Yes Debby, I caught the "o's" also! Do you think that we're taught to be overanalytical as nurses???
OK, I sent my answers. Let the fun begin...

Definitions: Read the Topic again with both in mind.
to=expressing motion towards;as far as; regarding; unto,upon; besides; compared with...
too=in addition; more than enough; moreover[stressed form of to]
the given here [stressed form of to]
think about it and reread the title or heading...
I've received many replies,and I thank you but,not ONE has answered all questions. The purpose wasn't for fun. Look again, and READ closer. We must strive too look at everything, not just what we see with a glance but,all the things that aren't obvious.
When you walk into a client,patient,or residents room, what are you looking for? Those things that aren't obvious to an untrained eye; correct?
I hate these!
It's 11:51 here

I just sent my answers. The time here is 11:01am. Took me 7 minutes to complete. I hope I didn't flunk. LOL :)
OH, jeez. I just saw a question that I missed. The answer is "YES."
oh, i get it now, and I don't want to play. This is a giggle forum last time I checked. I wanted a laugh and I got one. It may surpise all of you to know that this little test if you want to call it that has been around for ages. I remember my english 8 teacher giving us one exactly the same except at the top it said. Read the instructions carefully. Down a ways it said put your name on the paper and turn it over. As you may have guessed everyone answered all of the questions.. the point, simple, read the question and know what it is asking...boring then,boring now!
It was way more fun having a laugh at the silliness of our brains. I thank God every day for my gift of laughter becuase it is the best medicine!

Hey Betts,
I sent you my answers yesterday and I did have them all right! Instead of saying "you" for the last one, I said my name.
