1. _______ having trouble with _______ new dog.

• A. There, their
• B. Their, there
• C. They’re, their
• D. Their, they’re

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct choices are 'They’re' and 'their.' 'They’re' is a contraction of 'they are,' which fits the context of the sentence as it suggests ownership of the dog. 'Their' is a possessive pronoun showing ownership. Choice A is incorrect as 'there' refers to a place and doesn't make sense in this context. Choice B is incorrect as the possessive pronoun 'their' should come before the noun 'dog'. Choice D is incorrect as 'they’re' should be used before the verb 'having trouble' to form a contraction for 'they are'.

2. A note in the patients' medical record states anticipatory grieving, which patient situations below explains this type of grieving?

• A. A patient who has just given birth to twins following a long labor
• B. A patient who will have their left leg amputated below the knee tomorrow
• C. A patient experiencing pain during a physical therapy session
• D. A patient who will be discharged tomorrow after two months of being hospitalized

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Anticipatory grieving occurs when an individual experiences the emotional response to the anticipated loss before it occurs. In this case, the patient who will have their left leg amputated below the knee tomorrow is facing a significant loss and is likely to be experiencing anticipatory grieving. This situation involves anticipating the physical and emotional challenges that will come with the loss of a body part, leading to emotional distress and grief before the actual amputation takes place. Choices A, C, and D do not involve an impending significant loss that would typically trigger anticipatory grieving. Giving birth, experiencing pain during physical therapy, and being discharged from the hospital, while potentially stressful situations, do not inherently involve the anticipation of a significant loss.

3. A patient who is heedless is ___________.

• A. unlucky
• B. careless
• C. no longer in care
• D. hard of hearing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Someone who is heedless is not paying attention or being cautious. Therefore, a patient who is heedless can be described as careless, as they may not be taking proper care or paying attention to important things that affect their well-being. Choice A, 'unlucky,' is incorrect as being heedless is not related to luck. Choice C, 'no longer in care,' is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the meaning of heedless. Choice D, 'hard of hearing,' is unrelated to the concept of being heedless.

4. Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

• A. supplement
• B. complement
• C. detriment
• D. acumen

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.

5. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.
