Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.

3. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

• A. Their
• B. Going
• C. They're
• D. There

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

4. 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.

5. A tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours of administration.

• A. of
• B. before
• C. after
• D. during

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct preposition to use after 'within 24 hours' in this context is 'of.' Therefore, the tuberculin skin test should be read within 24 hours of administration. The other choices ('before,' 'after,' 'during') do not correctly convey the relationship between the timing of reading the test and the administration.
