1. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.

2. Which word is used incorrectly in the following sentence? That is the doctor whose diploma is hung on the partition.

• A. That
• B. whose
• C. hung
• D. partition

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'whose' in the sentence should be 'whose.' 'Whose' is the correct possessive form used to indicate that the diploma belongs to the doctor. 'Who's' is a contraction for 'who is' or 'who has,' which does not make sense in this context. The other words in the sentence - 'That,' 'hung,' and 'partition' are all used correctly in the sentence.

3. What is the function of hemoglobin in red blood cells?

• A. To fight infections
• B. To transport oxygen
• C. To carry carbon dioxide
• D. To store oxygen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To transport oxygen.' Hemoglobin in red blood cells plays a crucial role in transporting oxygen. It binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the body's tissues and organs for cellular respiration. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because hemoglobin's primary function is to bind and transport oxygen, not to fight infections, carry carbon dioxide, or store oxygen.

4. If a nurse is CIRCUMSPECT with patient records, what is she doing?

• A. Acting carelessly
• B. Guarded
• C. Reckless
• D. Neglecting

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Guarded.' Circumspect means to be cautious or guarded. In this context, being circumspect with patient records implies being careful and cautious in handling them, maintaining confidentiality and privacy. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because circumspect does not mean acting carelessly, reckless, or neglecting; instead, it suggests being watchful and discreet.

5. Which type of sugar is a disaccharide?

• A. Sucrose
• B. Fructose
• C. Glucose

Choice B, Fructose, is a monosaccharide, not a disaccharide. Choice C, Glucose, is also a monosaccharide, not a disaccharide. Choice D, Galactose, is another monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.
