Sample TEAS 7 practice questions

Review six worked sample questions with answer choices and explanations before entering your email to unlock all 170 interactive questions.

Sample 1 · Key Ideas and Details

Patients often have medicines added or changed when they are admitted to a hospital, moved from one unit to another, or sent home. Most of these changes are made on purpose, but unintended changes happen often. Hospital clinicians may not have easy access to the full list of medicines a patient took before admission, or may not know about a recent change. The regimen prescribed at discharge can then leave out a needed medicine, duplicate a therapy the patient already takes, or contain a wrong dose. Medication reconciliation is the process meant to avoid these mismatches: the patient's complete list of medicines is reviewed at admission, transfer, and discharge and compared with what is planned for the next setting of care.

Which statement best captures the main point of the excerpt?

  1. A. The regimen prescribed at discharge can duplicate a therapy the patient already takes
  2. B. Medication changes at admission, transfer, and discharge can introduce unintended changes, and medication reconciliation is the review meant to avoid them
  3. C. Most medication changes made during a hospital stay are mistakes
  4. D. Medication reconciliation has been shown to reduce hospital readmissions

Answer: B. The excerpt first explains how unintended medication changes arise when a patient is admitted, transferred, or discharged, then defines medication reconciliation as the review meant to avoid them. Only this option covers both ideas.

  • A (Incorrect): This is one supporting detail from the fourth sentence. It leaves out how the unintended changes arise and the reconciliation process, so it is not the main point.
  • B (Correct): The first four sentences explain how unintended changes happen when a patient moves between settings of care, and the last sentence presents reconciliation as the process meant to avoid them. This statement covers both parts.
  • C (Incorrect): The excerpt says the opposite: most changes are made on purpose, and the unintended ones are the problem.
  • D (Incorrect): The excerpt describes what reconciliation is and why it is done. It makes no claim about readmissions or any other measured result.

Sample 2 · Numbers and Algebra

An outpatient clinic expands daily telehealth scheduling from 40 appointments to 52 appointments. What is the percentage increase in daily capacity?

  1. A. 12%
  2. B. 23.1%
  3. C. 30%
  4. D. 76.9%

Answer: C. Always divide the net increase (52 - 40 = 12) by the original baseline (40) before converting 0.3 to 30%.

  • A (Incorrect): 12 is the absolute change in appointment count, not a percentage of the original baseline of 40.
  • B (Incorrect): Dividing the 12-slot increase by the new total of 52 (12 / 52 = 23.1%) uses the final capacity rather than the original 40-appointment baseline.
  • C (Correct): Percentage increase = (52 - 40) / 40 = 12 / 40 = 0.3, or 30%.
  • D (Incorrect): Computing 40 / 52 measures baseline capacity as a fraction of expanded capacity rather than percentage growth.

Sample 3 · Human Anatomy and Physiology

Inside a renal nephron, which tubular segment receives filtrate directly from Bowman capsule and reabsorbs the largest share of filtered water, sodium, and glucose?

  1. A. Proximal convoluted tubule
  2. B. Ascending limb of the loop of Henle
  3. C. Distal convoluted tubule
  4. D. Medullary collecting duct

Answer: A. The proximal convoluted tubule immediately follows Bowman capsule and carries out bulk reabsorption of filtered water, electrolytes, and nutrients.

  • A (Correct): Filtrate leaves Bowman space directly into the proximal convoluted tubule, whose microvilli brush border reabsorbs roughly two-thirds of water and solutes plus essentially all filtered glucose.
  • B (Incorrect): The thick ascending limb pumps Na+, K+, and Cl- outward without water permeability downstream of the descending limb.
  • C (Incorrect): The distal convoluted tubule performs fine-tuned hormonally regulated electrolyte adjustment after the loop of Henle.
  • D (Incorrect): The collecting duct sits last along the nephron and regulates final urine concentration primarily under antidiuretic hormone.

