#5429. SAP is one of the leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems currently available at the market. SAP is a software system that was originally developed in Germany, and therefore, there is no surprise that its name is an acronym of several German words. Interestingly, during its early time SAP once changed the name but the acronym remained the same. The original SAP full form was the following: Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung, later Systeme, Anwendungen und Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung. What are the English translations?

Re: General Quiz

Hi bobbym,

The Answer

is correct. Excellent!

#5441. In humans, name the largest organ of the integumentary system.

#5442. Name the oath historically taken by physicians. It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear on a number of healing gods to uphold specific ethical standards. Of historic and traditional value, the oath is considered a rite of passage for practitioners of medicine in many countries, although nowadays the modernized version of the text varies among them.

#5443. State the pledge named in honour of  modified version of the #5442. It is a statement of the ethics and principles of the nursing profession. It included a vow to "abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous" and to "zealously seek to nurse those who are ill wherever they may be and whenever they are in need." In a 1935 revision to the pledge, Lystra Gretter widened the role of the nurse by including an oath to become a "missioner of health" dedicated to the advancement of "human welfare"—an expansion of nurses' bedside focus to an approach that encompassed public health.
