1. What does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
• B. Contact
• C. Absorption
• D. Isolation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exposure refers to coming into contact with external elements. Choice A is incorrect as exposure does not imply protection but rather contact. Choice C, absorption, refers to the process of soaking up or taking in something. Choice D, isolation, means being separated or kept apart from others, which is not synonymous with exposure.

2. What is the outer bone in the lower leg called?

• A. fascia
• B. fibrous
• C. filial
• D. fibula

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The outer bone in the lower leg is called the fibula, not fascia, fibrous, or filial. The fibula is a slender bone that runs alongside the larger tibia in the lower leg. While it provides stability and support to leg muscles, its main function is not weight-bearing like the tibia. Therefore, the correct answer is the fibula.

3. The abbreviation LBW on an infant’s chart refers to the baby’s ___________.

• A. genetic makeup
• B. feeding schedule
• C. Babinski response
• D. weight at birth

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The abbreviation LBW stands for 'Low Birth Weight,' which specifically refers to the weight of the infant at birth. It is an important indicator of the baby's health and development, with low birth weight infants often requiring special medical attention and care. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because LBW does not relate to genetic makeup, feeding schedule, or Babinski response; rather, it is a term used to describe infants who are born weighing less than normal, which can have implications for their health and require additional monitoring and support.

4. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

5. Which sentence uses the word 'present' as an adjective?

• A. She gave a present to her friend
• B. She was present at the meeting
• C. She made a present for her friend
• D. The teacher presented the award

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'She was present at the meeting' uses 'present' as an adjective. In this context, 'present' describes her state of being at the meeting. The other choices use 'present' as a verb (to give), a noun (a gift), and a verb (to show), making them incorrect in the context of looking for the adjective use of 'present'.
