Nursing Elites

1. A blood vessel that is distended is ____

• A. Narrow
• B. Swollen
• C. Flat
• D. Dilated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Swollen.' Distended means swollen or expanded, not narrow (A), flat (C), or dilated (D). When a blood vessel is distended, it is enlarged or swollen due to increased pressure.

2. An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?

• A. It is equipped with articles
• B. It has just been repainted
• C. The first month’s rent must be paid in advance
• D. The utility bills are included in the rental cost

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month’s rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).

3. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

4. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

5. What is the best description of the word 'insidious'?

• A. stealthy
• B. deadly
• C. collapsed
• D. new

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'stealthy.' 'Insidious' is often used to describe something that proceeds in a gradual, subtle, but harmful way. It is not directly or openly harmful like 'deadly,' nor does it mean 'collapsed' or 'new.' Therefore, 'stealthy' best captures the meaning of 'insidious.'
