What does the term "feasible" mean?

  1. Impractical

  2. Workable

  3. Theoretical

  4. Unattainable

The correct answer is: Workable

The term "feasible" refers to something that is practical and capable of being done or achieved. When a plan, project, or idea is described as feasible, it means that it is realistic and can be carried out successfully under the given circumstances. This often involves considerations of time, resources, and conditions that must be met for successful implementation. In contexts such as nursing and healthcare, determining the feasibility of a treatment plan or intervention is crucial to ensure that it can be effectively executed. The other terms—impractical, theoretical, and unattainable—convey meanings that are opposite to what is meant by "feasible." Impractical suggests something that cannot be realized in a practical manner, theoretical relates more to concepts that may not be grounded in real-world application, and unattainable indicates an objective that cannot be reached or achieved. Each of these terms underscores limitations while "feasible" highlights potential for action and effectiveness.
