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 sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.

3. As the leader of a group, the charge nurse is open to new ideas and thoughts of the group. The charge nurse encourages the group to participate in making decisions. This type of leadership is called:

• A. Laissez-faire
• B. Autocratic
• C. Democratic
• D. Direct

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Democratic.' A 'Democratic' leadership style involves the leader being open to new ideas and thoughts from the group and encourages group participation in decision-making. This style promotes collaboration, communication, and inclusivity in decision-making processes. 'Laissez-faire' leadership is characterized by a hands-off approach with minimal guidance or direction. 'Autocratic' leadership is where the leader makes decisions without much input from the group. 'Direct' leadership is not a widely recognized leadership style in this context.

4. Choose the meaning of the word 'predispose' in the following sentence: 'Being overweight may predispose a person to diabetes.'

• A. Make susceptible
• B. Bring to light
• C. Save from harm
• D. Pass over

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'predispose' means to create a tendency or susceptibility towards a particular condition or outcome. It implies an increased likelihood or vulnerability. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because 'predispose' does not mean 'bring to light,' 'save from harm,' or 'pass over.' The correct choice is A as it accurately reflects the idea of making someone more susceptible to a specific condition or situation.

5. Which word describes a screen or filter?

• A. Permeable
• B. Incendiary
• C. Exuding
• D. Resilient

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'permeable' refers to a material or surface that allows liquids, gases, or substances to pass through it, while screening or filtering out impurities. This makes it an appropriate descriptor for a screen or filter, which function by allowing certain elements to pass through while retaining others. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: 'Incendiary' means causing fires, 'Exuding' means giving off or releasing, and 'Resilient' means able to withstand or recover from difficult conditions.
