1. A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Divide the patient's weight (150 pounds) by the ratio denominator (30 pounds/tablet) to get 5 tablets.

2. Stephanie is a new Staff Educator of a private tertiary hospital. She conducts orientation

• A. Organizational structure
• B. Policy
• C. Job description
• D. Manual of procedures

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Manual of procedures.' During orientation, Stephanie as a Staff Educator would likely refer to the manual of procedures to provide new employees with detailed instructions on how to perform their job duties. This manual outlines the specific procedures, protocols, and guidelines that employees are expected to follow within the organization. It serves as a valuable resource for new hires to understand the standard operating procedures and expectations within the hospital setting, making it a crucial document to reference during orientation.

3. What does the term "terminal velocity" refer to in physics?

• A. Maximum velocity reached by an object in free fall
• B. Velocity when the object is at rest
• C. nstantaneous velocity of an object
• D. Velocity only reached by heavy objects

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Terminal velocity is the constant velocity achieved by an object falling through the atmosphere when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

4. What effect does doubling the net force applied to an object have on its acceleration, assuming mass remains constant?

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

Correct answer: a

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

5. What is the name of the bone marrow cavity in the long bones where red blood cells are produced?

• A. Periosteum
• B. Diaphysis
• C. Medullary cavity
• D. Epiphysis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Diaphysis. The diaphysis is the shaft of a long bone where the medullary cavity is located. The medullary cavity is the central cavity of the diaphysis where red bone marrow is found and is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The periosteum is a dense membrane covering the outer surface of bones, not where red blood cells are produced. The epiphysis refers to the ends of long bones, while the medullary cavity is found in the diaphysis. Therefore, the correct choice is the diaphysis where the medullary cavity is located for red blood cell production.

6. What is the building block of DNA?

• A. Amino acid
• B. Nucleotide
• C. Nucleotide
• D. Fatty acid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not DNA. - Nucleotide is the correct building block of DNA. A nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). - The option "C) Nucleotide" is a duplicate of the correct answer "B) Nucleotide." - Fatty acids are not the building blocks of DNA; they are a type of lipid molecule.
