1. Someone who is Altruistic might also be called ______

• A. Selfish
• B. Charitable
• C. Greedy
• D. Hateful

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Altruistic individuals exhibit selfless concern for others, demonstrating a charitable nature. Therefore, being described as charitable aligns with the trait of altruism. Choice A, 'Selfish,' is the opposite of altruistic as it denotes concern only for oneself. Choice C, 'Greedy,' implies a strong desire for more and is not synonymous with altruism. Choice D, 'Hateful,' suggests a feeling of strong dislike, which is not reflective of altruistic behavior.

2. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'

• A. patient
• B. form
• C. nurse
• D. missing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.

3. The abbreviation YOB on a medical form refers to a patient’s ___________.

• A. weight
• B. ethnicity
• C. symptoms
• D. birthdate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The abbreviation YOB stands for 'Year of Birth.' It is used on medical forms to refer to a patient's birthdate, indicating the year in which the individual was born. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because YOB does not pertain to weight, ethnicity, or symptoms; it specifically relates to the patient's birthdate.

4. What does it mean if a patient is lethargic?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Lethargic means feeling exhausted or sluggish. Being lethargic is the opposite of being active (choice A), confused (choice C), or restless (choice D). When a patient is lethargic, they lack energy and may appear tired or sluggish.

5. If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, what are they doing?

• A. Modeling
• B. Inquiring
• C. Positioning
• D. Pretending

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, they are pretending to be licensed pharmacists when they are not. This deceptive behavior is misleading and potentially dangerous for consumers seeking legitimate medical advice and products. Choice A, modeling, implies imitating behavior or appearance, which is not the case here. Choice B, inquiring, suggests seeking information or asking questions, which is not the correct behavior in this context. Choice C, positioning, refers to arranging or placing things in a particular way, which is not relevant to the situation described in the question.
