1. Which sentence uses the word 'present' as an adjective?

• A. She gave a present to her friend
• B. She was present at the meeting
• C. She made a present for her friend
• D. The teacher presented the award

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'She was present at the meeting' uses 'present' as an adjective. In this context, 'present' describes her state of being at the meeting. The other choices use 'present' as a verb (to give), a noun (a gift), and a verb (to show), making them incorrect in the context of looking for the adjective use of 'present'.

2. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.

3. What is another word for CONCAVE?

• A. Sunburned
• B. Convex
• C. Puffed out
• D. Sunken

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Sunken.' Concave refers to a surface or shape that curves inward, while 'sunken' is the closest synonym, also indicating something that is depressed or hollowed inward. Choice 'B: Convex' is incorrect as it is the opposite of concave, representing a shape that bulges outward. Choices 'A: Sunburned' and 'C: Puffed out' do not relate to the concept of concave shapes.

4. Caudal refers to which part of the human torso?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Middle
• D. Front

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Caudal refers to the bottom part of the torso. In anatomical terms, 'caudal' means situated near or toward the tail or the hind part of the body. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe structures closer to the feet or lower part of the body. Therefore, 'Bottom' is the correct answer as it best represents the caudal region. Choices 'Top,' 'Middle,' and 'Front' do not accurately describe the caudal aspect of the human torso.

5. The charge nurse overheard the nursing assistant discussing the private details of a client's medical condition with a personnel friend in the hospital _____.

• A. cafeteria
• B. office
• C. room
• D. hall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'cafeteria.' Cafeterias are common areas in hospitals where staff may have conversations, but discussing private client details in this public setting is a violation of patient privacy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because an office, room, or hall would be more suitable and private places for discussing sensitive patient information.
