2. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50

• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.

Acne (option C) is a common skin condition characterized by pimples and clogged pores. Vitiligo (option D) is a condition where the skin loses its pigment, resulting in white patches.

5. Functional nursing has some advantages, which one is an EXCEPTION?

• A. Psychological and sociological needs are emphasized.
• B. Great control of work activities.
• C. Most economical way of delivering nursing services.
• D. Workers feel secure in dependent role

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Functional nursing is a task-oriented approach where each nurse is assigned specific duties, leading to efficient task completion but often resulting in a lack of holistic care. While functional nursing may provide great control over work activities and can be cost-effective due to specialization, it does not emphasize psychological and sociological needs, which is a significant disadvantage. Additionally, the dependent role that workers feel in functional nursing can lead to disempowerment and hinder professional growth and autonomy. Therefore, option A, 'Psychological and sociological needs are emphasized,' is the exception among the advantages of functional nursing.

6. The microscopic functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood is the:

• A. Ureter
• B. Nephron
• C. Renal pelvis
• D. Bladder

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nephron. The nephron is the microscopic functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. It consists of the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule. The other options, A: Ureter, C: Renal pelvis, and D: Bladder, are incorrect as they are not parts of the nephron but rather other structures involved in the urinary system. The ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the renal pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine, and the bladder stores urine before it is excreted from the body.
