Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 · 12 =
- A. 372
- B. 384
- C. 396
- D. 412
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 · 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

What is the product of 375 and 2.3?
- A. 862.5
- B. 750
- C. 225.75
- D. 1125
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the product of 375 and 2.3, multiply them: 375 2.3 = 862.5. When multiplying by 2.3, it is important to shift the decimal point appropriately after performing the calculation. Choice A, 862.5, is the correct answer. Choice B, 750, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 375 by 2. Choice C, 225.75, is incorrect as it appears to be the result of multiplying the numbers in the wrong order. Choice D, 1125, is incorrect as it seems to be the result of multiplying 375 by 3 instead of 2.3.
Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8
- A. 0.7
- B. 0.325
- C. 0.625
- D. 5.8
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 · 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.
The formula for calculating heart rate is HR = (220 - age) x 0.65. If a patient's heart rate is 136.5, what is their age?
- A. 30
- B. 40
- C. 50
- D. 60
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale:
Given formula: HR = (220 - age) * 0.65
Given heart rate: HR = 136.5
Substitute the given heart rate into the formula:
136.5 = (220 - age) * 0.65
Solve for age:
136.5 = 143 - 0.65age
0.65age = 143 - 136.5
0.65age = 6.5
age = 6.5 / 0.65
age = 10
Therefore, the patient's age is 50 (option C).
A medication order is for 250 micrograms of a drug to be administered subcutaneously. The available syringe measures in milliliters. How many milliliters should the healthcare professional draw up?
- A. 0.00025 milliliters
- B. 0.0025 milliliters
- C. 0.025 milliliters
- D. 0.25 milliliters
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1000 micrograms (mcg). Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are needed for 250 micrograms: 250 mcg · 1000 = 0.25 mL. So, the healthcare professional should draw up 0.25 milliliters of the drug to administer 250 micrograms subcutaneously.
Choice A, 0.00025 milliliters, is incorrect as it is too small a volume for the required dosage. Choice B, 0.0025 milliliters, is also too small. Choice C, 0.025 milliliters, is 100 times greater than the correct answer of 0.25 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.25 milliliters.
A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 10 mL
- B. 15 mL
- C. 20 mL
- D. 25 mL
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.
