1. What is the meaning of Augment?

• A. To decrease
• B. Add to
• C. Eliminate
• D. Diminish

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct meaning of the word 'Augment' is 'to add to something.' Therefore, choice B, 'Add to,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest actions that involve reducing or decreasing something, which is the opposite of augmenting.

2. If a patient is especially obdurate, she is ___________.

• A. very large
• B. quite stubborn
• C. easily upset
• D. ready to go home

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'quite stubborn.' The word 'obdurate' means stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action. Therefore, if a patient is especially obdurate, it indicates that she is likely very stubborn in her behavior or beliefs. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the meaning of 'obdurate.' Being 'very large' (Choice A), 'easily upset' (Choice C), or 'ready to go home' (Choice D) does not directly relate to being stubborn and unwilling to change.

3. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

• A. aid, aide, aide
• B. aide, aid, aid
• C. aid, aide, aid
• D. aide, aid, aide

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

4. What is the term for the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

• A. Prefix
• B. Affix
• C. Suffix
• D. Vocab

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Prefix.' A prefix is a word part that is placed before a root word to modify its meaning. In this case, a prefix changes the meaning of the root word. Choice B, 'Affix,' is a broader term that includes prefixes, suffixes, and infixes. Choice C, 'Suffix,' is a word part placed after a root word to modify its meaning, not before. Choice D, 'Vocab,' is unrelated to the word part placed before a word.

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.
