1. What does the quoted word 'impervious' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Coping well
• B. Enjoying
• C. Not affected
• D. Very sensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Not affected.' In the context provided, 'impervious' means that the client is not affected by pain. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of 'impervious' in this context. 'Coping well' implies dealing with pain effectively, 'enjoying' does not reflect being unaffected by pain, and 'very sensitive' is the opposite of what 'impervious' means.

2. What is the best description for the term Aseptic?

• A. Sterilized
• B. Purified
• C. Contaminated
• D. Polluted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Purified.' Aseptic means free from contamination or sterile. While 'Sterilized' (choice A) is related to the elimination of all microorganisms, aseptic goes beyond sterilization to ensure freedom from contamination in a broader sense. 'Contaminated' (choice C) and 'Polluted' (choice D) are incorrect as they mean the opposite of aseptic, implying the presence of unwanted or harmful substances.

3. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.

4. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' ADHERE means to stay firmly attached or stick to something. 'Remain intact' (A) implies staying whole or undamaged, 'Loosen' (B) means to make less tight or firm, and 'Position next to' (D) refers to being placed adjacent to something, which do not accurately capture the meaning of ADHERE.

5. What is the meaning of the word 'maladroit' in the sentence: 'Those who are maladroit should not become surgeons'?

• A. Clumsy
• B. Romantic
• C. Untrained
• D. Self-conscious

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Clumsy.' In this context, 'maladroit' means lacking skill or coordination, especially in tasks requiring dexterity and precision. The statement suggests that individuals who are clumsy or awkward should avoid pursuing a career as surgeons. Choice B, 'Romantic,' is incorrect as it does not align with the context provided. Choice C, 'Untrained,' does not capture the essence of clumsiness implied by 'maladroit.' Choice D, 'Self-conscious,' is also incorrect as it does not reflect the intended meaning of lacking skill or coordination.
