1. What is the meaning of 'repugnant'?

• A. destructive
• B. selective
• C. collective
• D. offensive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'offensive.' Repugnant means offensive or disgusting. In this context, 'destructive,' 'selective,' and 'collective' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'repugnant,' making them incorrect choices. 'Offensive' is the most appropriate term to describe something that is repugnant.

2. What is another word for 'flux'?

• A. Quantity
• B. Inflation
• C. Strength
• D. Discharge

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Discharge.' 'Flux' is a term used to describe the flow or discharge of fluid. Therefore, 'Discharge' is the most appropriate synonym in this context. The other choices are incorrect: A) 'Quantity' refers to an amount, B) 'Inflation' refers to the rise in prices, and C) 'Strength' refers to the power or quality of being strong.

3. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

4. The patient made a ritualistic arranging of the food on his plate. Which word best describes the patient's repetitive behavior?

• A. Formal
• B. Ritualistic
• C. Formalizing
• D. Ritual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Ritualistic.' This adjective describes actions performed in a habitual or ceremonial manner, which aligns with the context of the patient's repeated arrangement of food. 'Formal' (choice A) does not capture the repetitive nature of the behavior. 'Formalizing' (choice C) refers to the process of making something formal rather than describing repetitive behavior. 'Ritual' (choice D) is a noun and does not best describe the patient's behavior in this context.

5. What is the best description for the abbreviation LDL?

• A. A group of denominations
• B. A type of lipoprotein
• C. Self-care mobility skills

Rationale: The correct answer is B: A type of lipoprotein. LDL stands for Low-density lipoprotein, which is a type of lipoprotein that carries cholesterol through the bloodstream. LDL is often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol because high levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the abbreviation LDL.
