1. Which word describes a person's music collection who listens to a mixture of genres from punk rock to classical?

• A. Theoretical
• B. Relevant
• C. Mélange
• D. Cacophony

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'mélange' refers to a mixture or medley of different elements, which perfectly fits the description of someone who listens to various music genres. It implies diversity in their collection, covering a broad range of styles from punk rock to classical music. Choice A, 'Theoretical,' does not relate to music collections and is more aligned with concepts and hypotheses. Choice B, 'Relevant,' does not capture the idea of a varied music collection. Choice D, 'Cacophony,' refers to a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds, which does not represent a music collection with a variety of genres.

2. The voice box may be called the ___________.

• A. larynx
• B. lynx
• C. pharynx
• D. phalanx

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, larynx. The voice box is commonly referred to as the larynx. It is an organ in the neck that contains the vocal cords and is responsible for producing sound. The other options are incorrect: B) lynx is a type of wildcat, C) pharynx is part of the throat involved in swallowing, and D) phalanx refers to the bones of the fingers or toes.

3. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

4. Replete is best defined as being ___________.

• A. hardy
• B. quiet
• C. full
• D. sad

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Replete means filled to the utmost capacity or complete in every detail. Therefore, the best definition of replete from the given choices is 'full.' Choice A, 'hardy,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of replete. Choice B, 'quiet,' is unrelated to the definition of replete. Choice D, 'sad,' is also not synonymous with the term replete.

5. Which word is NOT CORRECTLY USED in the sentence? Confidentiality should be observed at all times, so the nurse should not discuss clients when the conversation can be overheard.

• A. Be observed
• B. By
• C. Can be
• D. Should not

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. In the sentence, 'be observed' should be changed to 'should be observed' for proper grammar. 'Should be observed' is the correct way to indicate the necessity of maintaining confidentiality. Choice B, 'by,' is used correctly as a preposition. Choice C, 'can be,' is also used correctly in the sentence. Choice D, 'should not,' is correctly used to indicate what the nurse ought not to do.
