1. If a pharmacy is in compliance, it __________.

• A. shows flexibility
• B. receives criticism
• C. meets requirements
• D. has been disciplined

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a pharmacy is in compliance, it means that it is meeting all the necessary requirements in terms of regulations, standards, and guidelines. Compliance indicates that the pharmacy is following the established rules and procedures to ensure the safety and quality of its services, products, and operations. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because compliance does not imply flexibility, criticism, or discipline; rather, it signifies adherence to set regulations and standards.

2. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).

3. Choose the meaning of the word rationale in the following sentence: "Step-by-step, the doctor explained the rationale for the treatment."

• A. Reasoning
• B. Prescription
• C. Procedure
• D. Necessity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Corrected Question: In this context, the word 'rationale' refers to the underlying reasoning or justification for the treatment being explained step-by-step by the doctor. It pertains to the logical basis or thought process behind the chosen course of action. 'Prescription' (Choice B), 'Procedure' (Choice C), and 'Necessity' (Choice D) do not accurately capture the meaning of 'rationale' in the sentence provided.

4. An enervated patient is ___________.

• A. anxious
• B. immature
• C. tired
• D. frightened

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Enervated refers to being weakened or lacking energy, so an enervated patient would likely be fatigued or tired. This term does not specifically imply anxiety, immaturity, or fear, making 'tired' the most suitable choice in this context. 'Anxious' (choice A) means feeling nervous or worried, which is not directly related to being enervated. 'Immature' (choice B) refers to lacking maturity or development, which is unrelated to the patient's energy level. 'Frightened' (choice D) means feeling afraid or scared, which is not necessarily connected to being enervated.

5. What does the word UBIQUITOUS mean?

• A. Widespread
• B. Miniscule
• C. Invalid
• D. Unit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word UBIQUITOUS means something that is found everywhere or is very common. Therefore, the correct meaning for ubiquitous is 'widespread'. 'Miniscule' means very small, 'invalid' means not valid or acceptable, and 'unit' refers to a single entity or component, making them incorrect choices in the context of the word ubiquitous.
