1. Which property of a substance refers to its ability to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking?

• A. Malleability
• B. Ductility
• C. Viscosity
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Malleability is the property that describes a substance's ability to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.

2. You need to repaint a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. Assuming one can of paint covers 10 sq m, how many cans do you need (consider only the exterior surface)?

• A. 6 cans
• B. 9 cans
• C. 12 cans
• D. 15 cans

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Calculate the surface area of the cylinder and divide by the coverage area per can.

3. What is the process by which lighter nuclei fuse to form heavier nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy?

• A. Fission
• B. Fusion
• C. Radioactivity
• D. Chain reaction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Fusion is the process by which lighter nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This process is the source of energy in stars, including our Sun, and is different from fission, which involves the splitting of heavier nuclei into lighter nuclei. Radioactivity refers to the emission of particles or radiation from the nucleus of an unstable atom, while a chain reaction is a self-sustaining reaction where the products of one reaction cause further reactions.

4. Which property of matter refers to the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Density
• D. Volume

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. It is calculated as mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.

5. How does the acceleration of an object change if the force acting on it is doubled?

• A. Acceleration is halved
• B. Acceleration doubles
• C. Acceleration remains unchanged
• D. Acceleration quadruples

Correct answer: b

Rationale: According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if force is doubled and mass remains constant, acceleration doubles.

6. Which of the following guidelines should be least considered in formulating objectives for

• A. Written nursing care plan
• B. Holistic approach
• C. Prescribed standards
• D. Staff preferences

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When formulating objectives for a written nursing care plan, staff preferences should be least considered. Objectives should be based on patient needs, evidence-based practice, and professional standards rather than personal preferences of the staff. Prescribed standards ensure quality care and adherence to best practices. A holistic approach considers the whole patient, including physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Staff preferences may introduce bias and should not dictate patient care objectives.
