1. Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of ___________.

• A. smell
• B. taste
• C. touch
• D. sight

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of touch when the skin comes into direct contact with irritants or allergens, leading to an inflammatory reaction. This condition is commonly caused by the skin being in contact with items like certain chemicals, fabrics, plants, or metals, resulting in redness, itching, and sometimes blisters. The other choices (smell, taste, sight) do not relate to the cause of contact dermatitis, which specifically involves the skin's direct contact with irritants or allergens.

2. The new manager was easy to get along with. How would you describe the new manager based on this sentence?

• A. Affable (friendly)
• B. Tortuous
• C. Apathetic
• D. Sacrosanct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct choice is A - Affable (friendly). Affable means friendly and easy to get along with, which aligns with the description of the new manager in the sentence. Choice B, Tortuous, means twisting or complicated, which does not describe the manager's demeanor. Choice C, Apathetic, means showing no interest or enthusiasm, which is the opposite of the manager being easy to get along with. Choice D, Sacrosanct, means holy or sacred, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.

3. Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

• A. supplement
• B. complement
• C. detriment
• D. acumen

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.

4. To STANCH a wound is to ____ it.

• A. Expand
• B. Restrict
• C. Release
• D. Avoid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Restrict.' To stanch a wound means to stop or restrict the flow of blood. Choice A, 'Expand,' is incorrect as it means to make something larger. Choice C, 'Release,' is incorrect as it means to set something free. Choice D, 'Avoid,' is incorrect as it means to keep away or prevent something.

5. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.
