Question 1
Which area-to-concern link is the most accurate for distinguishing Academic Writing and Research
Skills, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Healthcare, Disease, Infection, and Immunity, and
Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare?
A. Disease, Infection, and Immunity — Interpretation of medical statistics, graphs, and basic
quantitative research data
B. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Healthcare — Human body defence mechanisms and
immune responses (innate and adaptive immunity)
C. Academic Writing and Research Skills — Information sourcing, critical evaluation of literature, and
academic referencing protocols (e.g., Harvard style)
D. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare — Assessment and evaluation of National Health
Service (NHS) policies and institutional practices in promoting equity of care
Correct Answer: C
Full Explanation:
Academic Writing and Research Skills includes information sourcing, critical evaluation of literature, and
academic referencing protocols (e.g., Harvard style). A: The stated concern belongs most directly with
Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare, not Disease, Infection, and Immunity. B: The stated
concern belongs most directly with Disease, Infection, and Immunity, not Equality, Diversity, and
Inclusion (EDI) in Healthcare. D: The stated concern belongs most directly with Equality, Diversity, and
Inclusion (EDI) in Healthcare, not Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare.
Question 2
Match three concerns to their most directly relevant areas: (1) Drug dosage calculations, fluid
balance measurements, and metric conversions; (2) Information sourcing, critical evaluation of
literature, and academic referencing protocols (e.g., Harvard style); (3) Concepts of mental health
vs. mental ill-health. Which ordering is correct?
A. Academic Writing and Research Skills / Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare / Mental Health
and Well-being
B. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare / Academic Writing and Research Skills / Mental Health
and Well-being
C. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare / Mental Health and Well-being / Academic Writing and
Research Skills
D. Mental Health and Well-being / Academic Writing and Research Skills / Numeracy and Data Analysis
for Healthcare
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare includes drug dosage calculations, fluid balance
measurements, and metric conversions. Academic Writing and Research Skills includes information
sourcing, critical evaluation of literature, and academic referencing protocols (e.g., Harvard style).
Mental Health and Well-being includes concepts of mental health vs. mental ill-health. A: The first two
associations are reversed; they should be Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare and Academic
Writing and Research Skills. C: The second and third associations are reversed; they should be
Academic Writing and Research Skills and Mental Health and Well-being. D: The first and third
associations are reversed; they should be Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare and Mental
Health and Well-being.

Question 3
A comparison of Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare and Midwifery and Maternal Health
Studies needs one representative concern for each. Which pairing gives both sides an appropriate
focus?
A. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare: Professional regulation, accountability, codes of
conduct, and ethics in healthcare | Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies: The role of the midwife
within contemporary maternity services
B. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare: Drug dosage calculations, fluid balance
measurements, and metric conversions | Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies: The role of the
midwife within contemporary maternity services
C. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare: Drug dosage calculations, fluid balance
measurements, and metric conversions | Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies: Structuring
essays, research reports, and academic arguments
D. Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare: The role of the midwife within contemporary maternity
services | Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies: Drug dosage calculations, fluid balance
measurements, and metric conversions
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare includes drug dosage calculations, fluid balance
measurements, and metric conversions. Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies includes the role of the
midwife within contemporary maternity services. A: The first concern is drawn from Roles and
Responsibilities of Health Care Professionals (Mandatory Graded Component), not Numeracy and Data
Analysis for Healthcare. C: The second concern is drawn from Academic Writing and Research Skills,
not Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies. D: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits
Numeracy and Data Analysis for Healthcare, and the second fits Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies.
Question 4
An integrated review must address Active listening, barriers to communication, and managing
sensitive clinical conversations as well as Theoretical explanations of poverty, health stratification,
and social class. Which two areas together provide the closest fit?
A. Communication in Healthcare and Sociology of Health and Social Welfare
B. Mental Health and Well-being and Roles and Responsibilities of Health Care Professionals
(Mandatory Graded Component)
C. Roles and Responsibilities of Health Care Professionals (Mandatory Graded Component) and
Sociology of Health and Social Welfare
D. Communication in Healthcare and Mental Health and Well-being
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Communication in Healthcare includes active listening, barriers to communication, and managing
sensitive clinical conversations. Sociology of Health and Social Welfare includes theoretical
explanations of poverty, health stratification, and social class. B: Neither selected area is the closest
match for the two stated concerns. C: This retains Sociology of Health and Social Welfare but replaces
the needed Communication in Healthcare focus with Roles and Responsibilities of Health Care
Professionals (Mandatory Graded Component). D: This retains Communication in Healthcare but
replaces the needed Sociology of Health and Social Welfare focus with Mental Health and Well-being.

Question 5
Two cases concern (1) The role of the midwife within contemporary maternity services and (2)
Cellular biology, tissue types, and basic biochemical processes. Which pair identifies the most
directly relevant areas in the same order?
A. Human Physiology and Anatomy; then Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies
B. Human Physiology and Anatomy; then Human Physiology and Anatomy
C. Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies; then Human Physiology and Anatomy
D. Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies; then Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies
Correct Answer: C
Full Explanation:
Midwifery and Maternal Health Studies includes the role of the midwife within contemporary maternity
services. Human Physiology and Anatomy includes cellular biology, tissue types, and basic biochemical
processes. A: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Midwifery and Maternal Health
Studies, and the second fits Human Physiology and Anatomy. B: The first concern fits Midwifery and
Maternal Health Studies, so assigning both to Human Physiology and Anatomy loses the distinction. D:
The second concern fits Human Physiology and Anatomy, so assigning both to Midwifery and Maternal
Health Studies loses the distinction.
Question 6
Which pair correctly separates the subject of "Nutritional deficiencies, excesses, and links to
chronic health conditions (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease)" from the subject of
"Causes, transmission, and classification of different pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi,
parasites)" rather than assigning both to the same area?
A. Human Nutrition and Digestion; then Disease, Infection, and Immunity
B. Human Nutrition and Digestion; then Human Nutrition and Digestion
C. Disease, Infection, and Immunity; then Human Nutrition and Digestion
D. Disease, Infection, and Immunity; then Disease, Infection, and Immunity
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Human Nutrition and Digestion includes nutritional deficiencies, excesses, and links to chronic health
conditions (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Disease, Infection, and Immunity includes
causes, transmission, and classification of different pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites). B:
The second concern fits Disease, Infection, and Immunity, so assigning both to Human Nutrition and
Digestion loses the distinction. C: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Human Nutrition
and Digestion, and the second fits Disease, Infection, and Immunity. D: The first concern fits Human
Nutrition and Digestion, so assigning both to Disease, Infection, and Immunity loses the distinction.
