Arrange the following values in ascending order (from least to greatest): 3/5, 0.65, 58%, 2/3.
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
To compare the values, convert them all to the same format, such as decimals.
3/5 = 0.60
0.65 = 0.65
58% = 0.58
2/3 ≈ 0.667
Now, arrange these decimals in ascending order: 0.58, 0.60, 0.65, 0.667. Matching these back to their original forms gives: 58%, 3/5, 0.65, 2/3. - 2
Case Study:
A medical clinic is conducting a health screening event. They are calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI) for participants. The formula for BMI is: BMI = (weight in kg) / (height in m)². One participant's height is measured as 6 feet 1 inch, and their weight is 200 pounds.
A nursing student is tasked with performing the calculation and follows a series of steps. The student knows the following conversion factors: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs, and 1 m = 100 cm. The student must present the final BMI rounded to one decimal place.
After performing the calculations, the student determines the BMI is 26.4. Which of the following values was an intermediate step in correctly calculating this BMI?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Let's verify the steps:
- Convert height to inches: (6 feet * 12 inches/foot) + 1 inch = 72 + 1 = 73 inches.
- Convert height in inches to meters: 73 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 185.42 cm. Then 185.42 cm / 100 cm/m = 1.8542 m.
- Square the height in meters: (1.8542 m)² ≈ 3.438 m² (This matches the option).
- Convert weight to kilograms: 200 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg ≈ 90.91 kg.
- Calculate BMI: 90.91 kg / 3.438 m² ≈ 26.44, which rounds to 26.4. The intermediate step of squaring the height to get approximately 3.44 is correct.

A cylindrical container in a laboratory has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 12 cm. What is the maximum volume of liquid it can hold? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h.
Given r = 5 cm and h = 12 cm.
V = (3.14) * (5 cm)² * (12 cm)
V = 3.14 * 25 cm² * 12 cm
V = 78.5 cm² * 12 cm
V = 942 cm³. - 4
A clinic's monthly expenses increased from $15,000 to $18,000. To cover this, the clinic must increase its revenue. If last month's revenue was $22,000, by what percentage must the revenue increase to match the new expenses, assuming profit remains constant?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
First, find the increase in expenses: $18,000 - $15,000 = $3,000. This is the amount the revenue must increase by. To find the percentage increase relative to the original revenue, use the formula: (Increase / Original Revenue) * 100. So, ($3,000 / $22,000) * 100 ≈ 0.1363 * 100 ≈ 13.6%.

A solution contains a salt to water ratio of 3:17. If you have 850 mL of water, how much salt (in mL) should you add to maintain the same ratio?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Set up a proportion using the given ratio of salt to water: 3/17 = x/850, where x is the amount of salt needed. Cross-multiply to solve for x: 17x = 3 * 850, which is 17x = 2550. Divide both sides by 17: x = 2550 / 17 = 150 mL.

A medical device is programmed to beep every 45 minutes. A second device is programmed to beep every 1 hour and 15 minutes. If they both beep together at 9:00 AM, at what time will they next beep together?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
This problem requires finding the least common multiple (LCM). First, convert both times to minutes. Device 1: 45 minutes. Device 2: 1 hour 15 minutes = 60 + 15 = 75 minutes. Find the LCM of 45 and 75.
Multiples of 45: 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, ...
Multiples of 75: 75, 150, 225, ...
The LCM is 225 minutes. Convert 225 minutes to hours and minutes: 225 / 60 = 3 with a remainder of 45. So, 3 hours and 45 minutes. Add this to the start time: 9:00 AM + 3 hours 45 minutes = 12:45 PM. - 7
True or False: If a patient's temperature is 39°C, their temperature in Fahrenheit is greater than 102°F. (Use the formula F = 1.8C + 32)
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Use the given formula to convert 39°C to Fahrenheit:
F = (1.8 * 39) + 32
F = 70.2 + 32
F = 102.2°F
Since 102.2°F is greater than 102°F, the statement is true. - 8
A pediatric nurse needs to administer a liquid medication based on a child's weight. The recommended dosage is 15 mg per kilogram of body weight. The child weighs 55 pounds. The medication is available in a concentration of 125 mg per 5 mL. How many milliliters of the medication should the nurse administer? (Use the conversion 1 kg = 2.2 lbs)
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
This is a multi-step problem. First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 55 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 25 kg. Next, calculate the total required dosage in mg: 25 kg * 15 mg/kg = 375 mg. Finally, use a proportion to find the volume in mL: (125 mg / 5 mL) = (375 mg / x mL). Cross-multiply to solve for x: 125x = 1875, so x = 1875 / 125 = 15 mL.

A hospital cafeteria is analyzing its daily soup sales. On a particular day, they sold 180 bowls of soup. 35% of the sales were Tomato soup, 1/4 were Chicken Noodle, and 1/6 were Lentil soup. The remaining bowls were Minestrone. How many bowls of Minestrone soup were sold?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the number of bowls for each known soup type:
Tomato: 0.35 * 180 = 63 bowls.
Chicken Noodle: (1/4) * 180 = 45 bowls.
Lentil: (1/6) * 180 = 30 bowls.
Total known soups: 63 + 45 + 30 = 138 bowls.
Subtract this from the total to find the Minestrone bowls: 180 - 138 = 42 bowls. - 10
A physical therapist is designing a recovery plan. The plan requires a patient to increase their walking distance by 10% each week. If the patient's starting distance in week 1 is 1.5 miles, what is the total distance they will have walked by the end of week 3?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Calculate the distance for each week and then sum them:
Week 1: 1.5 miles
Week 2: 1.5 * 1.10 = 1.65 miles
Week 3: 1.65 * 1.10 = 1.815 miles
Total distance = 1.5 + 1.65 + 1.815 = 4.965 miles.
