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 is the meaning of 'Exemplary'?

• A. Disappointing
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Ordinary
• D. Unacceptable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Praiseworthy.' Exemplary is used to describe something that is commendable, outstanding, or worthy of praise. Therefore, the meaning of 'Exemplary' is praiseworthy, not disappointing, ordinary, or unacceptable. Choice A is incorrect because 'Disappointing' is the opposite of 'Exemplary.' Choice C is incorrect as 'Ordinary' does not reflect the exceptional nature of 'Exemplary.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Unacceptable' is the opposite meaning of 'Exemplary.'

3. Choose the meaning of the word "laceration" in the following sentence: "The accident left her with a painful laceration."

• A. Gait
• B. Cut
• C. Headache
• D. Welt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the sentence, "laceration" is referring to a deep cut or tear in the skin. It is often associated with injuries that are caused by sharp objects or trauma. Therefore, the most appropriate meaning of "laceration" in this context is a cut.

4. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and ___.'

• A. Myself
• B. Me
• C. Us
• D. We

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Me.' In this sentence, 'me' is the correct object pronoun to use after the preposition 'to.' 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same person, which is not the case here. 'Us' is the object form of 'we,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, 'Me' is the most suitable choice.

5. He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

• A. that
• B. who
• C. which
• D. whom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to people. 'That' is used for things, 'which' is used for animals or things, and 'whom' is an object pronoun, not needed in this sentence. Therefore, 'who' is the most appropriate choice.
