1. In meiosis, how many divisions occur, and how many daughter cells are produced?

• A. One division, two daughter cells
• B. Two divisions, four daughter cells
• C. Four divisions, eight daughter cells
• D. Eight divisions, sixteen daughter cells

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: In meiosis, there are two divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in a total of four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of chromosomes. Therefore, meiosis involves two divisions and produces four daughter cells.

2. A closed system in ecology is one that:

• A. Exchanges energy but not matter
• B. Exchanges both energy and matter
• C. Exchanges neither energy nor matter
• D. Recycles nutrients efficiently

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: In ecology, a closed system is one that does not exchange matter with its surroundings but can exchange energy. This means that while energy can enter or leave the system, the amount of matter within the system remains constant. This definition aligns with option A, making it the correct answer. Options B and C are incorrect because a closed system does not exchange matter, and option D is not directly related to the definition of a closed system in ecology.

3. She takes pride in saying that the hospital has a decentralized structure. Which of the

• A. Flat organization
• B. Participatory approach
• C. Shared governance
• D. Tall organization

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Participatory approach.' In a decentralized structure, decision-making authority is dispersed throughout the organization rather than being concentrated at the top. A participatory approach involves employees at all levels having a say in decisions that affect their work, fostering collaboration and empowerment. This contrasts with a tall organization, which has many layers of management and a more centralized decision-making process. While shared governance can involve decentralized decision-making, it specifically refers to a model where nurses and other healthcare professionals have a voice in shaping policies and practices within their organization, which is not necessarily the same as a decentralized structure.

4. How many moles of oxygen are required to completely react with 5 moles of propane (C3H8) in the combustion reaction?

• A. 5 moles
• B. 10 moles
• C. 15 moles
• D. 20 moles

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The balanced equation is C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, indicating a 5:10 ratio between moles of oxygen and moles of propane.

5. When writing a blog post, consider including:

• A. Long, detailed paragraphs for comprehensive coverage.
• B. Frequent use of emojis and informal slang for a casual tone.
• C. Engaging headlines, subheadings, and bullet points for scannability.
• D. ense academic vocabulary to sound intellectual.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Blog posts require engaging formatting and concise writing for readers who scan and skim. Headlines, subheadings, and bullet points improve readability.

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.
