Nursing Elites

1. Where can epithelial tissue be found?

• A. Organ lining
• B. Heart muscle
• C. Tendons
• D. Spinal cord

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Epithelial tissue is primarily found lining the surfaces of organs, such as the skin and the linings of various internal organs like the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and blood vessels. It serves as a protective barrier and helps with absorption and secretion. Heart muscle is made up of cardiac muscle tissue, tendons are primarily composed of dense connective tissue, and the spinal cord is composed of nervous tissue, none of which are classified as epithelial tissue.

2. What is 40% of 150?

• A. 60
• B. 65
• C. 70
• D. 85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 40% of 150, you multiply 150 by 0.40 (which represents 40% in decimal form). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, choice A, 60, is the correct answer. Choice B (65), choice C (70), and choice D (85) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation for finding 40% of 150.

3. What is the correct formula for iron III oxide?

• A. IO
• B. FeS
• C. Fe₂O₃
• D. OFe₂₃

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct formula for iron III oxide is Fe2O3. In this formula, Fe represents iron and O represents oxygen. Iron III oxide consists of two iron (Fe) ions combined with three oxygen (O) ions. Thus, the correct formula is Fe2O3. Choice A (IO) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct combination of iron and oxygen ions. Choice B (FeS) is incorrect as it represents iron sulfide, not iron III oxide. Choice D (OFe₂₃) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct chemical nomenclature for iron III oxide.

4. Balance this equation: Fe + Cl2 → FeCl3

• A. 2Fe + 2Cl2 → 2FeCl3
• B. 2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3
• C. 3Fe + 2Cl2 → 3FeCl3
• D. 3Fe + 3Cl2 → 6FeCl3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the given equation, Fe combines with Cl to form FeCl3. To balance the equation, we need to have the same number of each element on both sides. Since Cl is represented as Cl2 in the equation, we need 3 Cl2 molecules to balance Fe, resulting in 2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3. Choice A is incorrect because it only balances Fe but not Cl2. Choice C is incorrect as it balances Fe but not Cl2. Choice D is incorrect as it balances Fe but overbalances Cl2.

5. Which of the following is NOT a mode of heat transfer between a system and its surroundings?

• A. Conduction
• B. Convection
• C. Radiation
• D. Isothermalization

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Isothermalization is not a mode of heat transfer. The three main modes of heat transfer are conduction (through direct contact), convection (through fluid motion), and radiation (through electromagnetic waves). In this question, choice A, conduction, is not a mode of heat transfer between a system and its surroundings. Conduction refers to heat transfer through direct contact between particles, without the movement of the particles themselves. Therefore, A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent valid modes of heat transfer.
