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 the term 'viscous' mean?

• A. Thick and sticky
• B. Slimy
• C. Watery
• D. Dry

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Thick and sticky.' Viscous describes a substance that is thick and sticky, resisting flow easily. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Slimy' implies a slippery, gooey texture; 'Watery' describes a substance with a thin, fluid consistency; and 'Dry' indicates the absence of moisture.

3. What is the meaning of Gender?

• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'vital' in the sentence: 'It is vital for the victim of a serious accident to receive medical attention immediately.'

• A. recommended
• B. discouraged
• C. essential
• D. sufficient

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this context, 'vital' means absolutely necessary or essential, indicating that receiving medical attention immediately is crucial for the victim's well-being. Choice A, 'recommended,' suggests a level of advisability rather than necessity. Choice B, 'discouraged,' is the opposite of the meaning conveyed by 'vital.' Choice D, 'sufficient,' implies having enough of something, which is not the intended meaning in the given sentence.

5. What is another word for antidote?

• A. Purity
• B. Habitat
• C. Remedy
• D. Venom

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: What is another word for antidote? Rationale: An antidote is a substance that can counteract the effects of poison or disease. The term 'remedy' is often used synonymously with antidote to indicate a solution or cure for a particular problem or ailment. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of antidote. 'Purity' refers to cleanliness or being free from contaminants, 'Habitat' is the natural environment where an organism lives, and 'Venom' is a poisonous substance typically injected by animals like snakes or insects.
