Nursing Elites

1. The physician started to perform the operation, but the patient was not yet completely _____ anesthesia.

• A. under
• B. within
• C. with
• D. over

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'under' as it is commonly used to describe the state of being affected by anesthesia. The patient is 'under' anesthesia, not 'within,' 'with,' or 'over' it. 'Within' typically refers to being inside something, 'with' indicates being accompanied by something, and 'over' suggests being above or on top of something. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, 'under' is the most appropriate choice.

2. What is the meaning of Hygiene?

• A. General cleanliness and good health practices
• B. Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health
• C. A measure of dietary health
• D. A type of infection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health.' Hygiene encompasses practices that promote cleanliness and overall good health, such as washing hands, maintaining personal hygiene, and keeping the surroundings clean. Choice A has been revised to 'General cleanliness and good health practices' to better reflect the concept of hygiene. Hygiene goes beyond just cleanliness to include specific measures for maintaining health. Choice C is incorrect as hygiene is not specifically related to dietary health; it is more about cleanliness and health practices. Choice D is incorrect as hygiene is not a type of infection; it is about preventing infections through proper practices.

3. Which sentence uses 'etc.' grammatically correct?

• A. The list included diseases such as flu, measles, etc.
• B. The list included flu, measles, etc., and other items.
• C. The list included flu, measles, etc., diseases, and other items.
• D. The list included, flu, etc., measles, diseases, and other items.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct usage of 'etc.' should follow a comma when concluding a list. Option A correctly places 'etc.' at the end of a logical list with a comma before it, following grammatical rules. In option B, a comma should be placed after 'etc.' before introducing 'and other items.' Options C and D either misplace commas or incorrectly use 'etc.' within the list.

4. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

5. Select the word or phrase that means 'offspring' in the sentence: 'Progeny is a term used to describe a person’s ____.'

• A. creditors
• B. offspring
• C. hereditary disease
• D. health status

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'offspring.' Progeny means offspring, so it is the most appropriate term to describe a person's descendants. 'Creditors' (A), 'hereditary disease' (C), and 'health status' (D) do not directly relate to the concept of progeny or offspring in this context.
