SECTION 1: NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS
Question 1: A nurse needs to administer 0.75 mg of a medication. The pharmacy provides the
medication in 0.25 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
A) 2 tablets
B) 3 tablets
C) 4 tablets
D) 1.5 tablets
Correct Answer: B) 3 tablets
, Page |2
To determine the number of tablets, divide the prescribed dose by the available dose: 0.75 mg
÷ 0.25 mg = 3 tablets. This calculation ensures the correct dosage is administered.
Question 2: Convert the fraction 3/8 to a decimal.
A) 0.375
B) 0.38
C) 0.125
D) 0.625
Correct Answer: A) 0.375
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375.
This conversion is essential for accurate medication calculations.
Question 3: A patient's temperature is recorded as 38.6°C. Convert this temperature to
Fahrenheit using the formula °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.
A) 101.5°F
B) 100.4°F
C) 99.7°F
D) 102.2°F
Correct Answer: A) 101.5°F
Using the formula: °F = (38.6 × 9/5) + 32 = (38.6 × 1.8) + 32 = 69.48 + 32 = 101.48°F,
which rounds to 101.5°F. Temperature conversion is a common nursing calculation.
Question 4: Simplify the expression: 5 + 3 × (8 - 2)² ÷ 4
A) 32
B) 14
C) 23
D) 41
Correct Answer: A) 32
Following order of operations (PEMDAS): First, solve parentheses: 8 - 2 = 6. Then
exponents: 6² = 36. Then multiplication/division from left to right: 3 × 36 = 108, then 108 ÷
4 = 27. Finally, addition: 5 + 27 = 32.
Question 5: A medication order reads 1,500 mg. The medication is available as 500 mg per
tablet. How many tablets should be administered?
A) 2 tablets
, Page |3
B) 3 tablets
C) 4 tablets
D) 2.5 tablets
Correct Answer: B) 3 tablets
Divide the prescribed dose by the available dose: 1,500 mg ÷ 500 mg = 3 tablets. This
calculation ensures the correct amount of medication is given.
Question 6: What is 25% of 240?
A) 48
B) 60
C) 72
D) 36
Correct Answer: B) 60
To find 25% of 240, convert the percentage to a decimal (0.25) and multiply: 0.25 × 240 =
60. Alternatively, 25% is one-fourth, so 240 ÷ 4 = 60.
Question 7: A nurse works 12-hour shifts. If the nurse works 3 shifts per week, how many
hours does the nurse work in 4 weeks?
A) 144 hours
B) 120 hours
C) 132 hours
D) 156 hours
Correct Answer: A) 144 hours
Calculate total hours: 12 hours/shift × 3 shifts/week × 4 weeks = 144 hours. This calculation
is essential for tracking work hours and scheduling.
Question 8: Convert 0.625 to a fraction in simplest form.
A) 5/8
B) 3/4
C) 5/6
D) 7/8
Correct Answer: A) 5/8
To convert 0.625 to a fraction: 625/1000. Simplify by dividing both numerator and
denominator by 125: 625 ÷ 125 = 5, and 1000 ÷ 125 = 8. Therefore, 0.625 = 5/8.
