Entry Exam
The nurse asked the technician for __________ while dealing with an unruly patient in the emergency room.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
In this context, the nurse is requesting 'assistance,' which refers to the help or support needed to manage the situation with the unruly patient in the emergency room. The word 'assistants' (choice B) refers to people who provide help, not the action of providing help. 'Assist' (choice C) and 'assisting' (choice D) are verbs that do not fit grammatically in the sentence as the nurse is asking for a noun, not a verb.
