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 another word for antidote?

• A. Purity
• B. Habitat
• C. Remedy
• D. Venom

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: What is another word for antidote? Rationale: An antidote is a substance that can counteract the effects of poison or disease. The term 'remedy' is often used synonymously with antidote to indicate a solution or cure for a particular problem or ailment. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of antidote. 'Purity' refers to cleanliness or being free from contaminants, 'Habitat' is the natural environment where an organism lives, and 'Venom' is a poisonous substance typically injected by animals like snakes or insects.

3. What does the word BILATERAL mean?

• A. 2-sided
• B. Straight
• C. Symmetrical
• D. On one side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'bilateral' means having or relating to two sides. It is often used to describe something that occurs on both sides, such as bilateral symmetry in which an object is symmetrical on two sides. Choice B, 'Straight,' does not capture the meaning of bilateral. Choice C, 'Symmetrical,' while related, does not specifically convey the idea of something pertaining to two sides. Choice D, 'On one side,' is the opposite of what bilateral means.

4. What is another word for flux?

• A. Flowing
• B. Restriction
• C. Absorption
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Flux is a term used to describe a discharge, which refers to the action of discharging or releasing something. In medical contexts, flux can specifically refer to a discharge of bodily fluids or matter. 'Flowing' (Choice A) is not a synonym of flux; it implies continuous movement rather than discharge. 'Restriction' (Choice B) and 'Absorption' (Choice C) are unrelated to the concept of flux and do not convey the same meaning.

5. What does exogenous mean?

• A. Produced within the body
• B. Produced outside the body
• C. A byproduct
• D. Caused by bacteria

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exogenous means produced outside the body. In this context, 'within the body' (Choice A), 'a byproduct' (Choice C), and 'caused by bacteria' (Choice D) do not accurately define exogenous. The correct definition of exogenous specifically refers to something originating or produced externally.
