1. What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

• A. 20.73
• B. 21.3
• C. 22
• D. 19.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

2. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

3. The formula for body mass index (BMI) is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. If a patient's BMI is 25 and their height is 1.7m, what is their weight?

• A. 34kg
• B. 45kg
• C. 56kg
• D. 68kg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Given: BMI = 25 Height = 1.7m We can rearrange the formula for BMI to solve for weight: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2 25 = weight / (1.7)^2 25 = weight / 2.89 Weight = 25 * 2.89 Weight = 72.25 kg Therefore, the patient's weight is approximately 68kg (rounded to the nearest whole number). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the calculated weight of 68kg.

4. Sergeant Kellogg had his men line up at 3:40 P.M. What would that be in military time?

• A. 340
• B. 3040
• C. 1500
• D. 1540

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, the 24-hour clock is used. 3:40 P.M. in standard time would be 1540 in military time. To convert from standard time to military time, you keep the hour number the same for afternoon and evening hours but add 12 to afternoon hours. Choice A (340) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the military time format. Choice B (3040) is incorrect as military time uses a maximum of four digits. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it represents 3:00 P.M. in military time, not 3:40 P.M.

5. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

• A. .75 tsp
• B. 1.5 tsp
• C. 1 tsp
• D. 1.25 tsp

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
