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 is the meaning of 'repugnant'?

• A. destructive
• B. selective
• C. collective
• D. offensive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'offensive.' Repugnant means offensive or disgusting. In this context, 'destructive,' 'selective,' and 'collective' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'repugnant,' making them incorrect choices. 'Offensive' is the most appropriate term to describe something that is repugnant.

3. What action describes what a cat, who is clearly scared of a Rottweiler, will do when the dog enters the room?

• A. Cower
• B. Engender
• C. Enhance
• D. Replicate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When a cat cowers, it means the cat is crouching down or trying to make itself look smaller in fear or apprehension of something, in this case, the Rottweiler. Hence, the word 'cower' accurately describes what the cat would do when faced with a Rottweiler entering the room. The other choices are incorrect: 'Engender' means to cause or give rise to, 'Enhance' means to improve or increase the quality or value of something, and 'Replicate' means to duplicate or reproduce something.

4. What does 'Initiate' mean?

• A. To finish
• B. To begin or put into practice
• C. To delay
• D. To stop completely

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To begin or put into practice.' 'Initiate' means to start or commence something. Choice A, 'To finish,' is incorrect because 'Initiate' refers to the beginning of something, not its conclusion. Choice C, 'To delay,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of what 'Initiate' means. Choice D, 'To stop completely,' is also incorrect as it is the opposite of starting or initiating something.

5. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.
