Nursing Elites

1. The mail carrier's job is to put the _____ in every mailbox on the block.

• A. letter
• B. envelope
• C. package
• D. documents

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'envelope.' The mail carrier typically delivers envelopes containing mail to every mailbox on the block. Envelopes are commonly used to protect and contain letters, making them the most suitable choice in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because while the mail carrier may deliver letters, packages, or documents, the most common item placed in mailboxes is an envelope containing mail.

2. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. Quick action kept the disease from permeating the general population.

• A. Conquering
• B. Wounding
• C. Deterring
• D. Infiltrating

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this context, the word 'permeating' indicates the process of spreading throughout or penetrating into. 'Infiltrating' is the most appropriate synonym for this meaning, as it captures the idea of the disease spreading into the general population. 'Conquering' (Choice A) means to overcome or defeat, which is not the meaning in this context. 'Wounding' (Choice B) means to cause injury, which is not relevant to the sentence. 'Deterring' (Choice C) means to discourage or prevent, which does not fit the context of the disease spreading.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

• A. Laws
• B. Limits
• C. Common sense
• D. Structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, 'parameters' refer to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics that dictate the nurse's actions. This term does not directly relate to laws (choice A), common sense (choice C), or structure (choice D) in this context. The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.

4. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Vivisection
• B. Amputation
• C. Evisceration
• D. Augmentation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents, for example, the removal of abdominal contents during certain surgical procedures. Vivisection (A) involves performing experiments on live animals, amputation (B) is the removal of a limb, and augmentation (D) is the process of increasing the size, value, or quality of something. Therefore, in the context of surgical procedures, evisceration best fits the description of removing an organ's contents.

5. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.
