1. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.

2. A blood vessel that is distended is ____

• A. Narrow
• B. Swollen
• C. Flat
• D. Dilated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Swollen.' Distended means swollen or expanded, not narrow (A), flat (C), or dilated (D). When a blood vessel is distended, it is enlarged or swollen due to increased pressure.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

• A. Laws
• B. Limits
• C. Common sense
• D. Structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, 'parameters' refer to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics that dictate the nurse's actions. This term does not directly relate to laws (choice A), common sense (choice C), or structure (choice D) in this context. The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'disregard' in the following sentence: 'He chose to disregard the warnings.'

• A. Have no opinion about
• B. Pay attention to
• C. Care for
• D. Ignore

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct meaning of 'disregard' in the sentence provided is 'to ignore.' When someone disregards something, they are choosing not to pay attention to it or consider it important. Choice A, 'Have no opinion about,' is incorrect as disregard implies actively ignoring something rather than having no opinion. Choice B, 'Pay attention to,' is the opposite of disregard. Choice C, 'Care for,' is also the opposite of disregard, as caring for something implies giving it importance and attention.

5. What is the meaning of Regulations?

• A. Rules for Conduct
• B. Official Standards
• C. Personal Guidelines
• D. Suggestions

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Regulations refer to rules or directives established by authorities to govern conduct or actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 'Rules for Conduct.' Choice B, 'Official Standards,' is incorrect as regulations go beyond just setting standards to include specific rules for behavior. Choice C, 'Personal Guidelines,' is incorrect as regulations are not individualized but are generally applicable rules. Choice D, 'Suggestions,' is incorrect as regulations are mandatory and carry legal weight, unlike suggestions which are optional and not binding.
