1. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'

2. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'

3. 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.

4. If you give a patient medication BID, you give it ___________.

• A. as needed
• B. every two hours
• C. twice daily
• D. with food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: BID stands for 'bis in die' in Latin, which translates to 'twice a day' in English. Therefore, when medication is prescribed to be given BID, it should be administered twice daily. Choice A, 'as needed,' does not correspond to a specific dosing frequency like BID. Choice B, 'every two hours,' indicates a different dosing schedule that is more frequent than BID. Choice D, 'with food,' refers to the administration instructions related to meals and is not the correct interpretation of BID.

5. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.
