1. LABILE also means .

• A. Extremely changing
• B. Suicidal
• C. Rapidly changing
• D. With a high fever

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'labile' is used to describe something that is constantly changing or easily altered. Therefore, the best synonym for 'labile' is 'extremely changing.' Choice B, 'suicidal,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of 'labile.' Choice C, 'rapidly changing,' is close but not as precise as 'extremely changing.' Choice D, 'with a high fever,' is completely unrelated to the meaning of 'labile.'

2. Which word names a medicine whose purpose is to induce vomiting?

• A. Laxative
• B. Emetic
• C. Vaccine
• D. Analgesic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Emetic.' An emetic is a medication specifically designed to induce vomiting. This helps the body expel toxic substances or clear the stomach. Choice A, 'Laxative,' aids in relieving constipation by promoting bowel movements, not inducing vomiting. Choice C, 'Vaccine,' is a substance used to stimulate the immune system against specific diseases, not to induce vomiting. Choice D, 'Analgesic,' refers to a medication used to relieve pain, not to induce vomiting. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect in the context of inducing vomiting.

3. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.

4. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

5. Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

• A. Do to
• B. Stay was
• C. Client's
• D. Superinfection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
