Nursing Elites

1. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

2. What does 'External' refer to?

• A. Inside the body
• B. Located outside the body
• C. Exposed internally
• D. Near the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'External' refers to something that is located outside the body. In this context, it specifically denotes a position or location that is beyond the confines of the body's boundaries. Choice A is incorrect as 'External' means outside, not inside. Choice C is incorrect as it confuses the internal exposure with external positioning. Choice D is incorrect as 'External' does not necessarily mean near the skin, but rather outside the body.

3. The nurse asked the patient to choose the items from the menu that are his _____.

• A. favorites
• B. selections
• C. preferences
• D. choices

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'favorites.' In this context, 'favorites' best describes the patient's personal preferences from the menu. The nurse is asking the patient to select the items they like the most. While 'selections' and 'choices' could also work in this context, 'favorites' specifically highlights the items the patient prefers above all others. 'Preferences' is not as fitting as 'favorites' because it generally refers to a broader range of likes and dislikes rather than specific favorite items.

4. What does Vacuous mean?

• A. Empty
• B. Full
• C. Dense
• D. Bright

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Empty.' Vacuous means lacking intelligence, empty-headed, or devoid of substance. Choice B, 'Full,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of vacuous. Choice C, 'Dense,' means closely compacted or stupid, not vacuous. Choice D, 'Bright,' means giving out or reflecting a lot of light, not vacuous.

5. What is another word for EXPEDITE?

• A. Transfer
• B. Rush
• C. Cancel
• D. Hold

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rush. To expedite means to accelerate the progress or speed of something, to hasten or facilitate. 'Transfer' (choice A) means to move from one place to another, 'Cancel' (choice C) means to call off, and 'Hold' (choice D) means to keep or detain. Therefore, 'Rush' is the most appropriate synonym for expedite in this context.
