Nursing Elites

1. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

• A. aid, aide, aide
• B. aide, aid, aid
• C. aid, aide, aid
• D. aide, aid, aide

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

2. What do contours refer to?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Contours refer to the shape or outline of something. They represent the boundaries or curves that define the outer edges of an object or form. Colors, sizes, and textures do not encompass the concept of contours, making them incorrect choices in this context.

3. What word describes a trip to Hawaii that a vacationer FELT was too short?

• A. Ponderous
• B. Salacious
• C. Ephemeral
• D. Erudite

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'ephemeral' means lasting for a very short time. In this context, a vacationer feeling that their trip to Hawaii was too short implies that they found it to be brief or fleeting, making 'ephemeral' the most suitable choice among the options provided. Ponderous means slow and clumsy; salacious means obscene or lustful; erudite means showing great knowledge or learning. These words do not convey the idea of brevity or shortness, unlike 'ephemeral,' which perfectly fits the scenario described.

4. Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?

• A. We sat out the next dance.
• B. While the band played.
• C. The band played a nice slow song.
• D. Everyone enjoyed the dance.

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'While the band played.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. The other choices (A, C, D) are complete sentences with a subject and a predicate, conveying a complete thought.

5. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
