Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following facts would be the most relevant to include here?

• A. NO CHANGE; best as written
• B. was another activist group that
• C. had a lot of members that
• D. was another school that

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Option B provides relevant context by specifying that the BPP was another activist group. This clarification helps to establish a parallel between the BPP and the NAACP in terms of their function and purpose. Choice C is incorrect as the number of members is not the key point being compared in the sentence. Choice D is incorrect as it introduces an unrelated comparison involving schools, which is not relevant to the context provided in the sentence.

2. Which of the following best describes the statement: 'This flower is dead; someone must have forgotten to water it'?

• A. A classification
• B. An observation
• C. An inference
• D. A collection

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C - 'An inference'. An inference is a conclusion drawn based on evidence and reasoning, not directly observed facts. In this statement, the conclusion that someone must have forgotten to water the flower is inferred from the observed fact that the flower is dead. Choice A - 'A classification' is incorrect because the statement does not categorize or classify the flower in any way. Choice B - 'An observation' is incorrect because it does not involve interpreting or drawing a conclusion from the observed fact. Choice D - 'A collection' is incorrect as it does not relate to the process of drawing a conclusion based on evidence.

3. Jacob has $100. She spends 87% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 75%. How much money does she now have?

• A. $13.00
• B. $87.00
• C. $22.75
• D. $9.75

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Jacob spends 87% of $100, which is $87, leaving her with $13. When she invests the remaining $13 and earns a 75% profit, she gains an additional $9.75. Thus, the total amount she now has is $13 (remaining amount) + $9.75 (profit) = $22.75. Choice A is incorrect as it reflects the remaining amount before investing and earning a profit. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the profit earned from the investment. Choice D is incorrect as it only considers the profit amount, not the total sum.

4. Which of the following touch receptors respond to light touch and slower vibrations?

• A. Merkel's discs
• B. Pacinian corpuscles
• C. Meissner's corpuscles
• D. Ruffini endings

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Merkel's discs. Merkel's discs are touch receptors that respond to light touch and slower vibrations, making them ideal for detecting subtle tactile stimuli. Pacinian corpuscles are specialized in detecting deep pressure and high-frequency vibrations, not light touch or slower vibrations. Meissner's corpuscles, on the other hand, are sensitive to light touch and low-frequency vibrations, but they do not specifically respond to slower vibrations. Ruffini endings are responsible for detecting skin stretch and continuous touch pressure, differentiating them from Merkel's discs, which are specifically attuned to light touch and slower vibrations.

5. Jenson also discovers that the meaning behind many of the plays was closely related to the polytheistic beliefs that were practiced in ancient Greece. What section of the library should he check for more information about Greek polytheism?

• A. 100
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Jenson should check section 200 of the library for more information about Greek polytheism. In the Dewey Decimal Classification system used in libraries, section 200 covers topics related to religion. Since Greek polytheism is a religious belief system, relevant resources and information about it are most likely found in the 200s section of the library. Choice A (100) covers Philosophy and Psychology, which is not directly related to religion like Greek polytheism. Choice C (300) covers Social Sciences, which is not the most appropriate section for information on religious beliefs. Choice D (900) covers History, Geography, and Biography, which are also unrelated to the specific topic of Greek polytheism.
