Convert 2100 to standard time.
- A. 12:00 PM
- B. 2:00 AM
- C. 9:00 PM
- D. 2:00 PM
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. To convert 2100 hours to standard time, subtract 1200 from the time if it is greater than or equal to 1300. In this case, 2100 - 1200 = 900, which corresponds to 9:00 PM in standard time. Choice A, 12:00 PM, is incorrect because 2100 is in the evening, not noon. Choice B, 2:00 AM, is incorrect as it represents the early morning hours. Choice D, 2:00 PM, is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not the evening.

A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is: 2 8oz cups of coffee, 1 16-oz serving of clear soup, and 1 pint of water consumed throughout the day. How much is the deficit in milliliters?
- A. 440 mL
- B. 500 mL
- C. 480 mL
- D. 300 mL
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, convert all fluid intake to milliliters:
2 8-oz cups of coffee = 8 2 30 = 480 mL
1 16-oz serving of clear soup = 16 30 = 480 mL
1 pint of water = 16 30 = 480 mL
Total intake = 480 + 480 + 480 = 1440 mL.
The patient produced 1,000 mL, so the deficit is:
1440 mL - 1000 mL = 440 mL.
Therefore, the deficit in milliliters is 440 mL. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate deficit calculated based on the total intake and output provided in the question.
How many gallons are in 3 fluid ounces?
- A. 0.0234 gallons
- B. 0.5 gallons
- C. 0.38 gallons
- D. 0.12 gallons
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by 128 because there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon. Therefore, 3 fluid ounces · 128 equals approximately 0.0234 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B (0.5 gallons) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 64 fluid ounces, not 3. Choice C (0.38 gallons) and Choice D (0.12 gallons) are also incorrect conversions of 3 fluid ounces to gallons.
The recipe states that 4 cups of sugar will make 120 cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed to make 90 cookies?
- A. 3 cups
- B. 2 cups
- C. 1.5 cups
- D. 4 cups
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find out how many cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies when 4 cups make 120 cookies, set up a proportion: 4/120 = x/90. Cross multiply to get 120x = 4 * 90. Solve for x to find x = 360/120 = 3. Therefore, 3 cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies.
Choice B (2 cups), Choice C (1.5 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct proportion calculation. The correct calculation shows that 3 cups of sugar are required for 90 cookies, as the recipe proportionally reduces when making fewer cookies.
Solve for x. x/250 = 3/500
- A. 1.5
- B. 2
- C. 1500
- D. 25
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion x/250 = 3/500, cross multiply to get 500x = 750. Then solve for x by dividing both sides by 500, which results in x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
Choice B (2) is incorrect because the correct solution is 1.5, not 2. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of the proportion. Choice D (25) is incorrect and does not match the correct solution obtained by solving the proportion.
A person consumed 75 grams of protein. This is 30% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for protein. How many grams of protein does the person need to consume to meet the full RDI?
- A. 250 grams
- B. 225 grams
- C. 260 grams
- D. 300 grams
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 · 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.
