1. What is the definition of Bilateral?

• A. Occurring on one side
• B. Present on two sides
• C. Occurring in random areas
• D. Not occurring

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of bilateral is something that is present on two sides. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions or procedures that affect or involve both sides of a particular part of the body. Choice A, 'Occurring on one side,' is incorrect because bilateral refers to both sides, not just one. Choice C, 'Occurring in random areas,' is incorrect as bilateral specifically means on two sides, not random areas. Choice D, 'Not occurring,' is also incorrect as bilateral refers to something present on two sides, not the absence of occurrence.

2. Did the interns contravene the doctor's orders?

• A. Follow
• B. Disregard
• C. Exceed
• D. Respect

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Disregard.' Contravene means to violate or disregard rules or orders. In this context, the question is asking whether the interns went against or disobeyed the doctor's orders. Choices 'A: Follow,' 'C: Exceed,' and 'D: Respect' do not align with the meaning of contravene in this context. Following, exceeding, or respecting the doctor's orders would mean the interns did not contravene them.

3. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

4. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

5. What does Milieu mean?

• A. A person's background
• B. The environmental condition or setting
• C. A person's history
• D. The chemical composition

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The environmental condition or setting.' Milieu refers to the surroundings or environment in which a person lives or operates. Choice A ('A person's background') is incorrect as it refers more to someone's personal history rather than the external environment. Choice C ('A person's history') is also incorrect as it specifically relates to an individual's past events and experiences. Choice D ('The chemical composition') is unrelated to the meaning of milieu, which pertains to the physical or social setting.
