1. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

2. What is the meaning of NEBULOUS?

• A. Clear
• B. Vague
• C. Precise
• D. Obvious

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Vague.' Nebulous means something that is vague or unclear. Choice A, 'Clear,' is incorrect as it represents the opposite meaning of nebulous. Choice C, 'Precise,' is incorrect as it denotes clarity and exactness, which is the opposite of nebulous. Choice D, 'Obvious,' is also incorrect as it implies something that is easily understood or seen, unlike nebulous which refers to something unclear or hazy.

3. A sore with disintegration of tissue might be called an ___________.

• A. allergy
• B. erythema
• C. alopecia
• D. ulcer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A sore with disintegration of tissue is typically referred to as an ulcer. Ulcers are open sores or wounds that can develop on the skin's surface or within the body. They can vary in size and depth and are commonly associated with conditions such as pressure ulcers, peptic ulcers, and venous ulcers. Ulcers result from the breakdown of tissue, leading to a loss of the skin or mucous membrane in that area. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Allergy refers to a hypersensitivity reaction, erythema is redness of the skin, and alopecia is hair loss. These conditions do not specifically involve the disintegration of tissue as seen in an ulcer.

4. What does the quoted word 'impervious' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Coping well
• B. Enjoying
• C. Not affected
• D. Very sensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Not affected.' In the context provided, 'impervious' means that the client is not affected by pain. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of 'impervious' in this context. 'Coping well' implies dealing with pain effectively, 'enjoying' does not reflect being unaffected by pain, and 'very sensitive' is the opposite of what 'impervious' means.

5. Ventral refers to which part of the body?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Ventral refers to the front part of the body or an organ. It is the opposite of dorsal, which refers to the back part. So, when describing the direction or location of an anatomical structure, ventral would mean towards the front. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Front.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'Top' refers to superior, 'Bottom' refers to inferior, and 'Back' refers to dorsal, not ventral.
