Nursing Elites

1. What does 'expand' mean?

• A. To decrease in size
• B. To increase in size or amount
• C. To spread out
• D. To eliminate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. 'Expand' means to increase in size or amount. Choice A, 'To decrease in size,' is the opposite of what 'expand' means. Choice C, 'To spread out,' is related to expanding but does not precisely define the term. Choice D, 'To eliminate,' is not synonymous with the term 'expand.'

2. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

• A. Their
• B. They're
• C. The're
• D. No contraction used

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'

3. How does being overweight predispose a person to a particular condition?

• A. Cancer
• B. Diabetes
• C. Heart disease
• D. Obesity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Being overweight increases the risk of developing conditions like diabetes. Excessive weight can lead to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, which are key factors in the development of type 2 diabetes. While obesity is a result of being overweight, it is not a condition that being overweight predisposes a person to. Cancer and heart disease can also be influenced by weight but are not the primary conditions typically associated with being overweight.

4. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

5. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.
