Question 27

The nursing aide put the Band-aid on the wound to aid the nurse.

In this sentence, the appropriate order of words is "aide, aid, aid," which accurately depicts the roles and actions involved in the context of nursing.

A) aid, aide, aide

This option incorrectly places "aid" as the first word, which suggests a different meaning that does not fit the context of the sentence. "Aid" as a noun refers to assistance, but it does not describe a person within the nursing context.

B) aide, aid, aid

This option is correct because "aide" refers to the nursing assistant who is performing the action, followed by "aid" as both a verb and a noun, indicating the action of assisting the nurse. This maintains the proper structure and context for the sentence.

C) aid, aide, aid

Similar to option A, this choice incorrectly begins with "aid," which does not fit grammatically or contextually. It confuses the subject with a term that does not denote a person who assists in nursing.

D) aide, aid, aide

Although this option uses "aide" correctly, it does not provide a proper verb structure following the noun. The repetition of "aide" in this context is unnecessary and does not convey the intended meaning of the action being performed.

Conclusion

The correct answer, option B, effectively conveys the intended meaning of the sentence by correctly identifying the roles and actions within the nursing context. All other options fail to accurately represent the grammatical structure or the context needed for clarity in the sentence.
