1. What is the meaning of 'Exemplary'?

• A. Disappointing
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Ordinary
• D. Unacceptable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Praiseworthy.' Exemplary is used to describe something that is commendable, outstanding, or worthy of praise. Therefore, the meaning of 'Exemplary' is praiseworthy, not disappointing, ordinary, or unacceptable. Choice A is incorrect because 'Disappointing' is the opposite of 'Exemplary.' Choice C is incorrect as 'Ordinary' does not reflect the exceptional nature of 'Exemplary.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Unacceptable' is the opposite meaning of 'Exemplary.'

2. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ______.

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Industrious.' Assiduous means showing great care and perseverance in your work, which aligns with being industrious. Choice A, 'Lazy,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of assiduous. Choice C, 'Inconsistent,' does not directly relate to being assiduous, and choice D, 'Procrastinating,' suggests delaying tasks which is contrary to being assiduous.

3. Based on the principles of asepsis, the nurse should consider a sterile packet below waist level to be _____.

• A. contaminated
• B. sterilized
• C. clean
• D. untouched

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In aseptic techniques, maintaining the sterility of items is crucial. Placing a sterile packet below waist level exposes it to potential contamination from non-sterile surfaces or objects. Therefore, the correct term to describe the sterile packet in this situation is 'contaminated.' 'Sterilized' (choice B) is incorrect as it implies the packet has undergone a sterilization process, which may not be the case if it is now considered contaminated. 'Clean' (choice C) is incorrect because although the packet was initially sterile, placing it below waist level compromises its cleanliness. 'Untouched' (choice D) is incorrect as the packet has been touched or exposed to non-sterile areas, leading to potential contamination.

4. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.

5. 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.
