Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B) Made worse.' Exacerbated means to make a condition more severe or intense. Therefore, if a symptom is exacerbated, it is getting worse, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or ameliorated (choice D), which means to improve or make better.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'distended' means swollen or enlarged. In this context, when the patient's veins are described as distended, it implies that they are expanded or swollen beyond their normal size, which can be a cause for worry due to potential health implications. Choice A ('Bleeding') is incorrect as 'distended' does not refer to bleeding but rather to being swollen. Choice C ('Pressure') is incorrect as 'distended' does not directly imply pressure but rather enlargement. Choice D ('Minuscule') is incorrect as 'distended' means the opposite of minuscule, indicating something enlarged or swollen.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Gravid' means being pregnant or expecting a child. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A, 'Thin,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the term Gravid. Choice C, 'Infected,' is also incorrect as it is not a relevant description of the term. Choice D, 'Healing,' is unrelated to the term Gravid and is therefore incorrect.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The homework was completed by the student.' This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject (homework) is being acted upon by the student. In passive voice constructions, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. Choices B, C, and D are in active voice where the subject performs the action. In choice B, 'The student completed the homework,' the subject (student) is the one performing the action of completing the homework.
