1. Which of the following statements is NOT true about performance appraisal?

• A. Informing the staff about the specific impressions of their work help improve their
• B. A verbal appraisal is an acceptable substitute for a written report
• C. Patients are the best source of information regarding personnel appraisal.
• D. The outcome of performance appraisal rests primarily with the staff.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A is the correct answer because informing staff about specific impressions of their work can be subjective and may not always lead to improvement. Performance appraisal should be based on objective criteria and feedback. Verbal appraisals can lack documentation and clarity, making a written report a more reliable form of evaluation. Patients may provide valuable input on staff interactions, but they may not have the full context to assess job performance comprehensively. The outcome of performance appraisal should involve both the staff and the appraiser, as it is a collaborative process to identify strengths and areas for development.

2. Which sentence uses the correlative conjunction "either/or" correctly?

• A. You can either come to the party or stay home.
• B. Either she will go to the concert, or he will.
• C. I'm not sure whether I should go swimming or running.
• D. He likes both pizza and pasta, so he can have either.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option Aa uses "either/or" to present two exclusive options.

3. Identify the spectator ions in the reaction: 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2.

• A. K+ and NO3-
• B. K+ and Cl-
• C. Pb2+ and NO3-
• D. Pb2+ and Cl-

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - In the reaction, potassium ions (K+) and chloride ions (Cl-) are present on both sides of the equation. They are not involved in the formation of the products and remain unchanged. - Lead ions (Pb2+) and nitrate ions (NO3-) are involved in the formation of the products potassium nitrate (KNO3) and lead(II) chloride (PbCl2). - Therefore, the spectator ions in this reaction are K+ and Cl-.

4. What property of a substance remains constant regardless of changes in its location in the universe?

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

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and remains constant regardless of its location.

5. Which of the following blood vessels carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs?

• A. Pulmonary artery
• B. Aorta
• C. Superior vena cava
• D. Inferior vena cava

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Aorta. The aorta is the main artery in the body that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. The pulmonary artery, option A, carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The superior vena cava, option C, and inferior vena cava, option D, are veins that carry deoxygenated blood from the upper and lower parts of the body, respectively, back to the heart. Therefore, the aorta is the blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs.

6. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement. Which type of muscle tissue is found in the heart?

• A. Skeletal muscle
• B. Smooth muscle
• C. Cardiac muscle
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is a specialized type of muscle tissue found in the heart. Unlike skeletal muscle, which is under voluntary control, and smooth muscle, which is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, cardiac muscle is involuntary and responsible for the rhythmic contractions of the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Therefore, cardiac muscle is the specific type of muscle tissue found in the heart, making it the correct choice for this question.
