,1. A physician orders 0.5 g of a medication. It is supplied in 125 mg tablets. How many tablets
should be given?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
Answer: C. 4 Rationale: 0.5 g = 500 mg. 500 ÷ 125 = 4 tablets. Always convert to matching
units before dividing.
2. A patient's weight drops from 96 kg to 84 kg. What is the percent decrease?
A. 10.5%
B. 12.5%
C. 14.3%
D. 16.7%
Answer: B. 12.5% Rationale: Change = 12 kg. 12 ÷ 96 (the ORIGINAL value) × 100 = 12.5%.
The most common error is dividing by the final value instead of the original.
3. During which phase of meiosis does crossing over (genetic recombination) occur?
A. Prophase II
B. Metaphase I
C. Prophase I
D. Anaphase II
Answer: C. Prophase I Rationale: Homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) and exchange
segments during Prophase I — this is the single most-tested meiosis fact on TEAS.
4. Which sentence is written in the active voice?
A. The medication was administered by the nurse.
,B. The nurse administered the medication.
C. The dosage was calculated by the pharmacist.
D. The chart was reviewed by the physician.
Answer: B Rationale: In active voice the subject performs the action directly ("the nurse
administered"). The other options all use "was ___ by," the passive-voice pattern.
5. Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood into systemic circulation?
A. Right atrium
B. Right ventricle
C. Left atrium
D. Left ventricle
Answer: D. Left ventricle Rationale: The left ventricle has the thickest muscular wall because it
must generate enough pressure to push oxygenated blood through the entire body via the aorta.
6. A solution is made by mixing 40 mL of a 10% solution with 60 mL of a 30% solution. What is
the concentration of the resulting mixture?
A. 18%
B. 20%
C. 22%
D. 24%
Answer: C. 22% Rationale: (40 × 0.10) + (60 × 0.30) = 4 + 18 = 22 mL solute ÷ 100 mL total
= 22%.
7. Which of the following best distinguishes a fact from an opinion in a passage?
A. Facts are always stated first.
B. Facts can be verified with objective evidence; opinions express judgment.
C. Opinions are always longer sentences.
,D. Facts never include numbers.
Answer: B Rationale: The defining feature of a fact is that it can be checked/verified; an opinion
reflects a belief or value judgment that cannot be objectively confirmed.
8. Which structure of the nephron is primarily responsible for filtration of blood?
A. Loop of Henle
B. Glomerulus
C. Collecting duct
D. Distal convoluted tubule
Answer: B. Glomerulus Rationale: The glomerulus is a capillary bed where blood pressure
forces water and solutes into Bowman's capsule — the first step of urine formation.
9. Identify the error: "Each of the nurses have completed their certification."
A. "Each" should be "All"
B. "have" should be "has"
C. "their" should be "his"
D. No error
Answer: B Rationale: "Each" is a singular indefinite pronoun and requires a singular verb:
"has completed."
10. A 15% tip is added to a $64 restaurant bill. What is the total bill including tip?
A. $70.60
B. $72.40
C. $73.60
D. $75.20
Answer: C. $73.60 Rationale: 15% of $64 = $9.60. $64 + $9.60 = $73.60.
,SECTION I — MATHEMATICS (20 Questions)
11. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.
A. 0.325
B. 0.375
C. 0.425
D. 0.475
Answer: B. 0.375 — 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375.
12. Solve for x: 5x − 9 = 26
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
Answer: C. 7 — 5x = 35, x = 7.
13. A rectangular room measures 14 ft by 10 ft. What is its area in square feet?
A. 120
B. 130
C. 140
D. 150
Answer: C. 140 — 14 × 10 = 140 sq ft.
, 14. Convert 4.2 kg to grams. A. 42 g B. 420 g C. 4,200 g D. 42,000 g
Answer: C. 4,200 g — 1 kg = 1,000 g; 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200 g.
15. What is 18% of 350?
A. 56
B. 59
C. 63
D. 66
Answer: C. 63 — 350 × 0.18 = 63.
16. A nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:6. If there are 5 nurses on shift, how many patients can be safely
covered?
A. 25
B. 30
C. 35
D. 40
Answer: B. 30 — 1 × 5 : 6 × 5 = 5:30.
17. Simplify: 2/3 + 1/4
A. 3/7
B. 5/12
C. 11/12
D. 7/12
Answer: C. 11/12 — 2/3 = 8/12; 1/4 = 3/12; 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12.
18. A patient receives an IV infusion of 1,000 mL over 8 hours. What is the hourly rate in
mL/hr?
