1. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Surveillance,' which means 'under observation.' 'Cognition' (A) refers to mental processes, 'Isolation' (B) means being separated from others, and 'Assessment' (D) is the evaluation of something, none of which directly relate to being observed.

2. What does the term 'viscous' mean?

• A. Thick and sticky
• B. Slimy
• C. Watery
• D. Dry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Thick and sticky.' Viscous describes a substance that is thick and sticky, resisting flow easily. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Slimy' implies a slippery, gooey texture; 'Watery' describes a substance with a thin, fluid consistency; and 'Dry' indicates the absence of moisture.

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. Which cranial bone is the ___________?

• A. partial
• B. parietal
• C. pariah
• D. parhelion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. parietal. The parietal bone is one of the eight bones that form the human skull. It is located near the top of the skull and forms the sides and roof of the cranium. The parietal bones come together at the top of the skull in a structure called the sagittal suture. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not refer to any cranial bone. 'Partial' means incomplete, 'pariah' refers to an outcast or social reject, and 'parhelion' is a bright spot appearing on either side of the sun.

5. What does 'Excess' mean?

• A. Less than what is needed or usual
• B. More than what is needed or usual
• C. Equal to the amount needed
• D. Below average

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'More than what is needed or usual.' Excess refers to an amount that surpasses what is required or typical. Choice A is incorrect because 'less than what is needed or usual' is the opposite of excess. Choice C is incorrect as 'equal to the amount needed' does not imply excess. Choice D is incorrect as 'below average' does not capture the essence of excess.
