Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following sentences uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She was going to the store
• B. She was going to the store
• C. She has gone to the store
• D. She gone to the store

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She was going to the store.' This sentence uses the correct form of the past continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing an action in progress in the past. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct verb form. Choice C uses the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action in progress. Choice D is incorrect as it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has' in the sentence structure.

2. The rain will CEASE at sundown.

• A. Decrease
• B. Begin
• C. Stop
• D. Increase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'cease' means to stop or come to an end. In the given sentence, it is implied that the rain will stop at sundown, not decrease, begin, or increase. Therefore, the correct option is 'Stop.' 'Decrease' means to become smaller or less, which doesn't fit the context. 'Begin' means to start, which is the opposite of what is stated. 'Increase' means to become or make greater in amount, which is also contrary to the statement.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'disintegrates' in the following sentence: 'It disintegrates in the mouth within seconds after placement on the tongue, allowing its contents to be swallowed with or without water.'

• A. Evaporates
• B. Fizzes
• C. Deviates
• D. Fragments

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'disintegrates' means to break apart into smaller parts or fragments. In the sentence, it describes the process of the substance breaking down in the mouth. Therefore, the most appropriate meaning is 'Fragments.' 'Evaporates' means to turn into vapor, 'Fizzes' refers to the production of bubbles, and 'Deviates' means to depart from the norm, making them incorrect choices in the context of the sentence.

4. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

5. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.
