Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly. The nurse made a error with the medication, so the doctor made notes about it in the patient's record.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word "a" is not used correctly in the sentence. It should be "an error" instead of "a error" because the article "an" is used before a word starting with a vowel sound. In this case, "error" starts with a vowel sound, so "an" is appropriate.
Summary:
- Choice A (a): Incorrect due to the need for the article "an" before "error."
- Choice B (with): Used correctly in the sentence.
- Choice C (made): Used correctly in the sentence.
- Choice D (about it): Used correctly in the sentence.
