1. A large geographic area characterized by similar climate, plants, and animals is called a:

• A. Population
• B. Community
• C. Biome
• D. Ecosystem

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area. B) Community refers to all the populations of different species living and interacting in a particular area. C) Biome is a large geographic area characterized by similar climate, plants, and animals. Biomes are defined by factors such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation types. D) Ecosystem refers to a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment. An ecosystem can be part of a biome.

2. Katherine is a young Unit Manager of the Pediatric Ward. Most of her staff nurses are senior

• A. Identify the source of the conflict and understand the points of friction
• B. Disregard what she feels and continue to work independently
• C. Seek help from the Director of Nursing
• D. Quit her job and look for another employment.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Seek help from the Director of Nursing. As a young Unit Manager managing a team of senior staff nurses, Katherine may face challenges in leading and gaining the respect of her team due to the age and experience gap. Seeking help from the Director of Nursing can provide her with guidance, mentorship, and support in navigating these challenges. It is important for Katherine to communicate openly about any conflicts or issues she may be facing in order to address them effectively and maintain a positive work environment. Quitting her job (option D) should be considered as a last resort after exhausting all other possible solutions.

3. Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of blood vessels and helps regulate blood flow?

• A. Skeletal muscle
• B. Smooth muscle
• C. Cardiac muscle
• D. Striated muscle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow by contracting and relaxing to adjust the diameter of the blood vessels. Skeletal muscle (option A) is responsible for movement of the body, cardiac muscle (option C) is found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood, and striated muscle (option D) refers to both skeletal and cardiac muscle due to their striated appearance. Therefore, the specific type of muscle tissue in blood vessel walls is smooth muscle.

4. A ball is thrown upwards. At the peak of its trajectory, which of the following forces is acting on the ball?

• A. Gravity only
• B. Gravity and air resistance only
• C. Neither gravity nor air resistance
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: At the peak of its trajectory, the ball has momentarily stopped moving upwards and has not yet started to fall back down. Therefore, there is no longer a net force acting on the ball at that instant. Gravity is acting downwards, but since the ball is not moving, the force of gravity is balanced by an equal and opposite force, resulting in a net force of zero. Similarly, air resistance only affects the ball when it is in motion, so at the peak where the ball momentarily stops, there is no air resistance force. Therefore, at the peak of its trajectory, neither gravity nor air resistance is acting on the ball, making option C the correct answer.

5. Which of the following is evidence that the controlling process is effective?

• A. The things that were planned are done
• B. Physicians do not complain.
• C. Employees are contended
• D. There is an increase in customer satisfaction rate.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The things that were planned are done.' This is evidence that the controlling process is effective because it indicates that the organization is able to execute its plans successfully. When planned tasks and activities are completed as intended, it shows that the controlling function is ensuring that operations are on track and that deviations are being corrected. The completion of planned tasks also demonstrates that resources are being effectively utilized and that performance is being monitored and controlled. The other options do not directly relate to the effectiveness of the controlling process. Physicians not complaining, employees being contented, and an increase in customer satisfaction rate could be influenced by various factors and may not necessarily be solely attributed to the effectiveness of the controlling process.

6. Which property of a substance describes its ability to conduct heat or electricity?

• A. Reactivity
• B. Conductivity
• C. Density
• D. Viscosity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Conductivity refers to a substance's ability to conduct heat or electricity
