1. When conducting an interview in an outpatient clinic using a computer to record data, what is the best use of the computer in this situation? Select all that apply.

• A. Collect the patient's data in a direct, face-to-face manner.
• B. Enter all the data as the patient states it.
• C. Ask the patient to wait as the data is entered.
• D. Type the data into the computer after establishing a connection.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A. Collect the patient's data in a direct, face-to-face manner: When conducting an interview in an outpatient clinic, it is essential to engage with the patient face-to-face to establish a rapport, gather their narrative, and ensure accurate data collection. Entering all the data as the patient states it (choice B) may lead to missing important details or misinterpretation. Asking the patient to wait as the data is entered (choice C) can create a disconnect in communication and reduce patient engagement. Typing the data into the computer after establishing a connection (choice D) is not ideal as it is important to collect data actively while interacting with the patient.

2. Why did the author write the passage on Getting a Good Night's Sleep?

• A. To explain insomnia and propose solutions for it.
• B. To entertain readers with sleep trivia.
• C. To persuade people to sleep more.
• D. To inform about the benefits of herbs for sleep.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The author wrote the passage to address the issue of insomnia, offering solutions such as sleep hygiene and non-pharmacological therapies. The passage discusses the challenges of insomnia, its impact on daily life, and emphasizes the importance of seeking help to achieve a good night's sleep. Choice B is incorrect as the passage focuses on a serious topic rather than entertaining with trivia. Choice C is incorrect as the passage does not aim to persuade people to sleep more but to address insomnia specifically. Choice D is incorrect as the passage mentions herbs and spices as part of non-pharmacological therapies for insomnia, not primarily focusing on their benefits.

3. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?

• A. 10cm
• B. 13cm
• C. 40cm^2
• D. 64cm^2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.

4. Which of the following is spelled correctly?

• A. Embarrassing
• B. Embarrasing
• C. Embarrassing
• D. Emberassing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct spelling is 'embarrassing.' It is spelled with two consecutive r's and two consecutive s's. Option C is the only choice with the correct spelling. Options A, B, and D all have incorrect spellings. 'Embarrasing' (Option B) is missing an 'r,' and 'Emberassing' (Option D) has an extra 'e' and a missing 'r' and 's.' Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.

5. Which property of a substance does not change with a change in temperature?

• A. Mass
• B. Volume
• C. Phase
• D. Solubility

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Mass is an intrinsic property of a substance that remains constant regardless of temperature changes. It is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and this quantity does not vary with temperature or the environment in which the substance is located. The conservation of mass in chemistry dictates that mass is neither created nor destroyed, making it independent of temperature variations.\nVolume, on the other hand, changes with temperature due to thermal expansion or contraction. Phase can change with temperature, leading to transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states. Solubility is affected by temperature changes as it influences the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
