Nursing Elites

1. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

2. What is the meaning of venal?

• A. Vibrant
• B. Savage
• C. Greedy
• D. Fortunate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'venal' means susceptible to corruption, especially by bribery. It is often used to describe individuals who are willing to do dishonest or immoral acts in exchange for money or favors. Therefore, the most appropriate synonym for 'venal' among the given choices is 'greedy.' 'Vibrant' means full of energy and life, 'savage' refers to fierce or violent behavior, and 'fortunate' means having good luck or being favored by fortune, none of which capture the meaning of 'venal.'

3. Select the meaning of the word 'initial' in the sentence: 'The doctor made an initial examination of the patient.'

• A. Complete
• B. First
• C. Incomplete
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'initial' means 'first,' referring to the first examination conducted by the doctor. The initial examination is the first assessment or evaluation performed on the patient. Therefore, 'first' is the correct meaning in this sentence. 'Complete' (choice A) is incorrect as initial does not imply completeness, 'incomplete' (choice C) is incorrect as initial does not mean unfinished, and 'discharge' (choice D) is unrelated to the concept of an initial examination.

4. What does Vacuous mean?

• A. Empty
• B. Full
• C. Dense
• D. Bright

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Empty.' Vacuous means lacking intelligence, empty-headed, or devoid of substance. Choice B, 'Full,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of vacuous. Choice C, 'Dense,' means closely compacted or stupid, not vacuous. Choice D, 'Bright,' means giving out or reflecting a lot of light, not vacuous.

5. What is tepid bathwater?

• A. Water that is salty
• B. Water that is lukewarm
• C. Water that is icy
• D. Water that is half-full

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Tepid bathwater refers to water that is neither too hot nor too cold, but rather lukewarm in temperature. It is a comfortable and soothing temperature for bathing or soaking. Choice A is incorrect because tepid water is not salty. Choice C is incorrect because icy water is cold, not tepid. Choice D is incorrect as half-full refers to the quantity of water, not its temperature.
