,SECTION 1: READING (Questions 1-50)
This section measures your ability to comprehend written text, identify key ideas, interpret information,
and evaluate arguments.
Question 1
Read the following passage and answer the question:
"Nurses must maintain accurate and detailed patient records. Documentation serves multiple purposes:
it provides a legal record of care, facilitates communication among healthcare team members, ensures
continuity of care across shifts, and supports quality improvement initiatives. The medical record is
considered a legal document and can be used in court proceedings. Therefore, nurses must document
objectively, avoiding opinions or judgments. Each entry should include the date, time, and signature of
the documenting nurse."
Which of the following statements best captures the main idea of the passage?
A. Court proceedings often rely on medical records as primary evidence.
B. Patient documentation is essential for legal, communication, and quality purposes.
C. Nurses should only document during their scheduled shifts.
D. Quality improvement initiatives are the most important reason for documentation.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The passage emphasizes multiple purposes of documentation: legal record, communication,
continuity of care, and quality improvement. Option B captures all these purposes, while options A and
D are too narrow, and option C is not supported by the passage.
Question 2
Read the following passage and answer the question:
"The human circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and approximately 5 liters of blood.
The heart functions as a muscular pump with four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Deoxygenated
blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava, then moves to the right
ventricle and is pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Oxygenated blood returns to the left
atrium through pulmonary veins, passes to the left ventricle, and is distributed throughout the body via
the aorta."
Based on the passage, which of the following describes the correct sequence of blood flow through the
heart?
A. Left atrium → Left ventricle → Lungs → Right atrium → Right ventricle
B. Right atrium → Right ventricle → Lungs → Left atrium → Left ventricle
C. Right ventricle → Right atrium → Lungs → Left ventricle → Left atrium
D. Left ventricle → Left atrium → Aorta → Right ventricle → Right atrium
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The passage clearly states: right atrium → right ventricle → lungs (via pulmonary artery) →
left atrium (via pulmonary veins) → left ventricle → body (via aorta).
Question 3
Read the following passage and answer the question:
"The human microbiome, consisting of trillions of microorganisms living in and on the human body, plays
a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and even mental health. Recent studies have shown that
individuals with diverse gut bacteria tend to have stronger immune responses and lower rates of
autoimmune diseases. Conversely, a lack of microbial diversity has been linked to conditions such as
obesity, diabetes, and depression. Researchers believe that modern lifestyles, including the overuse of
antibiotics and highly processed diets, have reduced microbial diversity in populations worldwide."
Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
A. Antibiotics are the primary cause of reduced microbial diversity worldwide.
B. The human microbiome is important to health, and modern lifestyles may reduce its diversity.
C. People with diverse gut bacteria never get sick.
D. Processed diets are the only factor affecting the microbiome.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The passage discusses the importance of the microbiome for health and connects modern
lifestyles to reduced diversity. Options A and D are too narrow, and option C is an absolute statement
not supported by the text.
Question 4
Read the following passage and answer the question:
"In 1928, Alexander Fleming noticed that a mold called Penicillium had contaminated one of his bacterial
cultures and killed the surrounding bacteria. This accidental discovery led to the development of
penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. Fleming's work earned him the Nobel Prize in 1945. However,
Fleming himself warned that misuse of antibiotics could lead to the evolution of resistant bacteria—a
warning that has proven prescient as antibiotic resistance has become a major global health crisis."
Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage?
A. Fleming intentionally contaminated his bacterial cultures.
B. Antibiotic resistance is no longer a concern today.
C. Fleming anticipated the problem of antibiotic resistance.
D. Penicillin was the only antibiotic ever discovered by Fleming.
Correct Answer: C
