NHM MP Staff Nurse-2022
English
Easy
Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank. She's such a ______ that she can eat the whole cake.
Appeared in: NHM MP Staff Nurse-2022
Explanation
- The word 'glutton' refers to a person who eats excessively or greedily.
- The context clue 'can eat the whole cake' directly points to the act of excessive eating, making 'glutton' the most fitting word to complete the sentence.
- While not a formal diagnosis, the term describes a behavior of excessive consumption, similar to behaviors seen in Binge Eating Disorder (BED), which involves eating large amounts of food with a feeling of loss of control (SRC_25194).
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: A 'delinquent' is a person, usually young, who commits minor crimes. This term is related to legal or social misconduct, not eating habits.
- Option B: 'Errant' means straying from the proper course or standards of behavior. While overeating could be seen as a type of misbehavior, 'glutton' is a much more specific and fitting term for excessive eating.
- Option D: 'Guilty' means being responsible for a wrongdoing or offense. The sentence is descriptive of a person's eating capacity, not assigning blame for a crime or moral failing. While someone might feel guilty after overeating, the word itself doesn't describe the person's characteristic of eating a lot.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Vocabulary and Contextual Understanding as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- While this is an English vocabulary question, precise communication is vital in nursing. Using the correct word ensures that patient histories, symptoms, and care plans are understood without ambiguity.
- For example, describing a patient's eating pattern as 'polyphagia' (pathologic overeating) versus simply having a 'good appetite' has different clinical implications and requires different follow-up questions (SRC_25193).
- Understanding terms related to eating is crucial when assessing for eating disorders like Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or Bulimia Nervosa (SRC_25192).
How to Approach the Question
- First, read the sentence carefully to understand its overall meaning: 'She's such a ______ that she can eat the whole cake.'
- Identify the key context clue. Here, the phrase 'can eat the whole cake' strongly suggests the concept of excessive eating.
- Evaluate each option based on its definition and how well it fits the identified context.
- Consider 'Delinquent' (relates to crime), 'Errant' (relates to general misbehavior), and 'Guilty' (relates to responsibility for a wrong). None of these specifically relate to eating.
- Consider 'Glutton,' which specifically means an excessive eater. This is a perfect match for the context clue.
- Select the word that most precisely and directly fits the context. In this case, 'glutton' is the only word that specifically describes someone who eats excessively.