Sample 4 · Chemistry

Using the blood bicarbonate buffer equilibrium (CO2 + H2O <-> H2CO3 <-> H+ + HCO3-), what acute acid-base shift occurs when sustained hypoventilation retains arterial carbon dioxide?

  1. A. Equilibrium shifts left, consuming free hydrogen ions and pushing arterial blood pH above 7.45
  2. B. Equilibrium shifts right, and the extra bicarbonate makes arterial blood more basic, raising its pH
  3. C. The buffer fully offsets the retained carbon dioxide, so arterial blood pH does not change
  4. D. Equilibrium shifts right, raising free hydrogen ion concentration and lowering arterial blood pH

Answer: D. By Le Chatelier's principle, retained CO2 is a stress that shifts the equilibrium to the right, toward H+ and HCO3-, so blood pH falls.

  • A (Incorrect): Leftward shifts occur during hyperventilation (blowing off CO2), which decreases H+ and causes respiratory alkalosis.
  • B (Incorrect): The shift to the right releases a hydrogen ion along with each bicarbonate ion. The net result of excess CO2 is additional carbonic acid and a lower blood pH.
  • C (Incorrect): A buffer keeps a pH change small; it does not prevent one. When the CO2 level in blood rises, the excess forms additional carbonic acid and blood pH falls.
  • D (Correct): Retained CO2 drives carbonic acid formation and dissociation to the right, increasing H+ ions and producing acute respiratory acidosis (lower pH).

Sample 5 · Scientific Reasoning

A clinical team tests whether an active antiseptic gel reduces skin flora more than plain soap washing. One group washes with soap plus active antiseptic gel, and the control group washes with soap plus an inactive placebo gel base. Why include the inactive gel base?

  1. A. To give the control group an effective treatment, so that no volunteer goes without the antiseptic
  2. B. To make sure the two groups carry the same amount of skin flora before washing
  3. C. To isolate the antimicrobial effect of the active agent from handwashing friction and inert gel carriers
  4. D. To show how much skin flora remains when volunteers do not wash at all

Answer: C. The inactive gel keeps everything except the active antiseptic the same in both groups, so a larger drop in skin flora in the antiseptic group can be attributed to the antiseptic.

  • A (Incorrect): The gel base is inactive, so the control group gets no antiseptic. A control group is treated like the experimental group except that it does not receive the treatment being tested.
  • B (Incorrect): A placebo gel cannot change what is on the skin before the wash. Assigning volunteers to groups at random is the step that makes systematic differences between the groups unlikely.
  • C (Correct): Matching soap scrubbing and the inactive carrier isolates the active antiseptic chemical as the sole systematic difference between groups.
  • D (Incorrect): The control group still washes with soap. It differs from the experimental group only in lacking the active antiseptic, so it cannot show the result of not washing.

Sample 6 · Conventions of Standard English

Which sentence follows standard subject-verb agreement rules?

  1. A. A tray of sterile syringes and dressing sponges sit beside the central-line procedure cart.
  2. B. Neither the evening pharmacists nor the charge nurse have signed the controlled-substance log.
  3. C. Every student across both morning clinical rotation groups are reviewing vital-sign documentation.
  4. D. Neither the charge nurse nor the evening pharmacists have signed the controlled-substance log.

Answer: D. Compound subjects joined by 'neither...nor' match the nearer noun ('pharmacists' -> 'have'), while singular head nouns take singular verbs.

  • A (Incorrect): The grammatical subject is the singular noun 'tray,' ignoring the prepositional phrase, so the verb should be 'sits.'
  • B (Incorrect): Here the closer subject after 'nor' is singular ('the charge nurse'), which requires the singular verb 'has.'
  • C (Incorrect): The indefinite marker 'every' takes a singular verb ('is reviewing'), regardless of plural nouns in the modifying phrase.
  • D (Correct): With 'neither...nor,' the verb agrees with the closer subject ('pharmacists,' plural), making 'have' correct.
