Nursing Elites

1. A person who is ravenous is:

• A. generous
• B. outspoken
• C. friendly
• D. hungry

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "hungry." The term 'ravenous' specifically refers to being extremely hungry or famished. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'ravenous.' Being generous, outspoken, or friendly does not directly relate to the intense hunger implied by the word 'ravenous.'

2. What does 'Occluded' mean?

• A. Open
• B. Closed or obstructed
• C. Partially obstructed
• D. Expanded

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Occluded' means something is closed or obstructed, not open as in choice A. It is more than just partially obstructed as in choice C. It does not mean expanded as in choice D. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Closed or obstructed.'

3. What does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
• B. Contact
• C. Absorption
• D. Isolation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exposure refers to coming into contact with external elements. Choice A is incorrect as exposure does not imply protection but rather contact. Choice C, absorption, refers to the process of soaking up or taking in something. Choice D, isolation, means being separated or kept apart from others, which is not synonymous with exposure.

4. What does the word Quarantine mean?

• A. Isolation
• B. Confinement away from the general population
• C. Treatment
• D. Exposure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine is the practice of isolating individuals who may have been exposed to a contagious disease but are not yet ill. This isolation helps prevent the potential spread of the disease. Choice A, 'Isolation,' is partially correct but does not capture the specific aspect of separation from the general population. Choice C, 'Treatment,' is incorrect as quarantine does not involve providing medical care but rather focusing on preventing transmission. Choice D, 'Exposure,' is also incorrect as quarantine is about separating potentially exposed individuals, not intentionally exposing them.

5. In the address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' which word is the salutation?

• A. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
• B. 20003 (Area code)
• C. Ryan
• D. Mr.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Mr.' The salutation is the formal title used before a person's name, which in this case is 'Mr.' Other choices are incorrect as '1600 Pennsylvania Ave.' is the street address, '20003' is the zip code, and 'Ryan' is the recipient's name.
