Nursing Elites

1. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

2. The hospital accepts a certain quota of 'indigent' patients.

• A. Uninjured
• B. Apathetic
• C. Resentful
• D. Impoverished

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'indigent' refers to people who are poor or impoverished, lacking financial resources. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'Impoverished.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'indigent.' Choice A, 'Uninjured,' is unrelated to financial status. Choice B, 'Apathetic,' means showing no interest or concern, which is irrelevant. Choice C, 'Resentful,' means feeling bitterness or indignation, which is also unrelated to poverty.

3. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

4. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'occluded' in the sentence: 'The patient had an occluded artery.'

• A. Obstructed
• B. Open
• C. Broken
• D. Cloudy

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Occluded' means blocked or obstructed, making 'Obstructed' the correct answer. In the context of a patient having an occluded artery, it implies that the artery is blocked. The other options, 'Open,' 'Broken,' and 'Cloudy,' do not accurately describe a blocked artery.
