Nursing Elites

1. What is the first thing the instructions say to do to get the young girl to sleep?

• A. Give her a stuffed animal.
• B. Read her a couple of books.
• C. Rock her in her chair.
• D. Play music in her room.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Read her a couple of books.' The instructions in the extract clearly state that the first thing to do to get the young girl to sleep is to read her a couple of books. This helps her settle down for sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because giving her a stuffed animal, rocking her in her chair, or playing music in her room are mentioned in the instructions but not as the first step to get her to sleep.

2. Which of the following best describes the organization of the information in the passage?

• A. cause-effect
• B. chronological sequence
• C. problem-solution
• D. comparison-contrast

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage is organized in a chronological sequence, starting from the reign of King Charles II, proceeding to his death without a legitimate heir, the ascension of his brother James II, and the events that followed with the birth of James II's son and the subsequent fleeing of the family. The passage then covers the rejection of the young James as heir, the rise of the Jacobites, and the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Each event is presented in the order in which they occurred. The other answer choices are incorrect: cause-effect implies a relationship of events leading to each other, problem-solution focuses on identifying issues and resolving them, and comparison-contrast involves highlighting similarities and differences between subjects, none of which are the primary organizational structure of the passage.

3. What does the word 'principal' refer to in the following text?

• A. Primary or chief
• B. An acolyte
• C. An individual who provides nurturing
• D. One in a subordinate position

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'principal' refers to the primary or chief role that Reldresal holds as the principal secretary for private affairs. This term signifies his significant position and authority within the hierarchy. The other choices are incorrect because 'principal' does not mean 'an acolyte' (a follower or assistant), 'an individual who provides nurturing,' or 'one in a subordinate position.'

4. Sarah is hosting a brunch for a baby shower and knows that several of the guests are strict vegans. She wants to make sure she prepares certain foods correctly to ensure all her guests have something to eat. In particular, she is looking for recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Which chapter of the cookbook should she consult?

• A. Chapter I
• B. Chapter II
• C. Chapter IV
• D. Chapter V

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Chapter II typically focuses on baking and sweet treats, which would likely include recipes for banana bread and blueberry muffins. Sarah should consult this chapter for vegan-friendly versions of these recipes that will cater to her strict vegan guests. Choice A, Chapter I, primarily covers yeast breads, not the specific recipes Sarah is looking for. Choice C, Chapter IV, focuses on elegant, easy entrees, which are not relevant to the sweet treats Sarah wants. Choice D, Chapter V, covers delicious desserts and drinks, but it does not specifically mention the items Sarah is interested in, making it less likely to contain the recipes she needs.

5. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

• A. $6
• B. $9
• C. $12
• D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.
