1. What is Hydration?

• A. The process of dehydrating
• B. Maintenance of body fluid
• C. Loss of water
• D. Draining fluids

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hydration refers to the maintenance of body fluids. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the opposite process, dehydration. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on the result of inadequate hydration rather than the concept itself. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately define hydration but rather implies removing fluids.

2. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'

3. What does Distended mean?

• A. Shrunken
• B. Enlarged or expanded from pressure
• C. Collapsed
• D. Constricted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Distended means enlarged or expanded from pressure. The term 'shrunken' (Choice A) means reduced in size, 'collapsed' (Choice C) means fallen in or disintegrated, and 'constricted' (Choice D) means narrowed or tightened. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

4. Which sentence is correct?

• A. The physician wrote a prescription for the needed medicine
• B. The physician wrote a recommendation for the needed medicine
• C. The physician wrote a report for the needed medication
• D. The physician wrote a subscription for the needed medication

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A prescription is a written order from a physician or other licensed health practitioner for the preparation and administration of a medication. In this context, 'prescription' is the correct term for the document written by a physician to authorize the dispensing of medication. The other options (B, C, D) use incorrect terms such as 'recommendation,' 'report,' and 'subscription,' which do not accurately convey the action of a physician prescribing medication. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the action taken by the physician.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'trepidation' in the sentence: 'The students approached the cadaver with some trepidation.'

• A. Wonder
• B. Confusion
• C. Eagerness
• D. Apprehension

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'trepidation' is used to describe the feeling the students had when approaching the cadaver. Trepidation means a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen, so it aligns most closely with the meaning of 'apprehension.' The students were hesitant or worried about facing the cadaver. Choice A ('Wonder') is incorrect as trepidation does not signify a feeling of wonder. Choice B ('Confusion') is incorrect as trepidation is not about being confused. Choice C ('Eagerness') is incorrect as trepidation is the opposite of eagerness; it indicates hesitation or anxiety, not excitement or enthusiasm.
