Objective: 1, 2
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 .
Rationale: 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. .

2. A Patient/Client Was Prescribed 240 Ml Of Ensure By Mouth And 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
Rationale: Subtract The Quantity Of Ensure The Client Consumed (1 0 0 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.
