Nursing Elites

1. The nurse asked the patient to choose the items from the menu that are his _____.

• A. favorites
• B. selections
• C. preferences
• D. choices

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'favorites.' In this context, 'favorites' best describes the patient's personal preferences from the menu. The nurse is asking the patient to select the items they like the most. While 'selections' and 'choices' could also work in this context, 'favorites' specifically highlights the items the patient prefers above all others. 'Preferences' is not as fitting as 'favorites' because it generally refers to a broader range of likes and dislikes rather than specific favorite items.

2. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

3. The _____ of this weather was that we all got wet.

• A. result
• B. effect
• C. affect
• D. impact

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'effect' is the correct term to use as it refers to the outcome or consequence of the weather, which was that everyone got wet. 'Effect' is a noun that indicates the result of a particular action or situation. Choice A 'result' is incorrect because it refers to the outcome of an action, not the outcome of weather. Choice C 'affect' is incorrect as it is used as a verb to show influence or make a difference. Choice D 'impact' is incorrect because it refers to a strong influence or effect.

4. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

5. Which sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error?

• A. The group of students is very smart
• B. The team of players is winning
• C. The list of items is on the table
• D. The pile of books is heavy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: The team of players is winning.' The error in this sentence is a subject-verb agreement issue. 'Team' is a singular noun, so it should take a singular verb 'is' instead of 'are.' The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, while plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. Choices A, C, and D all demonstrate correct subject-verb agreement as they correctly match singular subjects ('group,' 'list,' 'pile') with singular verbs ('is,' 'is,' 'is').
