1. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

2. What does Medial mean?

• A. Away from the midline
• B. Toward the midline
• C. At the side
• D. Below the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Medial means toward the midline of the body. In anatomical terms, 'medial' refers to positions closer to the midline of the body, which divides the body into left and right halves. Choice A is incorrect as it describes 'lateral,' which means away from the midline. Choice C is incorrect as it describes 'lateral' or 'side.' Choice D is incorrect as it describes 'inferior,' which means below or lower in position.

3. Another word for STRICT is?

• A. Stringent
• B. Daily
• C. Weekly
• D. Nominal

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, "Stringent." The term "stringent" is a synonym for "strict," both denoting being rigid, precise, or exacting in rules, requirements, or standards. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not carry the same meaning as "strict." 'Daily' and 'weekly' refer to frequency, while 'nominal' means minimal or insignificant, which are not synonymous with strict.

4. What does Adhere mean?

• A. To ignore something
• B. To stick to something
• C. To go against something
• D. To pull apart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To stick to something.' Adhere means to stay attached or stick to something. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A 'To ignore something' is the opposite of adhere, choice C 'To go against something' means to oppose rather than stick to, and choice D 'To pull apart' is the opposite of sticking together.

5. The quality, safety, and efficacy of the new medicines are not known. What does efficacy mean?

• A. Cost
• B. Effectiveness
• C. Quality
• D. Usage

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Efficacy refers to how effective something is. In this context, it refers to the effectiveness of the new medicines. 'Cost' (Choice A) is incorrect as it relates to the price of something, not its effectiveness. 'Quality' (Choice C) is incorrect as it refers to the standard or degree of excellence. 'Usage' (Choice D) is incorrect as it refers to how something is used, not its effectiveness.
