Question 2 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'incidence' in the sentence: 'The incidence of smoking has decreased.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'incidence' refers to the rate or frequency at which something happens, specifically the rate of occurrence of smoking. Therefore, 'Occurrence' is the correct answer. Choice A, 'Prestige,' is incorrect as it refers to reputation or esteem. Choice C, 'Glamour,' is also incorrect as it means attractiveness or charm. Choice D, 'Influence,' is not the best fit as it relates more to the capacity to have an effect on someone or something.
Question 3 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'dilation' in the sentence: 'The laboring mother was at 50% dilation.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In the context provided, 'dilation' refers to the widening or opening of the cervix during labor as the woman progresses towards childbirth. Choice A, 'Blood pressure,' is incorrect as dilation does not relate to blood pressure. Choice C, 'Birth process,' is too broad and does not specifically define the term 'dilation.' Choice D, 'Exhumation,' is unrelated and does not fit the context of the sentence.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'PRN' in the sentence: 'The nurse gave the patient a PRN medication.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 'PRN' is a medical abbreviation that stands for 'pro re nata,' meaning 'as needed.' In this context, the medication is given to reduce symptoms as they arise. Choice A, 'Pinpoint,' does not align with the meaning of 'PRN.' Choices B and C, 'Relocate' and 'Eradicate,' are unrelated to the concept of 'as needed' medications.
