1. Where is the posterior part of the body located?

• A. Topmost
• B. Lowermost
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'

2. Select the meaning of the word 'incidence' in the sentence: 'The incidence of smoking has decreased.'

• A. Prestige
• B. Occurrence
• C. Glamour
• D. Influence

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'incidence' refers to the rate or frequency at which something happens, specifically the rate of occurrence of smoking. Therefore, 'Occurrence' is the correct answer. Choice A, 'Prestige,' is incorrect as it refers to reputation or esteem. Choice C, 'Glamour,' is also incorrect as it means attractiveness or charm. Choice D, 'Influence,' is not the best fit as it relates more to the capacity to have an effect on someone or something.

3. What does Flaccid mean?

• A. Rigid
• B. Limp or lacking tone
• C. Tense
• D. Swollen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Limp or lacking tone.' Flaccid refers to something that is lacking firmness or muscle tone. Choice A, 'Rigid,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of flaccid. Choice C, 'Tense,' is also incorrect as it implies stiffness or tightness, which is different from being flaccid. Choice D, 'Swollen,' is unrelated to the meaning of flaccid.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'labile' in the sentence: 'The child developed a labile condition that worried the parents.'

• A. Fevered
• B. Volatile
• C. Stomach
• D. Vision

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Volatile.' In this context, 'labile' means having an unpredictable or changeable condition. Choice A, 'Fevered,' is incorrect as it relates to having a fever, not the intended meaning of 'labile.' Choices C and D, 'Stomach' and 'Vision,' are unrelated to the context of the sentence and do not reflect the meaning of 'labile' as 'volatile.'

5. What is the best description for the term fracture?

• A. Break
• B. Brake
• C. Cut
• D. Cure

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'fracture' refers to a 'break' in the bone. A fracture is a medical condition where there is a crack or break in a bone. 'Brake' refers to a device used to stop or slow down a vehicle. 'Cut' means to make an opening or incision with a sharp tool. 'Cure' means to relieve a person of the symptoms of a disease or condition.
