Essential soft skills at workplace

Correct answer: C. Growth-oriented self-assessment

Correct answer: C. Growth-oriented self-assessment means examining one’s performance honestly and using feedback to improve. A general statement such as “Do better” is difficult to use because it does not show what happened, where the problem occurred, or what action should change. Asking for a specific example makes feedback observable and practical. The learner can then compare the example with the expected behaviour, identify a strength or weakness, and set a clear improvement goal. Option A is wrong because asking for evidence is not improper fear. Option B is wrong because the learner is actively seeking improvement, not avoiding work. Option C is correct because it connects feedback with self-reflection and development. Option D is wrong because a request for examples is not automatically insecurity. Memory cue: specific feedback turns criticism into an improvement plan.

Correct answer: A. They can disturb nutritional balance

High-calorie, low-nutrient foods may supply much energy from sugar or fat but provide relatively little protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Frequent use can displace nutrient-rich foods and contribute to excess weight or poor nutritional quality. Therefore, portions are limited and nutrient-dense choices are preferred according to the patient’s needs.

Correct answer: A. To improve confidence and professional presentation

Practice interviews help students organise their thoughts, explain their education and skills, answer questions clearly and communicate with professional confidence. Repeated practice also reveals weaknesses in listening, body language or clinical reasoning so they can improve before an actual interview. It does not justify sharing confidential records or making false claims. Thus, option A is correct.
