1. In the address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' which word is the salutation?

• A. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
• B. 20003 (Area code)
• C. Ryan
• D. Mr.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Mr.' The salutation is the formal title used before a person's name, which in this case is 'Mr.' Other choices are incorrect as '1600 Pennsylvania Ave.' is the street address, '20003' is the zip code, and 'Ryan' is the recipient's name.

2. 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.

3. Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?

• A. Because he did not examine the patient, the healthcare provider prescribed her with the wrong medication.
• B. The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.
• C. The dietician, through negligence, made a mistake with the diet plan.
• D. Since the child was feeling ill, the nurse sent him home.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B is incorrect due to the use of 'than' instead of 'then.' The correct word in this context is 'then' to indicate the order of actions. Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct. In choice A, the sentence structure is correct with a clear cause-effect relationship. Choice C is grammatically sound, describing the dietician's mistake. Choice D is also grammatically correct, showing a cause (the child feeling ill) leading to an effect (the nurse sending him home).

4. What is the term for the lower surface of a structure?

• A. Inferior
• B. Transverse
• C. Dorsal
• D. Ventral

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Ventral' because it specifically refers to the lower surface of a structure. 'Inferior' means below in position, 'Transverse' means situated across something, and 'Dorsal' refers to the upper side or back of a structure, making them incorrect in the context of the lower surface of a structure.

5. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The patient will need to undergo additional testing.

• A. Fail
• B. Offer
• C. Experience
• D. Succumb

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, the word 'undergo' means to experience or go through a process. When someone undergoes something, it implies they are subjected to it or experiencing it. Therefore, in the sentence provided, 'experience' is the correct meaning. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the idea of going through a process or experiencing something.
