1. Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

• A. She
• B. From
• C. Would
• D. Her

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

2. How many neutrons are in an atom of helium-4?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The atomic number of helium is 2, indicating it has 2 protons. Helium-4, the most common isotope of helium, has 2 neutrons in addition to its 2 protons. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 neutrons in an atom of helium-4. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct composition of helium-4, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

3. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?

• A. 300mg
• B. 600mg
• C. 750mg
• D. 900mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.

4. Which of the following is not part of the central nervous system?

The retina is part of the eye, while the heart is part of the circulatory system. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Spinal cord' as it is not part of the central nervous system.
