1. What is the emotional state of the man after becoming an invalid?

• A. Dejected
• B. Shamefully fearful
• C. Injured
• D. Symbiotic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dejected. After becoming INVALID, one is likely to feel dejected, meaning sad and disheartened due to feeling invalidated or rejected. It is a common emotional response to a situation where one's worth or validity is questioned or denied. Option B, shamefully fearful, does not directly relate to the emotional state associated with being an invalid. Option C, injured, does not capture the emotional aspect but rather focuses on the physical condition. Option D, symbiotic, refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms and is not relevant to the emotional state of an individual after becoming an invalid.

2. Another word for CONSISTENCY is?

• A. Appearance
• B. Volatility
• C. Thickness
• D. Color

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Consistency refers to the quality of staying the same in behavior or level. Thickness is a synonym for consistency as it implies a state of being dense, compact, or solid throughout, which aligns with the idea of staying the same. Conversely, appearance, volatility, and color do not directly relate to the concept of consistency. 'Appearance' refers to how something looks, 'volatility' refers to how easily something changes, and 'color' refers to the hue or shade of something, none of which capture the essence of consistency.

3. What is another word for paltry?

• A. Insignificant
• B. Punitive
• C. Prolonged
• D. Economical

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Insignificant.' Paltry and insignificant are synonymous terms that denote something as unimportant, trivial, or of little value. Choice B, 'Punitive,' means inflicting or intended as punishment, which is unrelated to the meaning of paltry. Choice C, 'Prolonged,' means continuing for a long time, which is not a synonym for paltry. Choice D, 'Economical,' means giving good value or service in relation to the amount of money, which is not synonymous with paltry.

4. The charge nurse overheard the nursing assistant discussing the private details of a client's medical condition with a personnel friend in the hospital _____.

• A. cafeteria
• B. office
• C. room
• D. hall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'cafeteria.' Cafeterias are common areas in hospitals where staff may have conversations, but discussing private client details in this public setting is a violation of patient privacy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because an office, room, or hall would be more suitable and private places for discussing sensitive patient information.

5. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.
