1. What does 'invasive' mean?

• A. Harmless
• B. Entering into a body part
• C. Mildly irritating
• D. Non-penetrative

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Entering into a body part.' 'Invasive' refers to something that invades or penetrates into a body part. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is incorrect as invasive implies a negative impact. Choice C, 'Mildly irritating,' is incorrect as invasive implies a more serious intrusion. Choice D, 'Non-penetrative,' is incorrect as invasive specifically denotes penetration or entry.

2. Select the meaning that best fits the following word: injurious.

• A. Toxic
• B. Palatable
• C. Amenable
• D. Harmless

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Toxic.' 'Injurious' means harmful or likely to cause injury, similar to 'toxic.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'palatable' means pleasant to taste, 'amenable' means cooperative or willing to agree, and 'harmless' means not causing harm.

3. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.

4. 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.

5. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving

• D. Fluctuating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Worsening.' Deteriorating refers to something getting worse over time, not improving (choice A), staying the same (choice C), or fluctuating (choice D).
