Nursing Elites

1. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.

2. The interns observed the CONTOURS of the patients' rash. What does Contours mean?

• A. Color
• B. Shape
• C. Size
• D. Texture

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Shape.' Contours refer to the outline or shape of something. In this context, the interns were observing the shape or outline of the patients' rash, not the color, size, or texture. Colors, sizes, and textures are not typically described as contours, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.

3. Identify the correct sentence structure.

• A. The cat sleeping on the mat
• B. The cat is sleeping on the mat
• C. The mat that the cat is sleeping on
• D. Sleeping on the mat is the cat

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct sentence structure is 'The cat is sleeping on the mat.' This is a complete and grammatically correct sentence following a standard subject-verb-object structure. 'The cat' is the subject, 'is sleeping' is the verb, and 'on the mat' is the prepositional phrase describing where the action is taking place. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A is a sentence fragment lacking a verb; option C is a dependent clause lacking a main clause, and option D has a subject-verb inversion making it awkward and incorrect.

4. If you are at the zenith of your career, you are ___________.

• A. just getting started
• B. preparing for retirement
• C. at the pinnacle of success
• D. having trouble with your superiors

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When someone is at the zenith of their career, it means they have reached the highest point or peak of success in their professional life. This suggests that they have achieved their utmost potential and are enjoying the height of their career accomplishments. Choice A, 'just getting started,' is incorrect as it implies the beginning of a career rather than the peak. Choice B, 'preparing for retirement,' is incorrect because being at the zenith of one's career usually signifies the prime of one's professional success, not the preparation for retirement. Choice D, 'having trouble with your superiors,' is incorrect as it is unrelated to the concept of reaching the peak of success in one's career.

5. The nurse assisted the physician in removing the 'cast' from the patient's arm.

• A. Protective device
• B. Medicated sleeve
• C. Sling
• D. Bandage

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Protective device.' A 'cast' is a hard protective device used to support and immobilize a broken bone. It is not a 'medicated sleeve' (B), a 'sling' (C), or a 'bandage' (D), as these items serve different purposes in medical care.
