Nursing Elites

1. What is another word for EXPEDITE?

• A. Transfer
• B. Rush
• C. Cancel
• D. Hold

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rush. To expedite means to accelerate the progress or speed of something, to hasten or facilitate. 'Transfer' (choice A) means to move from one place to another, 'Cancel' (choice C) means to call off, and 'Hold' (choice D) means to keep or detain. Therefore, 'Rush' is the most appropriate synonym for expedite in this context.

2. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

3. What does exogenous mean?

• A. Produced within the body
• B. Produced outside the body
• C. A byproduct
• D. Caused by bacteria

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exogenous means produced outside the body. In this context, 'within the body' (Choice A), 'a byproduct' (Choice C), and 'caused by bacteria' (Choice D) do not accurately define exogenous. The correct definition of exogenous specifically refers to something originating or produced externally.

4. Which word is used incorrectly? 'Which procedure for giving injections was explained thoroughly to the student nurses.'

• A. procedure
• B. was
• C. explained
• D. thoroughly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - was.' In the original question, 'were' is incorrectly used as the verb, which should be singular to match the singular subject 'procedure.' The subject 'procedure' requires the singular form 'was' instead of the plural form 'were.' Choices A, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'mercurial' in the following sentence: 'Due to his mercurial temperament, Justin did not work well with others.'

• A. Continuous
• B. Unpredictable
• C. Mercenary
• D. Miraculous

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'mercurial' in this sentence means unpredictable or prone to sudden changes in mood or behavior. Justin's temperament can be characterized as unpredictable, which is causing him to not work well with others. Choice A, 'Continuous,' does not align with the meaning of 'mercurial' as it implies a steady, uninterrupted flow. Choice C, 'Mercenary,' refers to being primarily motivated by money or reward, which is not the context here. Choice D, 'Miraculous,' means extraordinary or remarkable, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.
