tells the staff that the session is manager-centered.
• D. The session is private between the two members.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C is the correct answer because telling the staff that the session is manager-centered indicates that the focus will be on the manager's evaluation and feedback rather than promoting a collaborative and transparent review process. This approach can lead to a one-sided assessment and may not foster open communication or growth opportunities for the staff member. Options A and B involve bringing in another nurse, which could potentially compromise the privacy and effectiveness of the performance review. Option D, stating that the session is private between the two members, does not address the issue of the session being manager-centered. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice to highlight the importance of a balanced and inclusive performance review process.

5. Which pronoun correctly replaces the underlined phrase in the sentence: "Jessica invited Sarah and me to the party, but I forgot to respond to her."

• A. We
• B. Us
• C. Ours
• D. Myself

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Ours" clarifies that the response forgetting was a joint action by Jessica and the speaker.

6. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?

• A. Which statement accurately describes cytokinesis in animal cells?
• B. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• C. A cell plate forms in the center of the dividing cell, eventually separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
• D. The nucleus elongates and pulls apart, physically dividing the cytoplasm into two.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) This statement is a duplicate of option C and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. B) In animal cells, during cytokinesis, a cleavage furrow forms in the center of the dividing cell. This furrow deepens and eventually pinches the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This process is distinct from plant cells, where a cell plate forms. C) This statement is a duplicate of option A and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. D) This statement describes the process of nuclear division (mitosis) rather than cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.
