Question 1 of 5

What does the quoted word 'impervious' mean in the following sentence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Not affected.' In the context provided, 'impervious' means that the client is not affected by pain. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of 'impervious' in this context. 'Coping well' implies dealing with pain effectively, 'enjoying' does not reflect being unaffected by pain, and 'very sensitive' is the opposite of what 'impervious' means.

What does the quoted word 'fundamental' mean in the following sentence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Basic.' In this context, 'fundamental' means basic or essential, referring to the core or foundational dissimilarity between the two medications. Choice A, 'Appropriate,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'fundamental' in this sentence. Choice B, 'Underlying,' is incorrect because although it is related, it does not capture the primary or essential nature of the difference being discussed. Choice C, 'Dosage,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'fundamental' and does not align with the context of the sentence.
