Nursing Elites

1. The physician started to perform the operation, but the patient was not yet completely _____ anesthesia.

• A. under
• B. within
• C. with
• D. over

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'under' as it is commonly used to describe the state of being affected by anesthesia. The patient is 'under' anesthesia, not 'within,' 'with,' or 'over' it. 'Within' typically refers to being inside something, 'with' indicates being accompanied by something, and 'over' suggests being above or on top of something. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, 'under' is the most appropriate choice.

2. What does the term 'bilingual' mean in the sentence: 'Being bilingual is an advantage for a nurse'?

• A. Able to speak more than one language
• B. Able to use either hand
• C. Not squeamish about blood
• D. Can remember everything

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Able to speak more than one language.' In the context provided, 'bilingual' refers to the ability to speak two languages. This is advantageous for a nurse who may need to communicate with patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of 'bilingual' as the ability to speak multiple languages.

3. Which muscle in the shoulder is the deltoid?

• A. dendrite
• B. delphic
• C. deltoid
• D. dentate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The deltoid muscle is located in the shoulder area. It is a rounded, triangular muscle that covers the shoulder joint and is responsible for lifting the arm and providing shoulder stability. The other options provided, dendrite, delphic, and dentate, are not muscles in the shoulder region.

4. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

5. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.
