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 is a Contraindication?

• A. A reason to perform an action
• B. A reason something should not be done
• C. A warning of a possible side effect
• D. A reason something is advised

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A contraindication is a specific situation in which a drug, procedure, or treatment should not be used because it may be harmful. Choice A is incorrect because a contraindication advises against performing an action. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to a precaution regarding side effects rather than a reason not to proceed. Choice D is incorrect because a contraindication does not advise the use of something.

3. Choose the meaning of the word intact in the following sentence: 'The capsule remains intact even when placed in water.'

• A. Viable
• B. Operational
• C. Tinted
• D. Whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'intact' is synonymous with 'whole,' meaning that the capsule remains undamaged or complete even when placed in water. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Viable' means capable of working successfully, 'operational' means in working order, and 'tinted' means slightly colored.

4. Select the word that means 'an undesired problem that is the result of some other event.'

• A. Complication
• B. Complement
• C. Procedures
• D. Implemented

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Complication.' A complication refers to a secondary issue or difficulty that arises unexpectedly due to another event. It represents an undesired outcome. Choice 'B: Complement' is incorrect as it means something that enhances or completes, not an undesired problem. Choice 'C: Procedures' is incorrect as it refers to methods or steps, not an undesired problem. Choice 'D: Implemented' is incorrect as it means carried out, not an undesired problem.

5. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Hiding it
• B. Broadcasting it
• C. Destroying it
• D. Withholding it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' Disseminating information means spreading or sharing it widely to reach a broader audience. Choice A, 'Hiding it,' is incorrect as disseminating involves making information known, not concealing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as disseminating means to distribute, not to eliminate. Choice D, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect because withholding information means keeping it back rather than sharing it openly.
