1. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.

2. A blood vessel that is distended is ___________.

• A. overturned
• B. swollen
• C. twisted
• D. overlong

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A blood vessel that is distended is swollen. Distention refers to the state of being stretched beyond normal limits, which can cause the blood vessel to expand and swell. The term 'distended' is often used to describe blood vessels that are enlarged or swollen due to various reasons such as increased blood pressure or blockages. Choice A, 'overturned,' does not relate to the enlargement or swelling of a blood vessel. Choice C, 'twisted,' describes a different condition where the blood vessel is coiled or rotated, not necessarily enlarged. Choice D, 'overlong,' does not accurately describe the state of a distended blood vessel; instead, it implies excessive length rather than enlargement.

3. If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, what are they doing?

• A. Modeling
• B. Inquiring
• C. Positioning
• D. Pretending

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If illegal operators are posing as licensed pharmacists, they are pretending to be licensed pharmacists when they are not. This deceptive behavior is misleading and potentially dangerous for consumers seeking legitimate medical advice and products. Choice A, modeling, implies imitating behavior or appearance, which is not the case here. Choice B, inquiring, suggests seeking information or asking questions, which is not the correct behavior in this context. Choice C, positioning, refers to arranging or placing things in a particular way, which is not relevant to the situation described in the question.

4. What does Abstain mean?

• A. To voluntarily refrain from something
• B. To consume something
• C. To eat
• D. To encourage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'To voluntarily refrain from something.' Abstain means to choose not to do or have something, especially something you like or enjoy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because abstain does not mean to consume something, to eat, or to encourage. It specifically refers to the act of voluntarily refraining from an action or practice.

5. What does Elevate mean?

• A. To lower
• B. To lift up or place in a higher position
• C. To flatten
• D. To remove

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To lift up or place in a higher position.' Elevate means to raise something to a higher level or position. Choice A, 'To lower,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of elevate. Choice C, 'To flatten,' is incorrect as it means to make something level or smooth, not to raise it. Choice D, 'To remove,' is also incorrect as it means to take something away, not to lift or raise it.
