Epic Skills Assessment Verbal Reasoning & Comprehension Questions and Answers 2

Question 1

BENEVOLENT is to MALEVOLENT as TRANSPARENT is to ____.

Accepted Answer

Opaque

Answer

BENEVOLENT (good-willed) is the opposite of MALEVOLENT (evil-willed). TRANSPARENT (clear, see-through) is the opposite of OPAQUE.

Question 2

Which sentence contains a logical non sequitur?

Accepted Answer

The MRI showed no abnormalities, so the patient is healthy.

Answer

A normal MRI does not mean a patient is healthy — many conditions don't appear on MRI. This conclusion doesn't logically follow from the premise.

Question 3

Select the word that best completes the sentence: 'The physician's _____ note documented every aspect of the patient's condition in precise detail.'

Accepted Answer

comprehensive

Answer

'Comprehensive' means thorough and complete, matching 'every aspect' and 'precise detail.' 'Cursory' means brief/superficial, which contradicts the sentence.

Question 4

Read: 'Interoperability allows different healthcare systems to exchange and use patient data seamlessly.' What does 'interoperability' mean in this context?

Accepted Answer

The ability of different systems to work together and share data

Answer

The passage directly defines interoperability as systems exchanging and using data seamlessly — the ability of different systems to work together.

Question 5

Which of the following is an inference, not a fact stated in this passage: 'The clinic saw 200 patients this month, up from 150 last month.'

Accepted Answer

The clinic's services may be growing in demand

Answer

'Growing in demand' is an inference — a possible explanation for the increase, not a stated fact. The other options are directly stated or mathematically derived from stated facts.
