Question 1 of 9

Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

Question 2 of 9

Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.

Question 3 of 9

Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.

Question 4 of 9

Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? 'A sentence must always begin with a capital letter, but many people forget this rule.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Capitol.' In this context, 'Capitol' is incorrect as it refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The correct term for uppercase letters is 'capital.' Choice A, 'must always,' is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. Choice B, 'simple,' is not the incorrect word in the sentence. Choice C, 'forget,' is also used appropriately in the sentence to indicate the action of neglecting the rule.

Question 5 of 9

A person who is ravenous is:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "hungry." The term 'ravenous' specifically refers to being extremely hungry or famished. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'ravenous.' Being generous, outspoken, or friendly does not directly relate to the intense hunger implied by the word 'ravenous.'

Question 6 of 9

What does the term 'bilingual' mean in the sentence: 'Being bilingual is an advantage for a nurse'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Able to speak more than one language.' In the context provided, 'bilingual' refers to the ability to speak two languages. This is advantageous for a nurse who may need to communicate with patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of 'bilingual' as the ability to speak multiple languages.

Question 7 of 9

Use the VERB correctly.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Choice D, 'Sherri and her cousin were at the County fair this year,' is the correct answer. 'Sherri and her cousin' is a compound subject, requiring the plural verb 'were' for proper subject-verb agreement. Choices A, B, and C contain subject-verb agreement errors. In Choice A, 'A pitchfork and a halter' is a compound subject and should be followed by the plural verb 'were.' In Choice B, 'a pig, sheep, and horse' is a list of items that should take the plural verb 'are.' Lastly, in Choice C, 'Here are' should be used instead of 'Here is' to match the plural subject 'the cages for the 2 rabbits and 2 chickens.'

Question 8 of 9

Select the meaning of the word 'symmetric' in the sentence: 'The symmetric patterns of scarring were evident on the patient's back.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'symmetric' refers to patterns that correspond or are balanced on both sides, exhibiting symmetry. The scarring on the patient's back displayed a mirrored or corresponding arrangement. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'symmetric' does not mean scabbed, painful, or geometric in this sentence.

Question 9 of 9

Select the correct definition of the word 'prognosis' in the sentence: 'The doctor's prognosis gave the patient reason to feel optimistic.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In the context provided, 'prognosis' refers to a doctor's prediction or statement about the likely outcome of a disease or condition. This makes 'Outcome statement' the correct choice. 'Instructions' (A) are not related to prognosis. 'Estimate' (B) is a rough calculation or approximation, not a prediction of an outcome. 'Behavior' (C) refers to actions, conduct, or manner of an individual, which is not the meaning of 'prognosis' in this sentence.
