1. Scientific notation is a way to represent very large or small numbers in a compact form. If a number is written as 4.82 x 10^3, what is the value of the number in standard form?

• A. 0.004 82
• B. 0.482
• C. 4820
• D. 4820000

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: When a number is written in scientific notation as \(a \times 10^n\), the value of the number in standard form is obtained by multiplying \(a\) by \(10^n\). In this case, the number is \(4.82 \times 10^3\). To convert this to standard form, we multiply 4.82 by \(10^3\), which means moving the decimal point 3 places to the right. \(4.82 \times 10^3 = 4820\) Therefore, the value of the number in standard form is 4820, which corresponds to option C.

2. A major factor influencing the distribution of organisms geographically is:

• A. The availability of specific types of food sources
• B. olerance of organisms to different temperature ranges
• C. Competition for mates within the same species
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: The distribution of organisms geographically is influenced by a variety of factors, including the availability of specific types of food sources (option A). Organisms need to have access to suitable food sources in order to survive and thrive in a particular area. Additionally, the tolerance of organisms to different temperature ranges (option B) is crucial as temperature can greatly impact where certain species can live. Organisms must be able to withstand the temperature conditions of a given environment to survive there. Competition for mates within the same species (option C) can also play a role in the distribution of organisms, as it can affect population sizes and dynamics in different areas. Therefore, all of these factors - food availability, temperature tolerance, and competition for mates - collectively influence the distribution of organisms geographically.

3. What is the medical term for ingrown hair?

• A. Folliculitis
• B. Hirsutism
• C. Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
• D. Alopecia

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Pseudofolliculitis Barbae.' This term specifically refers to ingrown hairs commonly seen in the beard area. Folliculitis (A) is inflammation of the hair follicles, not necessarily due to ingrown hairs. Hirsutism (B) is excessive hair growth, unrelated to ingrown hairs. Alopecia (D) is hair loss, which is also not related to ingrown hairs. Therefore, 'Pseudofolliculitis Barbae' is the medical term specifically used to describe ingrown hairs in the beard area, making it the correct answer.

4. 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.

5. Which term describes the resistance of a substance to flow?

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

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Viscosity refers to the resistance of a substance to flow. Substances with high viscosity flow slowly, while those with low viscosity flow more easily.

6. Identify the clause that acts as an adverbial modifier in the sentence: "While the movie was playing, I snuck out to get popcorn."

• A. While the movie was playing
• B. I snuck out
• C. to get popcorn
• D. the movie was playing

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The clause "While the movie was playing" modifies the verb "snuck out," describing the time of the action.
