Nursing Elites

1. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'

• A. aid, aide, aide
• B. aide, aid, aid
• C. aid, aide, aid
• D. aide, aid, aide

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.

2. What does the quoted word 'fundamental' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Appropriate
• B. Underlying
• C. Dosage
• D. Basic

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Basic.' In this context, 'fundamental' means basic or essential, referring to the core or foundational dissimilarity between the two medications. Choice A, 'Appropriate,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the meaning of 'fundamental' in this sentence. Choice B, 'Underlying,' is incorrect because although it is related, it does not capture the primary or essential nature of the difference being discussed. Choice C, 'Dosage,' is unrelated to the meaning of 'fundamental' and does not align with the context of the sentence.

3. If a treatment mitigates symptoms, the symptoms become ______.

• A. Worse
• B. Less severe
• C. Unchanged
• D. Unbearable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Less severe.' When a treatment mitigates symptoms, it means that it reduces the severity or impact of those symptoms. Therefore, the symptoms would become less severe after the treatment. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because mitigating symptoms does not make them worse, unchanged, or unbearable; instead, it helps alleviate or reduce their intensity.

4. What does the term 'residual' refer to in the following sentence? The nurse was asked to record the residual urine in the patient's bladder.

• A. Measurement
• B. What is left
• C. Total volume
• D. Color and clarity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'residual' refers to what is left after the main part has been taken or used. In this context, 'residual urine' specifically means the urine that remains in the bladder after urination. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately capture the meaning of 'residual' in this sentence. 'Measurement' (A) is too general, 'Total volume' (C) does not specifically pertain to what remains, and 'Color and clarity' (D) is unrelated to the concept of what is left.

5. Everyone thought that was the __________ test of the whole course.

• A. Most easiest
• B. Most easy
• C. Easiest
• D. Easy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Easiest.' The word 'easiest' is the correct superlative form of 'easy,' which is used to compare one item against others in terms of degree. 'Most easiest' and 'most easy' are grammatically incorrect. Choice D, 'Easy,' is incorrect as it is not a superlative form and does not convey a comparison of the test against others in the course.
