1. What is the term for a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute has dissolved under specific conditions. The other choices do not accurately describe a saturated solution.

2. What skin condition is characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches?

• A. Eczema
• B. Psoriasis
• C. Melanoma
• D. Keloid

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eczema. Eczema is a common skin condition that is characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed patches on the skin. It is often triggered by environmental factors or allergies and can vary in severity. Psoriasis (option B) is also a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin, but it is typically thicker and more silver or white in color compared to eczema. Melanoma (option C) is a type of skin cancer that usually presents as a new mole or a changing mole on the skin, rather than red, itchy patches. Keloid (option D) is a raised scar that can result from an overgrowth of scar tissue. Therefore, the most appropriate answer to this question is A: Eczema, based on the description of red, itchy, and inflamed patches.

3. Scientific findings are constantly evolving. This emphasizes the importance of:

• A. Unquestioning belief in established theories and models.
• B. Dogmatically adhering to the opinions of prominent scientists.
• C. Maintaining an open mind and willingness to consider new evidence.
• D. Prioritizing quick and decisive answers over careful evaluation.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Science is a dynamic process built on continual questioning and refining of understanding. Openness to new evidence and revision of existing theories is crucial for scientific progress.

5. Which of the following is NOT a method for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)?

• A. Handwashing with soap and water
• B. Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
• C. Reusing sterile medical devices
• D. Reusing sterile medical devices

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: Reusing sterile medical devices is not a method for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In fact, reusing sterile medical devices can increase the risk of infections due to inadequate sterilization or potential damage to the devices during the reprocessing process. Proper sterilization and disposal of single-use medical devices are essential in preventing the transmission of infections in healthcare settings. A) Handwashing with soap and water is a crucial method for preventing HAIs as it helps to remove and reduce the number of pathogens on the hands of healthcare workers, preventing the spread of infections. B) Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection is important in preventing the transmission of infections between patients and healthcare workers. C) Reusing sterile medical devices is not a recommended practice as it can lead to the transmission of infections if the devices are not adequately ster

6. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.
