Rationale: In this context, 'holistic' means concerned with the whole person, considering physical, mental, and social factors, rather than just addressing specific symptoms.

The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.
Question 6 of 9
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'.

The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
Question 7 of 9

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'offspring.' Progeny means offspring, so it is the most appropriate term to describe a person's descendants. 'Creditors' (A), 'hereditary disease' (C), and 'health status' (D) do not directly relate to the concept of progeny or offspring in this context.
Question 8 of 9
What is the correct subjunctive verb to complete the sentence? 'If I ___ you, I'd leave now.'

Choice B ('Is') is incorrect because it is not in the subjunctive form. Choice C ('Be') is incorrect as it is the base form and not the correct form for the subjunctive mood. Choice D ('Was') is incorrect as it is the past tense form and not used in the subjunctive mood.
