1. Which of the following factors would NOT affect the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Particle size
• D. Nature of the solute and solvent

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Pressure does not significantly affect the solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents. The other choices are factors that can influence solubility.

2. There are times when Katherine evaluates her staff as she makes her daily rounds. Which of

• A. The staff member is observed in natural setting.
• B. Incidental confrontation and collaboration is allowed.
• C. The evaluation is focused on objective data systematically.
• D. The evaluation may provide valid information for compilation of a formal report.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The staff member is observed in a natural setting.' This option is the most appropriate because it aligns with the concept of naturalistic observation, where behavior is observed in its natural environment without interference or manipulation. In this scenario, Katherine is observing her staff during her daily rounds without any alterations to their behavior or environment. This allows for a more authentic and unbiased assessment of their performance. Options B, C, and D are not as relevant to the concept of naturalistic observation and do not accurately describe the situation presented in the question.

3. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?

• A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
• B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Use the conversion formula: °F = (°C x 9/5) + 32. Substitute 38.5°C for °C and calculate: (38.5°C x 9/5) + 32 ≈ 99.5°F.

4. 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.

5. Coronary arteries are responsible for:

• A. Delivering oxygenated blood throughout the body.
• B. Supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.
• C. Carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
• D. Regulating blood pressure through vasoconstriction and vasodilation.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.' Coronary arteries are specialized blood vessels that branch off the aorta and provide oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. This is crucial for the heart to function properly and maintain its own blood supply separate from the systemic circulation. The other options are incorrect because delivering oxygenated blood throughout the body is the role of the systemic circulation and not specific to coronary arteries. Carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart is the function of veins, while regulating blood pressure through vasoconstriction and vasodilation is primarily controlled by arteries in general, not just the coronary arteries.

6. What is the SI unit of measurement for work?

• A. Newton-meter (N·m)
• B. Joule (J)
• C. Watt (W)
• D. Meter per second (m/s)

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Work is measured in Joules (J) in the SI unit system.
