Nursing Elites

1. When writing a blog post, consider including:

• A. Long, detailed paragraphs for comprehensive coverage.
• B. Frequent use of emojis and informal slang for a casual tone.
• C. Engaging headlines, subheadings, and bullet points for scannability.
• D. ense academic vocabulary to sound intellectual.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Blog posts require engaging formatting and concise writing for readers who scan and skim. Headlines, subheadings, and bullet points improve readability.

2. Nuclear fission is a process characterized by:

• A. A heavy nucleus capturing a neutron and releasing energy
• B. The fusion of two nuclei to form a heavier element
• C. A lighter element emitting an alpha particle through radioactive decay
• D. An electron being absorbed by the nucleus with the release of a gamma ray

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Nuclear fission is a process characterized by a heavy nucleus capturing a neutron and splitting into smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This differs from nuclear fusion, which involves the merging of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier element. The emission of an alpha particle by a lighter element is a form of radioactive decay, not fission. Absorption of an electron by the nucleus with the release of a gamma ray is not representative of fission reactions. Therefore, option A correctly describes the process of nuclear fission.

3. A new medication claims to reduce allergy symptoms by 90%. A study is conducted where 100 participants with allergies take the medication, and 90 report symptom reduction. Should this be enough evidence to recommend the medication for everyone?

• A. Yes, the study shows clear effectiveness.
• B. No, the sample size is too small.
• C. No, a control group without the medication is needed.
• D. No, long-term effects haven't been studied.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: : Comparing the medication group to a group receiving a placebo (inactive substance) would help isolate the medication's true effect and avoid attributing symptom reduction to other factors.

4. Which word correctly completes the sentence: "He was _____ by the kindness of strangers."

• A. affected
• B. infected
• C. effected
• D. defected

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Effected" means to produce a result or impression, aligning with the emotional impact of the strangers' kindness.

5. What type of particle carries no charge and mediates the strong nuclear force between protons and neutrons?

• A. Electron
• B. Photon
• C. Gluon
• D. Neutrino

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Gluons are the force carriers of the strong nuclear force, holding protons and neutrons together within the nucleus.

6. 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.
