1. What does 'inflamed' mean?

• A. Healthy and normal
• B. Reddened, swollen, and often tender
• C. Discolored but not swollen
• D. Hard and stiff

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'inflamed' means being red, swollen, and often tender. It is a common response of the body to injury or infection, involving increased blood flow and immune cell activity. Choice A is incorrect because 'inflamed' does not describe a state of being healthy and normal. Choice C is incorrect as it only mentions discoloration without the characteristic swelling. Choice D is incorrect as 'inflamed' does not imply being hard and stiff.

2. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'

3. What does the term 'residual' refer to in the following sentence? The nurse was asked to record the residual urine in the patient's bladder.

• A. Measurement
• B. What is left
• C. Total volume
• D. Color and clarity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'residual' refers to what is left after the main part has been taken or used. In this context, 'residual urine' specifically means the urine that remains in the bladder after urination. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately capture the meaning of 'residual' in this sentence. 'Measurement' (A) is too general, 'Total volume' (C) does not specifically pertain to what remains, and 'Color and clarity' (D) is unrelated to the concept of what is left.

4. A body part that has atrophied has ______.

• A. Enlarged
• B. Withered
• C. Swollen
• D. Damaged

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Withered.' Atrophied means that a body part has wasted away or decreased in size. 'Enlarged' (Choice A) means to make or become larger, which is the opposite of atrophied. 'Swollen' (Choice C) means to become larger or rounder in size, usually due to fluid retention or inflammation, which is not the same as atrophied. 'Damaged' (Choice D) means harmed or injured, but it does not specifically refer to the wasting away or shrinking of a body part.

5. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.
