Question 1 of 5
The doctrine of 'Res ipsa loquitor' can be used in favour of the to prove a case of negligence in the law court
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Res ipsa loquitur' (the thing speaks for itself) is a legal doctrine allowing negligence to be inferred when an incident wouldn't occur without it, aiding the plaintiff. 'Plaintiff,' is correct because it shifts the burden to the defendant to explain, as in cases like Byrne v. Boadle (1863), per tort law (e.g., Keeton). 'Defendant,' defends, not benefits. 'Court,' applies the doctrine, not uses it. 'Attorney,' represents, not proves directly. The plaintiff leverages this when evidence is scarce but negligence is obvious (e.g., a surgical tool left inside), making B the accurate answer, rooted in civil litigation principles.
Question 2 of 5
Fire fueled by combustibles such as paper is best extinguished with
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fires fueled by combustibles like paper are Class A fires, best extinguished by cooling and soaking. 'Pressurized water,' is correct because it douses flames and prevents reignition, per fire safety standards (e.g., NFPA). 'Compressed gas,' (e.g., CO2) suits electrical fires (Class E), not paper. 'Liquid soap,' is ineffective and impractical. 'Graphite powder,' is not a standard extinguisher. Water's efficacy on Class A materials—wood, paper—makes A the precise answer, aligned with firefighting protocols.
Question 3 of 5
Characteristics of a good research topic includes all but one of the following
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A good research topic should be clear, measurable, and relational. 'Must have at least one variable,' is correct as the exception because a topic may broadly identify an area without specifying variables initially (e.g., Nurse burnout'), per research design (e.g., Leedy & Ormrod). 'Must state relationship between variables,' ensures focus. 'Must be clear and unambiguous,' aids understanding. 'Variables must be measurable,' ensures testability. Topics can start general, refining variables later, making D the least essential trait.
Question 4 of 5
The skin cells with sensory role are
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tactile cells (Merkel cells) in the skin detect touch and pressure. 'Tactile cells,' is correct, linked to sensory nerve endings, per histology (e.g., Ross & Pawlina). 'Dendritic cells,' are immune-related. 'Keratinocytes,' form the skin barrier, not sensory. 'Melanocytes,' produce pigment. Tactile cells' mechanoreceptor role makes B the accurate answer.
