1. A nurse must administer 0.6 mg of a medication. The vial
contains 2 mg/mL. How many mL will the nurse give?
A. 0.2 mL
B. 0.3 mL
C. 0.4 mL
D. 0.6 mL
Answer: B
Rationale: Dose ÷ concentration = 0.6 ÷ 2 = 0.3 mL.
2. A patient weighs 154 lbs. Convert to kilograms. (1 kg = 2.2
lbs)
A. 69.5 kg
B. 70 kg
C. 67.5 kg
D. 68.5 kg
Answer: A
,2
Rationale: 154 ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg? 154 ÷ 2.2 = 70 Wait carefully:
154 ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg. Answer: B
3. A prescription reads: 0.75 g every 8 hours. How many mg will
the patient receive in 24 hours?
A. 1500 mg
B. 2250 mg
C. 2500 mg
D. 3000 mg
Answer: B
Rationale: 0.75 g = 750 mg, 3 doses/day → 750 × 3 = 2250 mg.
4. Solve for x: 4(2x − 3) = 20
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
Answer: B
Rationale: 8x − 12 = 20 → 8x = 32 → x = 4 Wait: check
carefully. 8x − 12 = 20 → 8x = 32 → x = 4 Answer: C.
5. A 1:5 dilution of a drug is needed. How many mL of stock
solution is required to make 30 mL of solution?
A. 5 mL
B. 6 mL
C. 4 mL
D. 3 mL
,3
Answer: B
Rationale: 1 part stock + 4 parts diluent = 5 parts total → 30 ÷ 5
= 6 mL stock.
6. An IV of 1500 mL is to run over 7 hours. Calculate the flow
rate in mL/hr.
A. 214 mL/hr
B. 215 mL/hr
C. 220 mL/hr
D. 210 mL/hr
Answer: B
Rationale: 1500 ÷ 7 = 214.29 ≈ 215 mL/hr.
7. Convert 75 mg to micrograms.
A. 7.5 × 10³ μg
B. 7.5 × 10⁴ μg
C. 7.5 × 10⁵ μg
D. 7.5 × 10⁶ μg
Answer: C
Rationale: 1 mg = 1000 μg → 75 × 1000 = 75,000 μg = 7.5 × 10⁴
→ Wait, carefully: 75,000 μg = 7.5 × 10⁴ Answer: B
8. A drug order is 0.125 g. Available tablet strength = 250 mg.
How many tablets should be given?
A. 0.25
B. 0.5
C. 1
, 4
D. 2
Answer: B
Rationale: 0.125 g = 125 mg → 125 ÷ 250 = 0.5 tablet.
9. A patient receives 3 L of fluid over 24 hours. Calculate mL/hr.
A. 120 mL/hr
B. 125 mL/hr
C. 130 mL/hr
D. 140 mL/hr
Answer: B
Rationale: 3 L = 3000 mL → 3000 ÷ 24 = 125 mL/hr.
10. A patient weighing 132 lbs requires 15 mg/kg of a drug.
How many mg will they receive?
A. 900 mg
B. 880 mg
C. 950 mg
D. 910 mg
Answer: A
Rationale: 132 ÷ 2.2 = 60 kg → 60 × 15 = 900 mg.
11. Solve for y: 3y/4 − 5 = 7
A. 12
B. 14
C. 16
D. 18
