1. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

2. After treatment, his PROGNOSIS was excellent. What does the term PROGNOSIS refer to?

• A. Compliance
• B. Range of motion
• C. Expected outcome
• D. Conclusion

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'PROGNOSIS' refers to the expected outcome or likelihood of recovery after a specific treatment or illness. In this context, the word 'PROGNOSIS' directly relates to the expected outcome following the treatment, making choice C - Expected outcome - the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'Compliance' refers to following instructions, 'Range of motion' relates to the extent of movement in a joint, and 'Conclusion' is a summary or final decision, none of which captures the meaning of 'PROGNOSIS.'

3. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

• A. Laws
• B. Limits
• C. Common sense
• D. Structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of the sentence provided, 'parameters' refer to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics that dictate the nurse's actions. This term does not directly relate to laws (choice A), common sense (choice C), or structure (choice D) in this context. The correct answer is 'B - Limits,' as it aligns with the idea of boundaries or restrictions within which the nurse must operate according to medical ethics.

5. The patients are under 'quarantine'. What does this mean?

• A. Confinement away from the general population
• B. A specialist’s care
• C. Experimental drug therapy
• D. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine refers to keeping someone isolated from the general population to prevent the spread of disease. Choice B, 'A specialist’s care,' is incorrect as it refers to medical treatment by a specialist, not isolation. Choice C, 'Experimental drug therapy,' is incorrect as it involves the administration of new drugs for research purposes, not isolation. Choice D, 'Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit,' is incorrect as it implies being detained in a rehabilitation facility, not isolation for health reasons.
