1. The statement, “The Good Shepherd Medical Center aims to provide patient-centered care in

• A. Vision
• B. Goal
• C. Philosophy
• D. Mission

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Vision." A vision statement describes the desired future state or long-term goal of an organization. It outlines the aspirations and purpose of the organization, such as providing patient-centered care in this case. Vision statements are forward-looking and inspirational, guiding the organization towards achieving its ultimate objectives. In contrast, a goal is a specific, measurable, and achievable target within a set timeframe. A philosophy is a set of beliefs or guiding principles, while a mission statement defines the organization's core purpose and focus. Therefore, the statement about providing patient-centered care aligns with the concept of a vision statement.

2. What is the term for a solution that has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Dilute solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: d

Rationale: A concentrated solution has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution. The other choices do not accurately describe a concentrated solution.

3. Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting the rate of a chemical reaction?

• A. Concentration of reactants
• B. Temperature
• C. Presence of a catalyst
• D. Color of the reaction mixture

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Color of the reaction mixture. While color change can sometimes be an indicator of a reaction, it doesn't directly influence the reaction rate.

4. A ball rolls down an inclined plane. What is the main factor affecting its acceleration?

• A. The material of the ball
• B. The angle of the incline
• C. The air resistance
• D. The ball's initial velocity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The main factor affecting the acceleration of a ball rolling down an inclined plane is the angle of the incline. The steeper the incline, the greater the component of the gravitational force acting parallel to the incline, leading to a higher acceleration of the ball. The material of the ball, air resistance, and the ball's initial velocity may have some impact on the motion of the ball, but the angle of the incline is the primary factor affecting acceleration in this scenario.

5. Which of the following is a property of amphiprotic substances?

• A. React with acids only
• B. React with bases only
• C. Can act as both acids and bases
• D. Are inert in chemical reactions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Amphiprotic substances can donate or accept a proton, so they can act as both acids and bases. The other choices do not accurately describe amphiprotic substances.

6. Which element is used in fire extinguishers to smother flames by displacing oxygen?

• A. Nitrogen
• B. Carbon dioxide
• C. Helium
• D. Argon

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Carbon dioxide extinguishes flames by depriving them of oxygen, preventing the chemical reaction that sustains the fire.
