1. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The interns observed the contour of the patient’s rash.

• A. Shape
• B. Answers
• C. Amount
• D. Extension

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'contour' refers to the outline or shape of the patient's rash. It indicates the specific form or structure of the rash as observed by the interns. 'Answers,' 'Amount,' and 'Extension' are incorrect choices because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'contour' in this sentence.

2. To implement something is to:

• A. prevent it from occurring
• B. emphasize the importance of
• C. cause it to happen
• D. follow from beginning to end

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'cause it to happen.' 'Implement' means to put something into action or cause it to happen. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the meaning of 'implement.' Preventing something from occurring (Choice A), emphasizing the importance of something (Choice B), and following something from beginning to end (Choice D) are all different actions or concepts that do not align with the definition of 'implement.'

3. What is another word for Asymmetric?

• A. Even
• B. Uneven
• C. Identical
• D. Matching

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Uneven.' Asymmetric means lacking symmetry or being uneven, so the term 'Uneven' is the most appropriate synonym. 'Even' (choice A) means equal or level, which is the opposite of asymmetric. 'Identical' (choice C) means similar or the same, and 'Matching' (choice D) means corresponding or fitting together, neither of which captures the meaning of asymmetric.

4. Medicine that is given in inhalant form is ___________.

• A. dissolved
• B. injected
• C. taken orally
• D. breathed in

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Medicine that is given in inhalant form is intended to be breathed in, typically through the mouth or nose. This allows the medication to reach the lungs directly and be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. Examples of medications given in inhalant form include inhalers used for conditions like asthma and nebulizers for respiratory treatments. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because medicine in inhalant form is not dissolved, injected, or taken orally; instead, it is inhaled to reach the lungs.

5. Another word for ANTICIPATE is?

• A. Predict
• B. Evaluate
• C. Compare
• D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Predict.' Anticipate means to expect or foresee something happening in the future. 'Predict' is a synonym for anticipate as both involve forecasting or making an inference about a future event. 'Evaluate' means to assess or judge something, 'Compare' means to note similarities and differences, and 'Forestall' means to prevent or hinder something. These words do not have the same meaning as 'Anticipate.'
