1. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes from digested food material. What waste product remains after water absorption and is eventually eliminated from the body?

• A. Chyme
• B. Bolus
• C. Glucose
• D. Feces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from digested food material. As the waste material moves through the large intestine, most of the water is absorbed, leaving behind waste products known as feces. Feces consist of indigestible material, bacteria, and some remaining waste products. This waste is eventually eliminated from the body through the process of defecation. Chyme refers to the semi-fluid mass of partially digested food that moves from the stomach to the small intestine. Bolus is a term used to describe a mass of chewed food ready to be swallowed. Glucose is a simple sugar that is absorbed in the small intestine and used as an energy source. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Feces.

2. What is the main component of sweat?

• A. Urea
• B. Glucose
• C. Water
• D. Electrolytes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Sweat is primarily composed of water, making up the majority of its content. Water helps regulate body temperature by evaporating from the skin's surface, which cools the body down. - While sweat does contain small amounts of other substances like urea, glucose, and electrolytes, water is the main component that is secreted by sweat glands to help regulate body temperature during physical activity or in response to heat.

3. What is the term for a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Dilute solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute has dissolved under specific conditions. The other choices do not accurately describe a saturated solution.

4. The element with the atomic number 17 is:

• A. Chlorine (Cl)
• B. Nitrogen (N)
• C. Sodium (Na)
• D. Fluorine (F)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Chlorine (Cl) - Chlorine has 17 protons, corresponding to atomic number 17.

5. She knows that there are external forces that influence changes in his unit. Which of the

• A. Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption
• B. Demands of the labor sector to increase wages
• C. Low morale of staff in her unit
• D. Exacting regulatory and accreditation standards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is option A: 'Memo from the CEO to cut down on electrical consumption.' This choice represents an external force that can influence changes in the unit by setting a directive from top management to reduce electricity usage, impacting operations and decisions within the unit. While options B, C, and D may also affect the unit to some extent, they are not as directly tied to external influences as the CEO's memo. The demands of the labor sector (option B) and low staff morale (option C) are internal factors, while regulatory and accreditation standards (option D) are more overarching guidelines rather than specific external forces impacting the unit. Therefore, the most direct and relevant external force in this scenario is the directive from the CEO, making option A the correct choice.

6. Percent Increase/Decrease: A medication dosage is increased by 20%. If the original dosage was 100mg, what is the new dosage?

• A. 80mg
• B. 100mg
• C. 120mg
• D. 140mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the original dosage (100mg) by 1 + the percentage increase (20% = 0.2) to get 120mg.
