1. What do contours refer to?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Contours refer to the shape or outline of something. They represent the boundaries or curves that define the outer edges of an object or form. Colors, sizes, and textures do not encompass the concept of contours, making them incorrect choices in this context.

2. 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.

3. He has 3 DISCRETE symptoms, causing the doctor to create an elaborative plan of care.

• A. individual
• B. common
• C. difficult
• D. separate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'discrete' means individually separate and distinct. Therefore, the most appropriate choice to describe the symptoms that are distinct and separate from each other is 'separate' (option D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not convey the specific meaning of the term 'discrete' as separate and distinct.

4. What is the meaning of Absorption?

• A. Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream
• B. Secretion of enzymes into the stomach
• C. Absorption of water from the intestines
• D. Excretion of waste from the body

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Movement of nutrients from the digestive tube into the bloodstream.' Absorption specifically refers to the process where nutrients are taken up by the body from the digestive tract into the bloodstream for utilization. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choice B refers to the secretion of enzymes into the stomach, choice C refers to the absorption of water from the intestines, and choice D refers to the excretion of waste from the body, which are not the definitions of absorption.

5. Which word is used incorrectly? 'I did the work before he asked me to.'

• A. did
• B. work
• C. asked
• D. before

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'did' is correctly used in the sentence to form the past tense of the verb 'do.' In this context, 'did' is the appropriate term. The other words in the sentence, 'work,' 'asked,' and 'before,' are all used correctly and do not represent an incorrect word choice. Therefore, 'did' is the only word that is not used incorrectly in the given sentence.
