Nursing Elites

1. Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? 'The shopper was angry when he realized he could have ___ it cheaper at the other store.'

• A. Get
• B. Could have got
• C. Could have gotten
• D. Might have get

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C) Could have gotten.' In this sentence, the verb form 'gotten' is the correct past participle form of 'get,' indicating a missed opportunity in the past. Choice A is incorrect because 'get' is the base form of the verb, not the past participle. Choice B is incorrect as 'got' is the past tense, not the past participle. Choice D is incorrect because 'get' is the base form, and 'might have get' is not the correct structure for this sentence.

2. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

3. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

4. What does Cast mean?

• A. A tool used for breaking bones
• B. Hard protective device applied to protect a broken bone
• C. A soft bandage
• D. An instrument used in surgery

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. A cast is a hard protective device applied to protect a broken bone. Choice A is incorrect as a cast is not a tool used for breaking bones, but rather for supporting and protecting them. Choice C is incorrect as a cast is not a soft bandage but a rigid structure. Choice D is incorrect as a cast is not an instrument used in surgery, but a medical device used for bone support.

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.
