Nursing Elites

1. Which sentence is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT?

• A. Because he did not examine the patient, the healthcare provider prescribed her with the wrong medication.
• B. The nurse decided to bathe the client, then trim his nails.
• C. The dietician, through negligence, made a mistake with the diet plan.
• D. Since the child was feeling ill, the nurse sent him home.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Choice B is incorrect due to the use of 'than' instead of 'then.' The correct word in this context is 'then' to indicate the order of actions. Choices A, C, and D are all grammatically correct. In choice A, the sentence structure is correct with a clear cause-effect relationship. Choice C is grammatically sound, describing the dietician's mistake. Choice D is also grammatically correct, showing a cause (the child feeling ill) leading to an effect (the nurse sending him home).

2. What is necessary for active transport through a membrane to take place?

• A. Glucose
• B. Oxygen
• C. Sodium
• D. ATP

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Active transport through a membrane requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides the necessary energy for the transport proteins to move molecules against the concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to higher concentration. This process is essential for maintaining cellular functions and regulating the internal environment of a cell. Glucose, oxygen, and sodium are important molecules involved in various cellular processes, but they are not the primary energy source required for active transport across membranes. Therefore, the correct answer is ATP.

3. What is the meaning of the word exposed as used in the first paragraph about Toxins and Your Health?

• A. Uncovered.
• B. Subjected.
• C. Visible.
• D. Divulged.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the passage, "exposed" means to be subjected to harmful elements. It suggests vulnerability to these toxins, which can lead to serious health issues later in life. The other options do not accurately capture the implications of "exposed" in relation to toxic substances, making B the correct choice.

4. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

5. Which element has an atomic mass greater than that of sodium?

• A. Boron
• B. Oxygen
• C. Fluorine
• D. Silicon

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Silicon has an atomic mass greater than that of sodium. The atomic mass of silicon is approximately 28.0855 u, whereas the atomic mass of sodium is approximately 22.9898 u. Therefore, silicon has a greater atomic mass compared to sodium. Boron, Oxygen, and Fluorine have atomic masses lower than sodium, making them incorrect choices in this context.
