This lady just started last week and just tend to ask 20 questions a day instead of just listening and observing and taking notes. Nothing wrong with asking a question but not one after another constantly. I'm just trying to figure out why she has to ask so many when she is not expected to know everything in 7 days. Has anyone else been in this situation of being asked questions all day?

Yes. Not only have co-workers asked me question after question, there are some who have then argued with me over the answer.
What you have to do is make them answer - when they ask how something should be done for example, and you think they should already know, ask them what they think would be the way to do it, and when they answer, you tell them they are correct.
That's because asking and asking is a sign or not being sure so they need to be reassured that they actually know. Making them come up with the answer removes you as the crutch, builds their confidence.
If the questions are work related and cover different areas of the job there should be no issue. Except you've made one. Each employer does things a little bit differently so she may be trying to figure out the protocols there. Again, you're the one with the problem, not her.
If she is asking questions that means her trainer is not doing his job. Would that be you?
When will you realize these are "unspoken rules" because you make them up and expect everyone to follow. Life doesn't work that way. You need to go with the flow.

My thoughts exactly!
