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. What is the meaning of the word 'insidious' in the sentence 'The 'insidious' disease was well established before becoming apparent'?

• A. Sudden
• B. Suffer
• C. Gradual
• D. Graduate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Gradual.' In the context provided, 'insidious' describes a disease that develops slowly and harmfully over time, without being easily noticed. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Sudden' (choice A) means something happening quickly or unexpectedly, 'Suffer' (choice B) means to experience pain or hardship, and 'Graduate' (choice D) means to successfully complete a process or course of study, none of which capture the intended meaning of 'insidious' in this context.

3. What is Hydration?

• A. The process of dehydrating
• B. Maintenance of body fluid
• C. Loss of water
• D. Draining fluids

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hydration refers to the maintenance of body fluids. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the opposite process, dehydration. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on the result of inadequate hydration rather than the concept itself. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately define hydration but rather implies removing fluids.

4. What is another word for elated?

• A. Edified
• B. Confused
• C. Flabbergasted
• D. Delighted

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'elated' means to be ecstatically happy or joyful. Similarly, 'delighted' also means to be extremely pleased or filled with joy. Therefore, 'delighted' is another word that could be used to express the same meaning as 'elated.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Edified' means to instruct or enlighten, 'confused' means to be unclear or bewildered, and 'flabbergasted' means to be astonished or amazed, which do not convey the same meaning as 'elated.'

5. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'The men and women of the graduating class ___ their caps in the air.'

• A. Thorough
• B. Through
• C. Threw
• D. Throwing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Threw.' In this sentence, we need the past tense form of the verb 'throw' to show the action that occurred. Therefore, 'threw' is the correct choice. 'Thorough' (choice A) means complete or exhaustive, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. 'Through' (choice B) is a preposition or an adverb, not the correct verb form. 'Throwing' (choice D) is the present participle form and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.
