Nursing Elites

1. A UTI is likely to involve the ___________.

• A. bones
• B. throat
• C. stomach
• D. bladder

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is likely to involve the bladder. A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection where bacteria enter the bladder and cause inflammation and infection. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a UTI specifically affects the urinary tract system and not the bones, throat, or stomach.

2. Another word for SITE is?

• A. Severity
• B. Location
• C. Fortunate
• D. Appearance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Another word for 'SITE' is 'Location.' In this context, 'site' typically refers to a place or area, making 'Location' the most appropriate synonym among the given choices. Choice A, 'Severity,' does not relate to the meaning of 'site' as a place or area. Choice C, 'Fortunate,' and Choice D, 'Appearance,' are also unrelated to the concept of 'site,' making them incorrect choices.

3. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY? It sure isn't going to rain during the next playoff.

• A. Ain't
• B. During
• C. Sure
• D. Playoff

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Ain't' is not grammatically correct in formal writing or speech; it should be 'isn't.' 'Ain't' is considered slang and is not appropriate for formal contexts. The other choices ('During,' 'Sure,' 'Playoff') are used correctly in the sentence.

4. What does bifurcate mean?

• A. Fold twice
• B. Flower biannually
• C. Divide in two forks
• D. Pierce two openings

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Bifurcate means to divide into two forks or branches. It comes from the Latin word "bi" meaning two and "furca" meaning fork. So, when something bifurcates, it splits into two separate paths or divisions. Choice A, "Fold twice," is incorrect as bifurcate doesn't involve folding. Choice B, "Flower biannually," is unrelated to the meaning of bifurcate. Choice D, "Pierce two openings," is also incorrect as it does not capture the true essence of bifurcate, which is about dividing into two forks or branches.

5. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

• A. Themself
• B. Theirself
• C. Theirselves
• D. Themselves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to 'children' in the plural form. The other options, 'themself,' 'theirself,' and 'theirselves' are not grammatically correct as they do not match the plural subject 'children.'
