Nursing Elites

1. A patient who is lethargic may seem _______

• A. Energetic
• B. Exhausted
• C. Restless
• D. Hyperactive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish or lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic. Choice C, 'Restless,' implies a different state of agitation than lethargy. Choice D, 'Hyperactive,' describes excessive activity, which contrasts with the lethargic state.

2. Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

• A. She
• B. From
• C. Would
• D. Her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

3. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

4. The nurse assisted the physician in removing the 'cast' from the patient's arm.

• A. Protective device
• B. Medicated sleeve
• C. Sling
• D. Bandage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Protective device.' A 'cast' is a hard protective device used to support and immobilize a broken bone. It is not a 'medicated sleeve' (B), a 'sling' (C), or a 'bandage' (D), as these items serve different purposes in medical care.

5. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct
• B. Official Standards
• C. Personal Guidelines
• D. Suggestions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Regulations refer to rules or directives established by authorities to govern conduct or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 'Rules for Conduct.' Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.
