Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. What does instigate mean?

• A. Deactivate
• B. Activate
• C. Suppress
• D. Evaluate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Activate.' Instigate means to initiate or provoke a particular event or action. Choice A, 'Deactivate,' is incorrect as it means to make something inactive, which is the opposite of instigate. Choice C, 'Suppress,' is incorrect as it means to restrain or prevent something, not to initiate it. Choice D, 'Evaluate,' is incorrect as it means to assess or judge the value or quality of something, not to start or provoke it.

3. What is the outer bone in the lower leg called?

• A. fascia
• B. fibrous
• C. filial
• D. fibula

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The outer bone in the lower leg is called the fibula, not fascia, fibrous, or filial. The fibula is a slender bone that runs alongside the larger tibia in the lower leg. While it provides stability and support to leg muscles, its main function is not weight-bearing like the tibia. Therefore, the correct answer is the fibula.

4. He had already finished studying at a(n) _____ when he was called to join the army.

• A. university
• B. academy
• C. college
• D. institute

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, the correct answer is 'university.' The term 'university' is used to refer to higher education institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. While 'academy,' 'college,' and 'institute' are also types of educational institutions, 'university' is the most fitting choice here as it best aligns with the idea of completing higher education before joining the army.

5. What does Dilute mean?

• A. To concentrate
• B. To make a liquid less concentrated
• C. To solidify
• D. To evaporate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of dilute is to make a liquid less concentrated. When a substance is diluted, it means it has been mixed with another substance to reduce its strength or concentration. Option A, 'To concentrate,' is the opposite of dilute. Option C, 'To solidify,' means to make or become hard or solid, which is unrelated to diluting a liquid. Option D, 'To evaporate,' means to change from a liquid to a vapor, also unrelated to diluting a liquid. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
