Appeared in: CGHS SSC - 2018

Explanation

  • The question asks to identify the host city of the XXIII Olympic Winter Games in February 2018.

  • This was the second Olympic Games held in South Korea, following the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option B: Turin, Italy, hosted the XX Winter Olympics in 2006, which is twelve years before the XXIII edition.
  • Option C: Beijing, China, hosted the XXIV Winter Olympics in 2022, which was the event immediately following the one in Pyeongchang.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain General Knowledge about International Sporting Events as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • While not a clinical question, general knowledge is part of the nursing exam syllabus and contributes to a well-rounded professional profile.
  • Awareness of major global events demonstrates a broader understanding of the world, which can be beneficial in multicultural patient interactions.
  • What if the question asked about the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympics? The answer would be Beijing (Summer 2008, Winter 2022).
How to Approach the Question
  • Identify the key information in the question: 'XXIII Olympic Winter Games' and 'February 2018'.
  • This is a factual recall question requiring knowledge of major international events.
  • Systematically evaluate each option based on the year.
  • Recall or deduce that Sochi (2014) was before, and Beijing (2022) was after.
  • Eliminate the incorrect options to arrive at the correct host city for 2018.
