1. A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The urinary drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is 2 8-oz cups of coffee, 1 16-oz serving of clear soup, and 1 pint of water. How much is the deficit in milliliters?

A. 440 mL
B. 540 mL
C. 660 mL
D. 760 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 2 8-oz cups of coffee = 16 oz = 16 × 30 = 480 mL. 1 16-oz serving of clear soup = 16 × 30 = 480 mL. 1 pint of water = 16 oz = 480 mL. Total intake = 480 + 480 + 480 = 1,440 mL. Deficit = 1,440 mL (intake) - 1,000 mL (output) = 440 mL. Therefore, the deficit in milliliters is 440 mL. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 540 mL, is incorrect as it miscalculates the total intake. Choice C, 660 mL, is incorrect as it does not accurately subtract the output from the intake. Choice D, 760 mL, is incorrect as it overestimates the deficit by not considering the correct total intake and output values.

2. What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?

A. 91 r3
B. 81 r28
C. 81 r7
D. 9 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.

3. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

A. MCMIV
B. MCMVI
C. MDCCCCVI
D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.

A. 9:20 A.M.
B. 9:20 P.M.
C. 2:12 A.M.
D. 2:12 P.M.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.

5. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

A. 4,600
B. 5,520
C. 6,400
D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.
