1. A patient is prescribed 500 mg of a medication.
The available tablets are 250 mg each. How many
tablets should the nurse administer?
a) 1 tablet
b) 2 tablets
c) 3 tablets
d) 4 tablets
Correct Answer: b) 2 tablets
,Rationale: 500 mg ÷ 250 mg/tablet = 2 tablets. This
is a basic dosage calculation.
2. Convert 0.75 to a percentage.
a) 7.5%
b) 75%
c) 750%
d) 0.075%
Correct Answer: b) 75%
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage,
multiply by 100. 0.75 × 100 = 75%.
3. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 6
and 8?
a) 12
b) 24
c) 48
d) 36
Correct Answer: b) 24
Rationale: Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24. Multiples of
8: 8, 16, 24. The smallest common multiple is 24.
4. A nurse needs to infuse 1000 mL of normal saline
over 8 hours. The drop factor is 15 gtt/mL. What is
,the drip rate in gtt/min?
a) 31 gtt/min
b) 125 gtt/min
c) 21 gtt/min
d) 42 gtt/min
Correct Answer: a) 31 gtt/min
Rationale: Total time in minutes = 8 × 60 = 480
minutes. Drip rate = (1000 mL × 15 gtt/mL) ÷ 480
min = 15000 ÷ 480 = 31.25, rounded to 31 gtt/min.
5. Solve for x: 3(x + 4) = 2x - 6
a) x = -18
b) x = 6
c) x = -6
d) x = 18
Correct Answer: a) x = -18
Rationale: 3x + 12 = 2x - 6 → 3x - 2x = -6 - 12 → x = -
18.
6. What is the square root of 144?
a) 10
b) 11
c) 12
, d) 13
Correct Answer: c) 12
Rationale: 12 × 12 = 144.
7. A patient's temperature is 101.3°F. What is this in
Celsius?
a) 38.5°C
b) 39.0°C
c) 37.5°C
d) 40.0°C
Correct Answer: a) 38.5°C
Rationale: Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) × 5/9. (101.3 -
32) = 69.3; 69.3 × 5/9 = 38.5°C.
8. Which of the following is an improper fraction?
a) 3/4
b) 7/6
c) 1/2
d) 5/8
Correct Answer: b) 7/6
Rationale: An improper fraction has a numerator
larger than or equal to the denominator. 7/6 fits this
definition.
