1. Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

• A. Laws
• B. Limits
• C. Common sense
• D. Structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, 'parameters' refer to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics that dictate the nurse's actions.

The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.

2. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports
• B. Exports
• C. Reports
• D. Imports

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The US imports most of its silicone chips from Japan and China, indicating that the silicone chips are being brought into the US from these countries. 'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.

3. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

• A. aid, aide, aide
• B. aide, aid, aid
• C. aid, aide, aid
• D. aide, aid, aide

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

4. What does the word UBIQUITOUS mean?

• A. Widespread
• B. Miniscule
• C. Invalid
• D. Unit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word UBIQUITOUS means something that is found everywhere or is very common. Therefore, the correct meaning for ubiquitous is 'widespread'. 'Miniscule' means very small, 'invalid' means not valid or acceptable, and 'unit' refers to a single entity or component, making them incorrect choices in the context of the word ubiquitous.

5. What does Latent mean?

• A. Easily seen
• B. Present but not active or visible
• C. Quick to react
• D. Actively growing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Present but not active or visible.' Latent refers to something that is existing but not yet developed or manifest. Choice A, 'Easily seen,' is incorrect as latent implies the opposite - not easily seen. Choice C, 'Quick to react,' is incorrect as latent does not imply a quick reaction but rather a hidden or dormant state. Choice D, 'Actively growing,' is incorrect as latent suggests the opposite - not actively growing but rather inactive or concealed.
