1. Choose the meaning of the word 'quarantine' in the following sentence: 'The patients are under quarantine until further notice.'

• A. A specialist's care
• B. Experimental drug therapy
• C. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit
• D. Confinement away from the general population

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'quarantine' is used to convey the idea that the patients are isolated or separated from the general population. Quarantine is often implemented to prevent the spread of diseases or infections, and in this context, it implies confinement or isolation to ensure the safety of others. The other choices are incorrect because 'A' refers to specialized medical attention, 'B' refers to a specific medical treatment, and 'C' implies being held against one's will in a rehab facility, none of which capture the meaning of 'quarantine' as used in the sentence provided.

2. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.

3. What does 'Fatal' mean?

• A. Resulting in injury
• B. Resulting in death
• C. Dangerous
• D. Treatable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Resulting in death.' The term 'Fatal' specifically means resulting in death. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Fatal' does not refer to resulting in injury, being dangerous, or being treatable.

4. What does it mean if a patient is lethargic?

• A. Active
• B. Exhausted
• C. Confused
• D. Restless

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Lethargic means feeling exhausted or sluggish. Being lethargic is the opposite of being active (choice A), confused (choice C), or restless (choice D). When a patient is lethargic, they lack energy and may appear tired or sluggish.

5. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.
