Read the first 7 Reading: Workplace Text Comprehension flashcards as text

  1. A guideline reads: 'Patients scoring 3 or above on the early warning score require medical review.' A patient scores 2. What is indicated?

    Answer: No mandatory medical review under this rule

    A score of 2 is below the threshold of 3, so the review trigger is not met.

  2. A notice states: 'Parking permits are valid Monday to Friday only.' On which day is a permit invalid?

    Answer: Saturday

    Saturday falls outside the Monday-to-Friday validity period.

  3. An instruction reads: 'Complete sections A and B; section C is optional.' Which sections MUST be completed?

    Answer: A and B

    Sections A and B are required while C is optional, so both A and B must be done.

  4. A circular says: 'Mandatory training must be renewed every two years.' A staff member last trained in June 2024. When is renewal due?

    Answer: June 2026

    Adding two years to June 2024 gives June 2026 as the renewal date.

  5. A sign reads: 'This corridor is for staff and authorised visitors only.' Who may NOT use the corridor?

    Answer: Unauthorised members of the public

    Only staff and authorised visitors are permitted, excluding unauthorised public.

  6. A protocol states: 'If a sample is haemolysed, reject it and request a fresh specimen.' What should be done with a haemolysed sample?

    Answer: Reject it and request a new one

    The protocol directs rejection of the sample and collection of a fresh specimen.

  7. A memo notes: 'Overtime is paid only when pre-approved by a line manager.' An employee works extra hours without approval. What is the result?

    Answer: The overtime is not eligible for payment

    Without prior approval the condition for payment is unmet, so the overtime is not paid.
