1. What is the meaning of Contrite?

• A. Guilty
• B. Regretful
• C. Shameful
• D. Pleased

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Regretful.' Contrite means feeling regret or remorse. 'Guilty' (A) refers to being responsible for a wrongdoing, not necessarily feeling remorseful. 'Shameful' (C) means feeling ashamed, which is related but not the same as feeling regret. 'Pleased' (D) means feeling satisfied or happy, which is the opposite of contrite.

2. To critique something is to ___________.

• A. appraise it
• B. condemn it
• C. extol it
• D. berate it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To critique something means to evaluate and judge it, often pointing out its faults or shortcomings. Condemning something implies expressing strong disapproval or criticism of it, which aligns closely with the concept of critiquing. 'Appraise' means to assess the value or quality of something, which is not necessarily negative. 'Extol' means to praise highly, which is the opposite of critiquing. 'Berate' means to scold or criticize someone angrily, which is not the same as objectively evaluating something as in critiquing. Therefore, 'condemn it' is the most suitable choice among the given options.

3. What does respite mean?

• A. Rest
• B. Relief
• C. Pain
• D. Burden

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Respite means a period of rest or relief. It refers to a temporary break or relief from something challenging or stressful. It is a time to relax and recharge, providing a sense of ease or comfort rather than pain or burden. 'Rest' (choice A) is related to respite but does not capture the aspect of temporary relief. 'Pain' (choice C) and 'Burden' (choice D) are opposite in meaning to respite, as they signify discomfort and heaviness, respectively, which are not synonymous with the concept of respite.

4. Nurse Junko and _______ will review the patient’s chart.

• A. She
• B. Them
• C. Me
• D. Him

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: She.' In this sentence, 'She' is the correct pronoun to use as the subject since it refers to Nurse Junko, who is one of the individuals performing the action. 'Them' (choice B), 'Me' (choice C), and 'Him' (choice D) are incorrect as they do not match the subject of the sentence, which is Nurse Junko.

5. What is the best description of an audit check?

• A. A restraint on appraisals
• B. A payment for inventory
• C. A test of hearing
• D. A review or inspection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: An audit check is a process of reviewing and inspecting financial records, transactions, or processes to ensure accuracy and compliance with established guidelines. It involves examining information systematically and thoroughly to verify its completeness and reliability. Option D, "A review or inspection," best describes an audit check. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the process of auditing financial records for accuracy and compliance.
