Nursing Elites

1. The healthcare provider asked about the patient's CONDITION.

• A. A place in society
• B. Ability to pay
• C. Whereabouts
• D. Physical state

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In a medical setting, when a healthcare provider asks about a patient's 'condition,' they are typically inquiring about the patient's physical state or health status. This encompasses aspects such as vital signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment progress, and overall well-being. 'A place in society,' 'Ability to pay,' and 'Whereabouts' are unrelated to the patient's health status and are not typically what a healthcare provider would ask about in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Physical state,' as it aligns best with the context of healthcare and patient care.

2. What is the emotional state of the man after becoming an invalid?

• A. Dejected
• B. Shamefully fearful
• C. Injured
• D. Symbiotic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dejected. After becoming INVALID, one is likely to feel dejected, meaning sad and disheartened due to feeling invalidated or rejected. It is a common emotional response to a situation where one's worth or validity is questioned or denied. Option B, shamefully fearful, does not directly relate to the emotional state associated with being an invalid. Option C, injured, does not capture the emotional aspect but rather focuses on the physical condition. Option D, symbiotic, refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms and is not relevant to the emotional state of an individual after becoming an invalid.

3. What is the best description for the abbreviation EEG?

• A. A test of brain activity
• B. A medical service
• C. A heartbeat monitor
• D. A specialist in dentistry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'A test of brain activity.' EEG stands for Electroencephalogram, a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. It helps diagnose conditions like epilepsy, seizures, and other brain disorders. Choice B, 'A medical service,' is too broad and does not specifically refer to EEG. Choice C, 'A heartbeat monitor,' is incorrect as EEG does not monitor the heart. Choice D, 'A specialist in dentistry,' is unrelated to the abbreviation EEG.

4. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? 'A sentence must always begin with a capital letter, but many people forget this rule.'

• A. Must always
• B. Simple
• C. Forget
• D. Capitol

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Capitol.' In this context, 'Capitol' is incorrect as it refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The correct term for uppercase letters is 'capital.' Choice A, 'must always,' is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. Choice B, 'simple,' is not the incorrect word in the sentence. Choice C, 'forget,' is also used appropriately in the sentence to indicate the action of neglecting the rule.

5. He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and _____ vegetables.

• A. no
• B. some
• C. little
• D. few

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'no' as it implies the absence of vegetables, indicating that he did not consume any vegetables along with the fried chicken. 'Some' (choice B) implies an unspecified quantity of vegetables were eaten, 'little' (choice C) implies a small amount of vegetables, and 'few' (choice D) is used for countable items, not for uncountable items like vegetables.
