PARAGRAPH HEADINGS

The first step to becoming a nurse is getting a solid education, whether you hope to be a licensed
practical or vocational nurse (LPN/LVN), registered nurse (RN), or administrator. Every state requires
students to graduate from an accredited nursing program to become licensed.

PARAGRAPH HEADINGS:

 Get Licensed
 Become a Lifelong Learner
 Earn a Degree
 Choose a Nursing Path

Match the PARAGRAPH HEADINGS above to the following paragraphs:

Paragraph 1: ………………………….

Nursing can take you in many directions, from starting out as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) or staff
nurse to working your way up to nurse administrator.

When choosing your career path, think about the type of work environment you prefer. For example, RNs
can be found in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other medical settings, but certified nursing assistants
often work in nursing homes. What type of setting will inspire you most?

You should also consider what role you want to play. If you want to support medical staff as part of a
team, a CNA or LPN/LVN could suit you well. If you want to manage other nurses and assistants or oversee
systems, a career as an RN or advanced practice nurse is likely a good fit.

Because there are so many facets to healthcare, nurses often specialize in certain areas, such as geriatrics
or critical care. If you have a passion for a certain type of nursing, consider the type of education you’ll
need to get there.

Paragraph 2: ……………………………

The career path you’re interested in pursuing will typically dictate the type of nursing degree you’ll need.
Nursing programs include classroom instruction as well as clinical experience. Clinical training will allow
you to gain hands-on knowledge, ask questions in real-life scenarios, and connect with nurses. The
experience will also give you the chance to observe how a medical facility runs.

Before choosing a program, determine how nursing school will fit into your busy life. If your program is
on campus, will you have time to get there? Many bachelor and master’s degrees in nursing can be earned
online, with clinical requirements completed in a medical setting in your community.
Paragraph 3: ………………………

Once you complete your education, you’ll need to take an exam to demonstrate your knowledge and
nursing skills. Nurses also need to be licensed to practice, and exams are the prerequisite to licensing.

Paragraph 4: ……………………….

With new technologies and treatments, the healthcare industry is constantly evolving. Working on the
front lines of healthcare requires nurses to stay informed and educated so they can remain effective as
their responsibilities change. Nurses who pursue their careers from the perspective of lifelong learners
can take advantage of new opportunities and roles as they arise.

PART B. CRITICAL READING (TEXT ONE)

Can talking on a mobile phone be hazardous to your health? It is difficult to know for sure. Some research
suggests that heavy users of mobile phones are at a greater risk of developing cancerous brain tumors.
However, many other studies suggest there are no links between cancer and mobile phone use.

The main problem with the current research is that mobile phones have only been popular since the
1990s. As a result, it is impossible to study long-term exposure to mobile phones. This concerns many
health professionals who point out that certain cancers can take over twenty years to develop. Another
concern about these studies is that many have been funded by the mobile phone industry or those who
benefit from it.

Over five billion people now use mobile phones on a daily basis, and many talk for more than an hour a
day. Mobile phone antennas are similar to microwave ovens. While both rely on electromagnetic radiation
(EMR), the radio waves in mobile phones are lower in frequency. Microwave ovens have radio wave
frequencies that are high enough to cook food, and they are also known to be dangerous to human tissues
like those in the brain. The concern is that the lower-frequency radio waves that mobile phones rely on
may also be dangerous. It seems logical that holding a heat source near your brain for a long period of
time is a potential health hazard.

Some researchers believe that other types of wireless technology may also be dangerous to human health,
including cordless phones, wireless gaming consoles, and laptop or tablet computers with wireless
connections. They suggest replacing all cordless and wireless devices with wired ones where possible.
They also say that many cordless phones can emit dangerous levels of Electromagnetic Radiation even
when they are not in use. They even suggest keeping electronic devices such as desk-top and tablet
computers out of the bedroom, or at least six feet from the head while we're sleeping.

A growing number of health professionals worldwide are recommending that mobile phone users err on
the side of caution until more definitive studies can be conducted. They use the example of tobacco to
illustrate the potential risks. Many years ago, people smoked freely and were not concerned about the
effects of cigarettes on their health. Today, people know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, though it is
still unknown exactly how or why. Some doctors fear that the same thing will happen with mobile phones.
In May 2016, the UK's Independent newspaper reported on research by the US government's National
Toxicology Program that showed a slight increase in brain tumors among rats exposed to the type of radio
frequencies commonly emitted by mobile phones. This doesn't prove that mobile phones can cause brain
tumours in humans, but it does show that it's possible. As a result, many experts now recommend texting
or using headsets or speaker phones instead of holding a mobile phone to the ear.

PART C. READING COMPREHENSION (TEXT TWO)

Read attentively the following text.

Fasting is part and parcel of the practices of many religions including, Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
Today many are trying to dig up the benefits of fasting. Some people fast for spiritual reasons while others
fast as a way to physically discipline the body. Whatever reasons one might come up with, it has been
scientifically proved that fasting has tremendous health benefits.

First, fasting is said to play an important role in the detoxification of the body. Detoxification is a normal
body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph glands,
and skin. This process starts when fasting. Food no longer enters the body and the latter turns to fat
reserves for energy. These fat reserves were created when excess glucose and carbohydrates were not
used for energy or growth, not excreted, and therefore converted into fat. When the fat reserves are used
for energy during a fast, it releases the chemicals from the fatty acids into the system which are then
eliminated through the body organs, leading to the cleansing of the whole body.

Another known benefit of fasting is the healing process that is obvious in the body during a fast. When
fasting energy is diverted away from the digestive system due to its lack of use and towards the
metabolism and immune system. The healing process during a fast is made easy by the body's search for
energy sources. Abnormal growths within the body, tumors and the like, do not have the full support of
the body's supplies and therefore are more susceptible to disappear.

Fasting also leads to a feeling of rejuvenation and extended life expectancy. This might be due to the
detoxification effect of fasting. A study was performed on earthworms that showed the extension of life
thanks to fasting. The experiment was performed in the 1930s by isolating one worm and putting it on a
cycle of fasting and feeding. The isolated worm outlived the other worms by 19 generations, while still
maintaining its freshness and youthful physiological characteristics.

State the following statements are TRUE or FALSE, give your reasons. SCORE 10

1. People fast for only spiritual reasons.

2. One of the benefits of fasting is the dis-intoxication of the body.

3. The body turns to the fat reserves for energy when fasting.

4. The experiment on worms was undertaken to prove that fasting leads to the detoxification of the body.

5. By Fasting, we cannot control our feeling of rejuvenation and extended life expectancy.
