1. If a doctor has an EXEMPLARY record, her work is ______

• A. Ordinary
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Disappointing
• D. Confusing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: An exemplary record signifies work that is praiseworthy, exceptional, or outstanding. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B: Praiseworthy.' Choices 'A: Ordinary,' 'C: Disappointing,' and 'D: Confusing' do not align with the meaning of having an exemplary record and are thus incorrect.

2. What does 'abrupt' mean?

• A. Gradual
• B. Sudden
• C. Delayed
• D. Relaxed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sudden.' Abrupt means something that occurs suddenly, without warning or preparation. It is the opposite of gradual, delayed, or relaxed, which imply a slower or more gentle pace of change or action.

3. What does the word BILATERAL mean?

• A. 2-sided
• B. Straight
• C. Symmetrical
• D. On one side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'bilateral' means having or relating to two sides. It is often used to describe something that occurs on both sides, such as bilateral symmetry in which an object is symmetrical on two sides. Choice B, 'Straight,' does not capture the meaning of bilateral. Choice C, 'Symmetrical,' while related, does not specifically convey the idea of something pertaining to two sides. Choice D, 'On one side,' is the opposite of what bilateral means.

4. A truculent patient is ______?

• A. Passive
• B. Argumentative
• C. Cooperative
• D. Friendly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A truculent patient is characterized by being argumentative or hostile. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B: Argumentative.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a truculent patient is not passive, cooperative, or friendly.

5. What does exogenous mean?

• A. Produced within the body
• B. Produced outside the body
• C. A byproduct
• D. Caused by bacteria

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exogenous means produced outside the body. In this context, 'within the body' (Choice A), 'a byproduct' (Choice C), and 'caused by bacteria' (Choice D) do not accurately define exogenous. The correct definition of exogenous specifically refers to something originating or produced externally.
