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 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 is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

4. What is a Nutrient?

• A. A chemical compound
• B. A substance that provides nourishment
• C. A non-essential mineral
• D. An essential vitamin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A nutrient is a substance that provides nourishment to the body, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Choice A has been improved to 'A chemical compound' to be more specific. Choice A is incorrect as it is too general and does not specifically describe the role of a nutrient. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on minerals without specifying that all minerals are nutrients. Choice D is also incorrect as it solely emphasizes vitamins, which are just one type of nutrient.

5. As the leader of a group, the charge nurse is open to new ideas and thoughts of the group. The charge nurse encourages the group to participate in making decisions. This type of leadership is called:

• A. Laissez-faire
• B. Autocratic
• C. Democratic
• D. Direct

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Democratic.' A 'Democratic' leadership style involves the leader being open to new ideas and thoughts from the group and encourages group participation in decision-making. This style promotes collaboration, communication, and inclusivity in decision-making processes. 'Laissez-faire' leadership is characterized by a hands-off approach with minimal guidance or direction. 'Autocratic' leadership is where the leader makes decisions without much input from the group. 'Direct' leadership is not a widely recognized leadership style in this context.
