1. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.

2. Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of ___________.

• A. smell
• B. taste
• C. touch
• D. sight

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Contact dermatitis occurs through the sense of touch when the skin comes into direct contact with irritants or allergens, leading to an inflammatory reaction. This condition is commonly caused by the skin being in contact with items like certain chemicals, fabrics, plants, or metals, resulting in redness, itching, and sometimes blisters. The other choices (smell, taste, sight) do not relate to the cause of contact dermatitis, which specifically involves the skin's direct contact with irritants or allergens.

3. The Ramifications of a course of treatment are that treatment's ______

• A. Effectiveness
• B. Consequences
• C. Complications
• D. Outcomes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Consequences.' Ramifications refer to the consequences of a particular course of action or treatment. In this context, 'Effectiveness' (Choice A) is not the most appropriate term as ramifications are more about the results or outcomes beyond just effectiveness. 'Complications' (Choice C) are adverse effects or issues that arise, not necessarily the overall consequences. 'Outcomes' (Choice D) is close in meaning but not as synonymous with ramifications as 'Consequences' is.

4. What does Lateral mean?

• A. Near the midline
• B. Away from the midline
• C. At the top of the body
• D. On the side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'On the side.' Lateral means situated on the side or away from the midline. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because lateral specifically refers to a position that is situated away from the midline, not near it, at the top of the body, or on the side.

5. What does 'deteriorating' mean?

• A. Improving
• B. Worsening
• C. Staying the same
• 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).
