1. Which phase of the employment process includes getting on the payroll and completing

• A. Orientation
• B. Induction
• C. Selection
• D. Recruitment

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Recruitment. Recruitment is the phase of the employment process where organizations actively seek out and attract potential candidates for job openings. This involves advertising the position, sourcing candidates, and conducting initial screenings. Once the recruitment process is complete and a candidate has been selected, they move on to the selection phase. Orientation, on the other hand, occurs after a candidate has been hired and involves familiarizing the new employee with the organization, its policies, and their role. Induction is often used interchangeably with orientation and refers to the process of integrating a new employee into the organization. Therefore, in this context, recruitment is the most appropriate phase that involves getting on the payroll and completing the initial steps to bring a new employee on board.

2. The deeper layer of the skin, containing connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings, is called the:

• A. Epidermis
• B. Dermis
• C. Hypodermis
• D. Stratum corneum

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dermis. The dermis is the deeper layer of the skin that contains important structures such as connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings. It plays a crucial role in providing support and nourishment to the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. The epidermis, option A, is actually the outermost layer responsible for protecting the body from environmental factors. The hypodermis, option C, is the deepest layer of the skin that primarily consists of fat and connective tissue. Stratum corneum, option D, is the outermost layer of the epidermis composed of dead skin cells. Therefore, the dermis is the correct answer in this case.

3. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.

4. A medication order is for 250 micrograms of a drug to be administered subcutaneously. The available syringe measures in milliliters. How many milliliters should the nurse draw up?

• A. 0.00025 milliliters
• B. 0.0025 milliliters
• C. 0.025 milliliters
• D. 0.25 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First convert micrograms to milliliters, knowing 1000 micrograms equal 1 milliliter. Divide the desired dosage (250 micrograms) by the conversion factor (1000 micrograms/milliliter) to find the volume needed: 250 micrograms / 1000 micrograms/milliliter = 0.00025 milliliters. However, drawing such a small volume might be inaccurate, so round to the nearest practical measurement, which is 0.0025 milliliters.

5. Which property of matter explains why ice floats on water?

• A. Viscosity
• B. Density
• C. Buoyancy
• D. Surface tension

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid (like water) on an object immersed in it. Ice floats on water because it is less dense than water, experiencing an upward force (buoyancy) greater than its weight.

6. According to the passage, learning from history can help us

• A. predict future events with complete certainty.
• B. avoid any possibility of making mistakes in the present.
• C. identify potential challenges and develop innovative solutions.
• D. directly replicate the successes of past societies in our own time.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage emphasizes learning from both successes and failures, identifying potential obstacles, and using historical knowledge to create solutions for current problems.
