Nursing Elites

1. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $6
• B. $9
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.

2. Which of the following bones are located in the hand?

• A. fibula
• B. metacarpals
• C. metatarsals
• D. ulna

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, metacarpals. The metacarpals are the bones located in the hand, making up the palm and connecting to the fingers (phalanges) and wrist bones (carpals). The fibula and ulna are located in the leg and arm respectively, while the metatarsals are found in the foot. The axial skeleton consists of bones down the center of the body, including the skull, vertebrae, and ribs, while the appendicular skeleton includes bones of the arms, legs, and their attachments to the axial skeleton.

3. What can one reasonably conclude from the final comment of this passage? 'If he be Mr. Hyde,' he had thought, 'I should be Mr. Seek.'

• A. The speaker is considering changing names.
• B. The speaker is experiencing a determination to find Hyde.
• C. The speaker has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person.
• D. The speaker intends to continue to look for Hyde.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The speaker's final comment indicates a determination to keep looking for Hyde, as he expresses his intention to become 'Mr. Seek' if the other person is indeed 'Mr. Hyde.' This shows that the speaker is persistent in his search for Hyde, as he believes that discovering Hyde's identity could potentially unravel the mystery and clarify his friend's strange behavior. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the final comment does not imply a name change, an identity crisis, or a mistaken search but rather a firm decision to continue seeking out Hyde.

4. In a lesson on mass media, a teacher is showing commercials and analyzing their hidden messages. Which of the following is an example of a commercial that claims professional authority not supported by evidence?

• A. A commercial selling pain relief featuring a professional basketball player who says he uses the product
• B. A commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat
• C. A commercial for a new toy showing footage of children playing happily with it
• D. A commercial for a prepared food with testimonials by real consumers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The commercial for cold medicine narrated by a man in a doctor's coat is the correct answer. This commercial claims professional authority without providing any evidence of the narrator's credentials. While the man may appear to be a doctor with his coat, there is no proof that he is actually a medical professional or that the product is recommended by experts. This lack of evidence can mislead consumers by giving the product an air of legitimacy and credibility without factual support. Choices A, C, and D do not fit the criteria as they involve a professional athlete endorsing a product, children enjoying a toy, and real consumers providing testimonials respectively.

5. Sarah is hosting a brunch for a baby shower and knows that several of the guests are strict vegans. She wants to make sure she prepares certain foods correctly to ensure all her guests have something to eat. In particular, she is looking for recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Which chapter of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter I
• B. Chapter II
• C. Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Chapter II typically focuses on baking and sweet treats, which would likely include recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Sarah should consult this chapter for vegan-friendly versions of these recipes that will cater to her strict vegan guests. Choice A, Chapter I, primarily covers yeast breads, not the specific recipes Sarah is looking for. Choice C, Chapter IV, focuses on elegant, easy entrees, which are not relevant to the sweet treats Sarah wants. Choice D, Chapter V, covers delicious desserts and drinks, but it does not specifically mention the items Sarah is interested in, making it less likely to contain the recipes she needs.
