1. The charge nurse overheard the nursing assistant discussing the private details of a client's medical condition with a personnel friend in the hospital _____.

• A. cafeteria
• B. office
• C. room
• D. hall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'cafeteria.' Cafeterias are common areas in hospitals where staff may have conversations, but discussing private client details in this public setting is a violation of patient privacy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because an office, room, or hall would be more suitable and private places for discussing sensitive patient information.

2. What is the meaning of 'carnivore'?

• A. hungry
• B. meat-eating
• C. infected
• D. demented

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'meat-eating.' The term 'carnivore' specifically refers to an animal that primarily consumes meat. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'hungry' means feeling the need to eat, 'infected' refers to being affected by a disease or pathogen, and 'demented' means to be mentally disturbed.

3. What does Latent mean?

• A. Easily seen
• B. Present but not active or visible
• C. Quick to react
• D. Actively growing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Present but not active or visible.' Latent refers to something that is existing but not yet developed or manifest. Choice A, 'Easily seen,' is incorrect as latent implies the opposite - not easily seen. Choice C, 'Quick to react,' is incorrect as latent does not imply a quick reaction but rather a hidden or dormant state. Choice D, 'Actively growing,' is incorrect as latent suggests the opposite - not actively growing but rather inactive or concealed.

Rationale: The sentence 'He runs fast' uses 'fast' correctly as an adverb. An adverb is used to describe a verb and in this case, 'fast' is describing how 'he runs.' Choices A, B, and C use 'fast' as an adjective, not an adverb. In choice A, 'fast' is describing the car, in choice B it is describing how the car drove, and in choice C it is describing the runner.

5. What does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
