1. What does contrite mean?

• A. Guilty
• B. Regretful
• C. Shameful
• D. Pleased

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Regretful.' Contrite means feeling regret or remorse. Choice A, 'Guilty,' does not fully capture the meaning of contrite as it implies a judgement of culpability rather than a feeling of remorse. Choice C, 'Shameful,' is incorrect as it focuses on the emotion of shame rather than regret. Choice D, 'Pleased,' is the opposite of what contrite means, as it signifies satisfaction or happiness, which is contradictory to feeling regretful or remorseful.

2. Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

• A. Do to
• B. Stay was
• C. Client's
• D. Superinfection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.

3. 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.

4. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.

5. Which word describes a person's music collection who listens to a mixture of genres from punk rock to classical?

• A. Theoretical
• B. Relevant
• C. Mélange
• D. Cacophony

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'mélange' refers to a mixture or medley of different elements, which perfectly fits the description of someone who listens to various music genres. It implies diversity in their collection, covering a broad range of styles from punk rock to classical music. Choice A, 'Theoretical,' does not relate to music collections and is more aligned with concepts and hypotheses. Choice B, 'Relevant,' does not capture the idea of a varied music collection. Choice D, 'Cacophony,' refers to a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds, which does not represent a music collection with a variety of genres.
