Nursing Elites

1. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.

2. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

3. What is the term for the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

• A. Prefix
• B. Affix
• C. Suffix
• D. Vocab

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Prefix.' A prefix is a word part that is placed before a root word to modify its meaning. In this case, a prefix changes the meaning of the root word. Choice B, 'Affix,' is a broader term that includes prefixes, suffixes, and infixes. Choice C, 'Suffix,' is a word part placed after a root word to modify its meaning, not before. Choice D, 'Vocab,' is unrelated to the word part placed before a word.

4. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is surveillance. Surveillance refers to the close observation of a person, group, or place, especially in a secret or discreet manner. It involves monitoring and watching over someone or something closely for a specific purpose. Therefore, the word 'surveillance' is the most suitable synonym for under observation in this context. Choice A, 'Cognition,' refers to the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thoughts, experience, and the senses; it is not synonymous with under observation. Choice B, 'Isolation,' means the process or fact of isolating or being isolated, which does not convey the idea of close monitoring. Choice D, 'Assessment,' involves evaluating or judging the nature, ability, or quality of something, which is different from the act of observing closely.

5. Which word is NOT CORRECTLY USED in the sentence? Confidentiality should be observed at all times, so the nurse should not discuss clients when the conversation can be overheard.

• A. Be observed
• B. By
• C. Can be
• D. Should not

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. In the sentence, 'be observed' should be changed to 'should be observed' for proper grammar. 'Should be observed' is the correct way to indicate the necessity of maintaining confidentiality. Choice B, 'by,' is used correctly as a preposition. Choice C, 'can be,' is also used correctly in the sentence. Choice D, 'should not,' is correctly used to indicate what the nurse ought not to do.
