1. If you give a patient medication BID, you give it ___________.

• A. as needed
• B. every two hours
• C. twice daily
• D. with food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: BID stands for 'bis in die' in Latin, which translates to 'twice a day' in English. Therefore, when medication is prescribed to be given BID, it should be administered twice daily. Choice A, 'as needed,' does not correspond to a specific dosing frequency like BID. Choice B, 'every two hours,' indicates a different dosing schedule that is more frequent than BID. Choice D, 'with food,' refers to the administration instructions related to meals and is not the correct interpretation of BID.

2. What does 'Ingest' mean?

• A. To chew
• B. To swallow for digestion
• C. To spit out
• D. To vomit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To swallow for digestion.' Ingest means to take food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing it. Choice A, 'To chew,' is incorrect as chewing is the act of breaking down food with the teeth. Choice C, 'To spit out,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of ingesting, involving expelling something from the mouth. Choice D, 'To vomit,' is also incorrect as vomiting is forcibly expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth, which is the opposite of ingesting.

3. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

4. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

• A. Refrain
• B. Indulge
• C. Adhere
• D. Eliminate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Refrain is another word for abstain, as both words mean to resist or hold oneself back from doing something. In contrast, indulge (choice B) means to allow oneself to enjoy something freely, making it the opposite of abstain. Adhere (choice C) means to stick to or follow closely, while eliminate (choice D) means to completely remove or get rid of something. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Refrain,' which is a synonym for 'abstain.'

5. What does the term 'Precept' mean?

• A. A rule
• B. A guiding principle
• C. A habit
• D. A punishment

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Precept' refers to a guiding principle rather than just a rule, habit, or punishment. A precept is a general rule or principle guiding behavior, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a precept is more than just a simple rule, habit, or punishment; it encompasses a fundamental guiding principle that influences actions and decisions.
