Nursing Elites

1. Did the interns contravene the doctor's orders?

• A. Follow
• B. Disregard
• C. Exceed
• D. Respect

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Disregard.' Contravene means to violate or disregard rules or orders. In this context, the question is asking whether the interns went against or disobeyed the doctor's orders. Choices 'A: Follow,' 'C: Exceed,' and 'D: Respect' do not align with the meaning of contravene in this context. Following, exceeding, or respecting the doctor's orders would mean the interns did not contravene them.

2. What does 'Parameter' mean?

• A. A constant variable
• B. A characteristic or constant factor
• C. A measurable limit
• D. A calculated risk

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A characteristic or constant factor.' In the context of systems or experiments, a parameter is a fixed element that influences the behavior or outcome. It is not a variable like in choice A, which can change. Choice C, 'A measurable limit,' is incorrect as a parameter is not necessarily a physical limit but a defining factor. Choice D, 'A calculated risk,' is unrelated to the definition of a parameter.

3. When a body part has atrophied, it has ____?

• A. Enlarged
• B. Withered
• C. Swollen
• D. Damaged

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Withered.' When a body part atrophies, it shrinks or wastes away. This term is associated with a decrease in muscle mass or tissue due to various reasons like lack of use or injury. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because atrophy does not refer to enlargement, swelling, or damage, but rather to wasting away or shrinking.

4. A patient who is Querulous might be guilty of __________

• A. Complaining
• B. Sleeping
• C. Shouting
• D. Crying

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Complaining.' Querulous means to be habitually complaining or whining. It is characterized by a tendency to find fault or raise petty objections. This behavior aligns with the definition of being querulous. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of querulous. Sleeping, shouting, or crying are not behaviors typically associated with being querulous.

5. If a patient’s condition is upgraded, he is ___________.

• A. getting worse
• B. improving in status
• C. released from the hospital
• D. approved for surgery

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When a patient's condition is upgraded, it means that there has been an improvement in their medical status. This change usually indicates that the patient's health is improving or that they are responding well to treatment. Option A, 'getting worse,' is incorrect as an upgrade signifies a positive change. Option C, 'released from the hospital,' does not directly relate to an upgrade in the patient's condition. Option D, 'approved for surgery,' is unrelated to the patient's current medical status and the concept of an upgrade.
