1. 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.

2. What is Diffusion?

• A. Movement of materials from low concentration to high concentration
• B. Movement of materials from high concentration to low concentration
• C. Absorption of nutrients
• D. Breaking of materials

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Diffusion is the process where substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs due to the random motion of particles and continues until equilibrium is reached. Choice A is incorrect because diffusion occurs down the concentration gradient, from high to low concentration, not from low to high concentration. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to the uptake of substances by cells, not the general process of diffusion. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the process of diffusion; diffusion involves the movement of substances, not the breaking of materials.

3. What does Adhere mean?

• A. To ignore something
• B. To stick to something
• C. To go against something
• D. To pull apart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To stick to something.' Adhere means to stay attached or stick to something. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A 'To ignore something' is the opposite of adhere, choice C 'To go against something' means to oppose rather than stick to, and choice D 'To pull apart' is the opposite of sticking together.

4. What is a diagnostic test?

• A. One that locates a cure
• B. One that looks for a cause
• C. One that examines the skin
• D. One that is performed on doctors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A diagnostic test is a medical test or procedure performed to identify the cause of a health problem, disease, or condition. It helps healthcare providers make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatments for patients. Choice A is incorrect because a diagnostic test does not locate a cure but rather aims to identify the cause of a health issue. Choice C is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not specifically for examining the skin but can involve various types of tests on different parts of the body. Choice D is incorrect as a diagnostic test is not performed on doctors but on patients to diagnose their health conditions.

5. Which phrase is NOT used correctly in the sentence?

• A. Do to
• B. Stay was
• C. Client's
• D. Superinfection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. "Do to" should be corrected to "due to" in this context. The sentence should read, "The client's hospital stay was prolonged, due to a superinfection." The phrase "due to" is the appropriate choice to indicate the cause of the prolonged hospital stay. Choices B, C, and D are all used correctly in the sentence and do not contain any errors.
