Question 1 of 5

What does the quoted word 'occluded' mean in the following sentence? The nurse reported that the patient's circulation to that foot was 'occluded'.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked during business hours.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The original sentence is incorrect due to awkward phrasing. Choice D, 'This door will remain unlocked when the business is open,' provides a clear and concise correction, specifying that the door should be unlocked only when the business is open. Choices A and B do not address the timing aspect of unlocking the door, making them incorrect. Choice C is incorrect as the original sentence needs a revision to clarify the intended meaning.

Question 3 of 5

Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: 'Her teacher asked her what would she do after she graduated from nursing school.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The phrase 'what would she do' is incorrect because in English questions, the word order for modal verbs like 'would' should be 'she would do' instead of 'would she do'. The correct structure should be 'her teacher asked her what she would do after she graduated from nursing school.' Choices A, B, and D are used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse assisted the physician in removing the 'cast' from the patient's arm.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 5 of 5

Select the meaning of the quoted word in the sentence. The doctor instructed the patient to keep his head 'elevated'.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Raised.' In this context, 'elevated' means to be lifted or raised up. The doctor's instruction implies keeping the patient's head in an upward position. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Turned' suggests a change in direction, 'still' means without movement, and 'thrown back' implies a forceful backward motion, none of which capture the meaning of 'elevated' in this scenario.
