Nursing Elites

1. What is the best way to revise the sentence: "Her eyes glistened with tears in the moonlight"?

• A. Her eyes glistened in the moonlight, with tears.
• B. Tears glistened in her eyes with moonlight.
• C. Her eyes, in the moonlight, glistened with tears.
• D. Tears made her eyes glisten in the moonlight.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C rearranges the elements for smoother flow and emphasis on the tears.

2. What is the main function of energy storage technologies in the context of renewable energy?

• A. Reduce the cost of producing solar and wind power.
• B. Enhance the efficiency of energy transmission and distribution.
• C. Compensate for the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.
• D. Eliminate the need for fossil fuels in electricity generation.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Choice C directly addresses the passage's emphasis on managing the fluctuating availability of renewable energy, hence being the main function of storage technologies.

3. What is the term for the process of separating the components of a solution based on their different rates of movement through a medium?

• A. Filtration
• B. Distillation
• C. Chromatography
• D. Precipitation

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Chromatography is a technique used to separate the components of a solution based on their different rates of movement through a medium. The other choices are different separation techniques.

4. What type of genetic testing can reveal an individual's susceptibility to certain diseases?

• A. Karyotyping
• B. Pharmacogenomics
• C. Paternity testing
• D. Microarray analysis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Karyotyping is a genetic test that examines an individual's chromosomes to detect abnormalities such as extra or missing chromosomes. It is not typically used to reveal an individual's susceptibility to certain diseases. B) Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs. It focuses on how genetic variations can influence drug response, rather than susceptibility to diseases. C) Paternity testing is a genetic test used to determine the biological relationship between a child and an alleged father. It is not used to reveal an individual's susceptibility to diseases. D) Microarray analysis is a type of genetic testing that can reveal an individual's susceptibility to certain diseases by analyzing variations in their DNA. It can identify genetic markers associated with increased risk for specific conditions, allowing for personalized risk assessment and preventive measures.

5. What is the process of making copies of DNA called?

• A. Transcription
• B. Translation
• C. Replication
• D. DNA repair

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template. It involves the creation of mRNA molecules from a DNA template. B) Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA. During translation, the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids, forming a protein. C) Replication is the process of making copies of DNA. This process occurs before cell division and ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material. D) DNA repair is a cellular mechanism that corrects errors in DNA that arise due to various factors such as exposure to mutagens or mistakes during DNA replication. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the genetic material.

6. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Divide the total liquid volume (15ml) by the syringe capacity (3ml/syringe) to get 5 syringes.
