1. A group of antibiotics that target the cell wall of bacteria are classified as:

• A. Penicillins
• B. Tetracyclines
• C. Macrolides
• D. Fluoroquinolones

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: Penicillins are a group of antibiotics that target the cell wall of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a key component of the bacterial cell wall. By interfering with cell wall synthesis, penicillins weaken the cell wall, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. This mechanism of action makes penicillins effective against a wide range of bacteria, particularly Gram-positive bacteria. Tetracyclines (B), Macrolides (C), and Fluoroquinolones (D) have different mechanisms of action and do not specifically target the bacterial cell wall. Tetracyclines inhibit protein synthesis, Macrolides interfere with bacterial ribosomes, and Fluoroquinolones target bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.

2. Her former manager demonstrated passion for serving her staff rather than being served. She

• A. Transformational leader
• B. Transactional leader
• C. Servant leader
• D. Charismatic leader

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Servant leader.' A servant leader prioritizes the needs of their team members, focusing on serving them rather than expecting to be served. This is evident in the scenario where the former manager showed passion for serving her staff. Servant leaders are known for their humility, empathy, and commitment to the growth and well-being of their team. This leadership approach fosters a positive work environment, builds trust, and promotes collaboration among team members.

• A. 1.25ml
• B. 2.5ml
• C. 3.75ml
• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 2.5ml: Divide the teaspoon dosage (1/2) by the conversion factor (2 teaspoons/5ml).

5. What is the term for a solution with a pH value less than 7?

• A. Acidic
• B. Neutral
• C. Alkaline
• D. Basic
