Nursing Elites

1. A nurse works in the military hospital from 1300 to 2000. How many hours does this nurse work?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 11 hours
• C. 7 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The nurse works from 1300 to 2000, which is a 7-hour period. To calculate the hours worked, subtract the start time from the end time: 2000 - 1300 = 700, which is equal to 7 hours. Choice A, 8 hours, is incorrect as it does not reflect the actual duration. Choice B, 11 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the hours worked. Choice D, 12 hours, is incorrect as it is also an overestimation of the hours worked.

2. What is 70% of 110?

• A. 77
• B. 79
• C. 81
• D. 83

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.

3. A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 150 miles
• C. 180 miles
• D. 170 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, multiply the speed of the car (60 miles per hour) by the time it traveled (2.5 hours): 60 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total distance traveled by the car.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 1310 hours.

• A. 1:10 A.M.
• B. 1:10 P.M.
• C. 1:31 A.M.
• D. 1:31 P.M.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, 1310 hours is equivalent to 1:10 P.M. However, in regular time, the conversion should have a colon between the hour and minutes, so the correct conversion is 1:31 P.M. Choice A (1:10 A.M.) and Choice C (1:31 A.M.) are incorrect as they both represent A.M. hours, while 1310 hours is in the afternoon (P.M.). Choice B (1:10 P.M.) is incorrect as it represents the hour correctly but lacks the accurate minutes representation.

5. 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.
