1. In the world of pharmaceuticals, a recall policy is a policy involving the ___________.

• A. ability to remember
• B. the withdrawal of products
• C. manufacture of cosmetics
• D. effectiveness of customers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the world of pharmaceuticals, a recall policy is a policy involving the withdrawal of products from the market, typically due to safety concerns, defects, contamination, or other issues that could potentially harm consumers. This process is essential to protect public health and ensure the safety and quality of pharmaceutical products. Choice A, 'ability to remember,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the concept of recalling products in the pharmaceutical industry. Choice C, 'manufacture of cosmetics,' is incorrect as it is unrelated to pharmaceutical recalls. Choice D, 'effectiveness of customers,' is also incorrect as it does not pertain to the purpose of a recall policy in the pharmaceutical field.

2. Which statement indicates that the individual feels EMPATHY for the patient?

• A. I am also new to this town, so I understand how lost he feels here
• B. His symptoms are concerning and need to be addressed immediately
• C. He should follow the treatment plan strictly to get better
• D. I think he is exaggerating his pain to get attention

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'I am also new to this town, so I understand how lost he feels here,' demonstrates empathy towards the patient by showing the ability to relate to and understand the patient's feelings and experiences. Empathy involves understanding and sharing the feelings of another person, which is evident in this statement as the individual acknowledges and connects with the patient's emotional state. Choice B focuses on the urgency of addressing symptoms but lacks the emotional connection present in an empathetic response. Choice C emphasizes following a treatment plan without addressing the patient's emotional state. Choice D displays a lack of empathy by suggesting that the patient is exaggerating their pain for attention, showing a judgmental rather than understanding attitude.

3. What are the soft spots on the head of a newborn called?

• A. Fistula
• B. Fontanel
• C. Follicle
• D. Fissure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fontanel. Fontanels are spaces between the bones of a newborn's skull that allow for brain growth and development. The term 'fistula' (choice A) refers to an abnormal passageway between two organs or between an organ and the body surface, not related to newborn soft spots. 'Follicle' (choice C) is a structure in the skin that contains the hair root, not related to the skull. 'Fissure' (choice D) refers to a narrow opening or crack, which is not the term used for the soft spots on a newborn's head.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'swathe' in the following sentence: Please swathe the baby and take her to the nursery.

• A. Nurse
• B. Cleanse
• C. Change
• D. Wrap

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, the word 'swathe' means to wrap something, usually in cloth or bandages. So the correct meaning of 'swathe' in the sentence is to wrap the baby in cloth. Choice A ('Nurse') is incorrect as it does not relate to the action of wrapping. Choice B ('Cleanse') and Choice C ('Change') are also incorrect as they do not capture the intended meaning of 'swathe' in the sentence.

5. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.
