1. Which part of the neuron receives incoming signals from other neurons and conducts them toward the cell body?

• A. Axon
• B. Dendrite
• C. Synapse
• D. Myelin sheath

Correct answer: b

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dendrite. Dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons and conduct them toward the cell body. They play a crucial role in communication between neurons by receiving neurotransmitters released from neighboring neurons. Axons transmit signals away from the cell body, synapses are the junctions where neurons communicate with each other, and myelin sheath is a fatty insulation that surrounds and protects axons. Therefore, in this scenario, dendrites are specifically responsible for receiving and conducting incoming signals towards the cell body.

2. Identify the determiner in the following sentence: A few birds chirped happily in the branches of the tall tree.

• A. happily
• B. ranches
• C. few
• D. tree

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Determiners specify the quantity or identity of a noun. "Few" indicates the number of birds.

3. What is the medical term for ingrown hair?

• A. Folliculitis
• B. Hirsutism
• C. Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
• D. Alopecia

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Pseudofolliculitis Barbae.' This term specifically refers to ingrown hairs commonly seen in the beard area. Folliculitis (A) is inflammation of the hair follicles, not necessarily due to ingrown hairs. Hirsutism (B) is excessive hair growth, unrelated to ingrown hairs. Alopecia (D) is hair loss, which is also not related to ingrown hairs. Therefore, 'Pseudofolliculitis Barbae' is the medical term specifically used to describe ingrown hairs in the beard area, making it the correct answer.

4. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.
