Nursing Elites

1. Which word in the sentence needs to be corrected for proper grammar?

• A. About it
• B. A
• C. With
• D. Made

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'A' should be corrected to 'an' in the sentence. The sentence should read, 'The nurse made an error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's file.' The article 'an' is used before a noun beginning with a vowel sound, like 'error' in this case. Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct in the sentence and do not need to be altered.

2. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

3. What does it mean if something is distended?

• A. Shrunken
• B. Swollen
• C. Narrow
• D. Flattened

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When something is described as distended, it means that it is swollen or expanded, not shrunken, narrow, or flattened. In a medical context, distention often refers to an abnormal swelling or enlargement of an organ or structure. 'Shrunken' is incorrect as it means reduced in size, 'narrow' is incorrect as it means not wide, and 'flattened' is incorrect as it means pressed or squeezed flat.

4. What does instigate mean?

• A. Deactivate
• B. Activate
• C. Suppress
• D. Evaluate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Activate.' Instigate means to initiate or provoke a particular event or action. Choice A, 'Deactivate,' is incorrect as it means to make something inactive, which is the opposite of instigate. Choice C, 'Suppress,' is incorrect as it means to restrain or prevent something, not to initiate it. Choice D, 'Evaluate,' is incorrect as it means to assess or judge the value or quality of something, not to start or provoke it.

5. A restricted diet is ___________.

• A. low in fat
• B. vegetarian
• C. banned
• D. limited

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A restricted diet is limited in some way, such as reducing the intake of certain foods, food groups, or nutrients. It may involve limitations on quantity, frequency, or types of foods consumed. This restriction could be related to health factors, allergies, sensitivities, ethical reasons, or personal preferences. Choice A, 'low in fat,' is too specific and does not encompass the broad concept of restriction in a diet. Choice B, 'vegetarian,' refers to a specific dietary pattern but does not necessarily indicate restriction. Choice C, 'banned,' is incorrect as it implies a complete prohibition rather than limitation, which is characteristic of a restricted diet.
