Question 1 of 9

What is the description of the word ENVIRONMENT?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the environment refers to the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates, encompassing both internal and external factors. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately define the concept of 'environment.' Choice A is too broad and does not specifically address the components of an environment. Choice B is vague and does not capture the entirety of what an environment entails. Choice D is limited in scope, focusing solely on a home environment rather than the broader concept of environment.

Question 2 of 9

Select the meaning of the following phrase. 'A system of procedures to follow.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Regimen.' 'Regimen' refers to a prescribed set of procedures or a routine, especially related to health. Choice B, 'Regime,' typically refers to a system of government or a ruling period. Choice C, 'Testament,' means a person's will or a statement of belief.

Question 3 of 9

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.

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence.

Choice D, 'Vocab,' is unrelated to the word part placed before a word.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine refers to keeping someone isolated from the general population to prevent the spread of disease. Choice B, 'A specialist's care,' is incorrect as it refers to medical treatment by a specialist, not isolation. Choice C, 'Experimental drug therapy,' is incorrect as it involves the administration of new drugs for research purposes, not isolation. Choice D, 'Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit,' is incorrect as it implies being detained in a rehabilitation facility, not isolation for health reasons.

Question 8 of 9

As the leader of a group, the charge nurse is open to new ideas and thoughts of the group. The charge nurse encourages the group to participate in making decisions. This type of leadership is called:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Democratic.' A 'Democratic' leadership style involves the leader being open to new ideas and thoughts from the group and encourages group participation in decision-making. This style promotes collaboration, communication, and inclusivity in decision-making processes. 'Laissez-faire' leadership is characterized by a hands-off approach with minimal guidance or direction. 'Autocratic' leadership is where the leader makes decisions without much input from the group. 'Direct' leadership is not a widely recognized leadership style in this context.

Question 9 of 9

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.
