Nursing Elites

1. A constant force is exerted on a stationary object. In this scenario, work is:

• A. Performed
• B. Not performed
• C. Partially performed
• D. Inconclusive without further information

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Work is only done when a force causes displacement. Since the object is stationary, no displacement occurs, and therefore, no work is performed. Choice A is incorrect because work requires both force and displacement. Choice C is incorrect as there is no partial work - work is either done or not done. Choice D is incorrect as the scenario provided is clear - the object is stationary, so no work is being performed.

2. According to the Clausius inequality, for a cyclic process involving heat transfer between a system and its surroundings at a single constant temperature (T), the following inequality must hold true:

• A. There is no relationship between heat transfer and temperature in a cyclic process.
• B. ∫ dQ/T ≥ 0
• C. ∫ Q/T = constant
• D. ∫ dQ/T ≤ 0

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Clausius inequality states that for a cyclic process involving heat transfer at a single constant temperature, the integral of heat transfer divided by temperature (∫ dQ/T) must be less than or equal to zero. This inequality reflects the irreversibility of natural processes. Choice A is incorrect as there is a direct relationship between heat transfer and temperature in the Clausius inequality. Choice B is incorrect because the integral of dQ/T must be less than or equal to zero, not greater than or equal to zero. Choice C is incorrect because the integral of Q/T is not a constant in a cyclic process involving heat transfer at a single constant temperature.

3. As the leader of a group, the charge nurse is open to new ideas and thoughts of the group. The charge nurse encourages the group to participate in making decisions. This type of leadership is called:

• A. Laissez-faire
• B. Autocratic
• C. Democratic
• D. Direct

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Democratic.' A 'Democratic' leadership style involves the leader being open to new ideas and thoughts from the group and encourages group participation in decision-making. This style promotes collaboration, communication, and inclusivity in decision-making processes. 'Laissez-faire' leadership is characterized by a hands-off approach with minimal guidance or direction. 'Autocratic' leadership is where the leader makes decisions without much input from the group. 'Direct' leadership is not a widely recognized leadership style in this context.

4. TO GATHER TOGETHER means to ?

• A. Semblance
• B. Assembly
• C. Appearance
• D. Assemble

Correct answer: D

Rationale: TO GATHER TOGETHER means to bring things or people together in one place. The word "assemble" is synonymous with gathering together and is the most appropriate choice among the given options.

5. To be admitted to the university, he ________ to make an application by May 15.

• A. Has
• B. Have
• C. Might
• D. Should

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Has.' In this sentence, 'he' is singular, so the verb should also be singular. 'Has' is the correct form of the verb for the third-person singular subject 'he.' The verb 'have' is plural and does not agree with the singular subject. 'Might' and 'should' are modal verbs that do not fit the context of the sentence requiring a simple verb form.
