1. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. What is the prognosis for those accident victims?

• A. Expected outcome
• B. Treatment option
• C. Fabrication
• D. Fabrication

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'prognosis' refers to the expected outcome or forecast for the accident victims. It indicates what is likely to happen in terms of their recovery or overall condition following the accident. Therefore, the correct meaning of the underlined word is the expected outcome, which is option A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'prognosis' does not refer to a treatment option or fabrication.

2. What is the definition of adverse?

• A. Desirable
• B. Undesired, possibly harmful
• C. Beneficial
• D. Neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'adverse' is used to describe something that is unfavorable, unwanted, or potentially harmful. This makes choice B, 'Undesired, possibly harmful,' the correct definition. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe positive (desirable, beneficial) or neutral characteristics, which are the opposite of what 'adverse' means.

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. Another word for CONTEMPLATING is?

• A. Impasse
• B. Impartial
• C. Pondering
• D. Emending

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Pondering" is another word for contemplating because it means to think about something carefully or thoroughly. Both terms imply deep reflection or consideration of a subject or idea. Therefore, "pondering" best captures the meaning of contemplating among the given choices.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'occluded' in the sentence: 'The patient had an occluded artery.'

• A. Obstructed
• B. Open
• C. Broken
• D. Cloudy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Occluded' means blocked or obstructed, making 'Obstructed' the correct answer. In the context of a patient having an occluded artery, it implies that the artery is blocked. The other options, 'Open,' 'Broken,' and 'Cloudy,' do not accurately describe a blocked artery.
