MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A patient/client was instructed to drink 25 oz of water within 2 hours but was only able to drink 15
oz. What portion of the water remained?
a. 2/5
b. 3/5
c. 2/25
d. 25/25
ANS: A
Feedback: Subtract the quantity of water the client drank (15 oz) from the total available quantity
(25 oz): 10 oz remain. To determine the portion of the water that remains, create a fraction by
dividing 10 oz (remaining portion) by 25 oz (total portion). Therefore, 10 divided by 25 = 10/25. To
reduce fractions, find the largest number that can be divided evenly into the numerator and the
denominator
(5). Ten divided by 5 (10/5) = 2; 25/5 = 5. The fraction 10/25 can be reduced to its lowest terms of
2/5.
Format: MULTIPLE CHOICE
CHAPTER: 1
Client Needs: Physiological Integrity: Basic Care and Comfort
Cognitive Level: Apply
Difficulty: Moderate
Page and Header: 2, Dividing Whole Numbers; 3, Fractions
Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning
Objective: 1, 2
2. A patient/client was prescribed 240 W
mW f ETnB
LWo. suSreMb.yWmSouth as a supplement but consumed only
100 mL. What portion of the Ensure remained?
a. 5/12
b. 7/12
c. 100/240
d. 240/240
ANS: B
Feedback: Subtract the quantity of Ensure the client consumed (100 mL) from the total available
quantity (240 mL): 140 mL remain. To determine the portion of the Ensure that remains, create a
fraction by dividing 140 mL (remaining portion) by 240 mL (total portion). Therefore, 140 divided
by 240 = 7/12. To reduce fractions, find the largest number that can be divided evenly into the
numerator and the denominator (20); 140 divided by 20 (140/20) = 7; 240/20 = 12. The fraction
140/240 can be reduced to its lowest terms of 7/12.
