• C. Real images are formed by converging lenses, while virtual images are formed by diverging lenses.

2. What is the term for the process of exchanging gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and the tissues?

• A. Inhalation
• B. Exhalation
• C. External respiration
• D. Internal respiration

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Internal respiration.' Internal respiration refers to the process where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide between the blood and the body tissues at the cellular level. Inhalation (A) and exhalation (B) pertain to the movement of air into and out of the lungs. External respiration (C) involves the exchange of gases between the lungs and the bloodstream. Understanding internal respiration is crucial as it directly impacts the body's ability to supply oxygen to tissues and remove carbon dioxide, which is essential for cellular function and overall health.

3. Which of the following statements refers to criteria?

• A. Agreed on level of nursing care
• B. Characteristics used to measure the level of nursing care
• C. Step-by-step guidelines
• D. Statement which guide the group in decision making and problem solving

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Criteria are specific characteristics or standards used to evaluate or measure the quality or level of something. In this case, statement B, 'Characteristics used to measure the level of nursing care,' correctly refers to criteria because it highlights the specific attributes that are used to assess the quality or level of nursing care provided. The other options do not directly address the concept of criteria. Option A describes an agreed-upon level of care but does not specifically refer to criteria. Option C describes step-by-step guidelines, which are more related to processes or procedures. Option D mentions statements that guide decision-making and problem-solving, which are not necessarily criteria. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice as it directly aligns with the definition and concept of criteria.

6. 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
• C. 75
• 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.
