1. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.

2. What is the best description for the term anodyne?

• A. Emulsified
• B. Liquefied
• C. Contaminated
• D. Painkilling

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'anodyne' refers to something that relieves or alleviates pain or discomfort. Therefore, the best description for anodyne is 'painkilling.' Choices A (Emulsified), B (Liquefied), and C (Contaminated) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the meaning of anodyne.

3. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

4. A patient who is querulous might be guilty of ______.

• A. Stealing
• B. Questioning
• C. Overeating
• D. Complaining

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Complaining.' 'Querulous' means complaining in a petulant or whining manner. This word describes someone who is constantly finding fault and is difficult to please. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'querulous' specifically refers to complaining behavior, not stealing, questioning, or overeating.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'sanguinary' in the following sentence: 'Surgery is often a sanguinary procedure.'

• A. Hopeful or cheerful
• B. Involving bloodshed
• C. Difficult and protracted
• D. Tricky and sensitive

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'sanguinary' is derived from the Latin word 'sanguinarius,' meaning bloodthirsty or bloodshed. In the context of the sentence, 'sanguinary' is used to indicate that surgery is a procedure that involves bloodshed. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A ('Hopeful or cheerful') is incorrect because 'sanguinary' does not convey a positive or cheerful meaning. Choice C ('Difficult and protracted') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' specifically relates to blood or bloodshed, not difficulty or prolongation. Choice D ('Tricky and sensitive') is incorrect as 'sanguinary' does not imply trickiness or sensitivity but rather the presence of blood or bloodshed.
