1. 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.

2. When patients are being counseled, what is happening?

• A. They are being discharged
• B. They are being advised
• C. They are being neglected
• D. They are being comforted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When patients are being counseled, they are being advised or guided. Counseling involves providing support, guidance, and advice to help patients cope with their challenges. Choice A is incorrect because counseling is not about discharging patients. Choice C is incorrect because counseling is the opposite of neglect; it is actively providing support. Choice D is incorrect because while comfort may be a part of counseling, the primary focus is on providing guidance and advice to address issues, not just comfort.

3. Choose the meaning of the word intact in the following sentence: 'The capsule remains intact even when placed in water.'

• A. Viable
• B. Operational
• C. Tinted
• D. Whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'intact' is synonymous with 'whole,' meaning that the capsule remains undamaged or complete even when placed in water. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Viable' means capable of working successfully, 'operational' means in working order, and 'tinted' means slightly colored.

4. What is the meaning of histrionics?

• A. Accomplishments
• B. Daring acts
• C. Examinations
• D. Emotional behavior

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Emotional behavior.' Histrionics refer to exaggerated or dramatic emotional behavior, often characterized by theatricality or over-the-top expressions of emotions. It is more related to dramatic and exaggerated emotional displays rather than accomplishments, daring acts, or examinations. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because histrionics specifically pertain to emotional behavior and not achievements, daring actions, or assessments.

5. What does 'Fatal' mean?

• A. Resulting in injury
• B. Resulting in death
• C. Dangerous
• D. Treatable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Resulting in death.' The term 'Fatal' specifically means resulting in death. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Fatal' does not refer to resulting in injury, being dangerous, or being treatable.
