Nursing Elites

1. To implement something is to:

• A. prevent it from occurring
• B. emphasize the importance of
• C. cause it to happen
• D. follow from beginning to end

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'cause it to happen.' 'Implement' means to put something into action or cause it to happen. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the meaning of 'implement.' Preventing something from occurring (Choice A), emphasizing the importance of something (Choice B), and following something from beginning to end (Choice D) are all different actions or concepts that do not align with the definition of 'implement.'

2. What is a mass of tissue formed in the ovary known as?

• A. corpus delicti
• B. corpus luteum
• C. corpus striatum
• D. corpus callosum

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A mass of tissue formed in the ovary is known as the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure involved in the production of progesterone, which is essential for preparing and maintaining the uterus for pregnancy. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Corpus delicti refers to the body of a crime, corpus striatum is a part of the brain, and corpus callosum is a structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

3. What does 'External' refer to?

• A. Inside the body
• B. Located outside the body
• C. Exposed internally
• D. Near the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'External' refers to something that is located outside the body. In this context, it specifically denotes a position or location that is beyond the confines of the body's boundaries. Choice A is incorrect as 'External' means outside, not inside. Choice C is incorrect as it confuses the internal exposure with external positioning. Choice D is incorrect as 'External' does not necessarily mean near the skin, but rather outside the body.

4. Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."

• A. Brak
• B. Break
• C. Brick
• D. Brake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "Break." In this context, 'break' is the appropriate word as it means to damage or shatter something. The other choices are incorrect: 'Brak' is a misspelling, 'Brick' is unrelated to the context of the sentence, and 'Brake' refers to a device used to slow down or stop movement, which is not relevant to carrying a bottle to the table.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'untoward' in the sentence: 'His untoward actions during the admission process created a problem for the nurse.'

• A. Violent
• B. Casual
• C. Unseemly
• D. Capricious

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Unseemly.' In this context, 'untoward' refers to actions that are improper or inappropriate. Choice A, 'Violent,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of 'untoward' in the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Casual,' is unrelated to the negative connotation of 'untoward.' Choice D, 'Capricious,' suggests unpredictability rather than the negative behavior implied by 'untoward.' Therefore, 'Unseemly' is the most appropriate meaning in this context.
