Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the sentence contains a sequence error. The action of trimming nails should logically come before bathing. The correct sequence should be "The nurse decided to trim his nails, then bathe the client." Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct as they have proper subject-verb agreement, clear sentence structure, and logical sequencing of events.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Complication. A complication is an undesired problem that arises as a result of another event. It is something that adds difficulty or complexity to a situation. In contrast, B: Complement means something that completes or goes well with something else. C: Procedures refer to a series of steps or actions to achieve a specific goal, not necessarily an undesired problem. D: Implemented means put into effect, which is not directly related to an undesired problem resulting from another event.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: stealthy. 'Insidious' means proceeding in a gradual, subtle way but with harmful effects. This aligns with the definition of stealthy. The word 'deadly' (B) is close but doesn't capture the gradual aspect. 'Collapsed' (C) and 'new' (D) are completely unrelated and do not fit the definition of 'insidious.'
