1. What does Exposure mean?

• A. Protection from external elements
• B. Contact
• C. Absorption
• D. Isolation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Exposure refers to coming into contact with external elements. Choice A is incorrect as exposure does not imply protection but rather contact. Choice C, absorption, refers to the process of soaking up or taking in something. Choice D, isolation, means being separated or kept apart from others, which is not synonymous with exposure.

2. Which word means to suggest, to hint, to express indirectly?

• A. Imply
• B. Infer
• C. Opinion
• D. Latter

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 'Imply' means to suggest or indicate something indirectly. In this context, 'Infer' (choice B) is incorrect as it means to deduce or conclude information based on evidence and reasoning, not to suggest. 'Opinion' (choice C) refers to a personal view or judgment, not the act of suggesting indirectly. 'Latter' (choice D) means the second of two things mentioned.

3. A truculent patient is ______?

• A. Passive
• B. Argumentative
• C. Cooperative
• D. Friendly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A truculent patient is characterized by being argumentative or hostile. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B: Argumentative.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because a truculent patient is not passive, cooperative, or friendly.

4. What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?

• A. Measures contributing to cleanliness
• B. Financial resources
• C. Insurance
• D. Friendliness

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness.' In the given sentence, 'hygiene' refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health, such as washing hands, taking showers, and maintaining a clean environment. Choice B, 'Financial resources,' is incorrect as hygiene does not pertain to money matters. Choice C, 'Insurance,' is unrelated to the concept of hygiene. Choice D, 'Friendliness,' is also incorrect as it does not align with the context of personal cleanliness and health.

5. Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'

• A. patient
• B. form
• C. nurse
• D. missing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
