Nursing Elites

1. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

2. A patient who is lethargic may seem _____?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Exhausted.' Lethargic describes a state of feeling sluggish, tired, and lacking energy, which aligns with being exhausted. Choice A, 'Energetic,' is the opposite of lethargic and does not fit the description. Choice C, 'Confused,' refers to a state of disorientation rather than physical tiredness. Choice D, 'Restless,' implies a state of agitation or inability to relax, which contrasts with the typical presentation of someone who is lethargic.

3. When a fluid flows past a solid object, a thin layer of fluid adheres to the object's surface due to:

• A. Buoyancy
• B. Bernoulli's principle
• C. Boundary layer effect
• D. Surface tension minimization

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The boundary layer effect occurs when a thin layer of fluid near the surface of a solid adheres to it due to viscosity. This layer experiences a velocity gradient as the fluid farther from the surface moves faster, while the fluid closest to the surface is nearly stationary.

4. Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =

• A. 14.989
• B. 5.226
• C. 15.0
• D. 5.012

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.

5. In an electrically neutral atom, the number of:

• A. Electrons is equal to protons
• B. Protons is equal to neutrons
• C. Neutrons are always greater than protons
• D. Electrons are always less than protons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Electrons carry a negative charge, protons carry a positive charge, and neutrons are neutral. Since the atom is electrically neutral, the positive charge of the protons must balance the negative charge of the electrons, making the numbers of electrons and protons equal. Choice B is incorrect because protons are not equal to neutrons in an atom. Choice C is incorrect because neutrons are not always greater than protons, and choice D is incorrect because electrons are not always less than protons in an atom.
