1. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

2. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.

3. After treatment, his PROGNOSIS was excellent. What does the term PROGNOSIS refer to?

• A. Compliance
• B. Range of motion
• C. Expected outcome
• D. Conclusion

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'PROGNOSIS' refers to the expected outcome or likelihood of recovery after a specific treatment or illness. In this context, the word 'PROGNOSIS' directly relates to the expected outcome following the treatment, making choice C - Expected outcome - the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'Compliance' refers to following instructions, 'Range of motion' relates to the extent of movement in a joint, and 'Conclusion' is a summary or final decision, none of which captures the meaning of 'PROGNOSIS.'

4. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.

5. What is another word for latent?

• A. Flagrant
• B. Dormant
• C. Deceased
• D. Postponed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dormant. Latent and dormant are synonymous and refer to something existing but not currently active or evident. Choice A, 'Flagrant,' means something that is conspicuously offensive, blatant, or glaring, which is the opposite of latent. Choice C, 'Deceased,' means no longer alive, which is unrelated to latent. Choice D, 'Postponed,' means to delay or reschedule to a later time, which is not synonymous with latent.
