1. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

2. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 0.084
• B. 84
• C. 0.84
• D. 8.4

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When dividing 40.3 by 4.8, the correct result is approximately 8.4. To obtain this result, you can perform the division 40.3 ÷ 4.8 = 8.395833... which rounds to 8.4. The other choices, A, B, and C, are incorrect. Choice A, 0.084, is incorrect as it is not the result of the division provided. Choice B, 84, is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 40.3 and 4.8 instead of dividing them. Choice C, 0.84, is incorrect as it is not the correct result when dividing 40.3 by 4.8. It is crucial for individuals in various professions to be precise in mathematical calculations for tasks such as accurate medication administration and dosage measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 8.4.

3. Three nurses worked 8-hour shifts. Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients during her shift. Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients. How many patients were monitored in total?

• A. 26 patients
• B. 24 patients
• C. 20 patients
• D. 23 patients

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of patients monitored, add the patients monitored by each nurse: 6 (Nurse 1) + 8 (Nurse 2) + 12 (Nurse 3) = 26 patients. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 patients. Choice B (24 patients), Choice C (20 patients), and Choice D (23 patients) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the patients monitored by each nurse.

4. How many ounces are in 3/4 pints?

• A. 12 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 14 ounces
• D. 10 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of ounces in 3/4 pints, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint would be 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. The correct answer is 12 ounces because 3/4 pints is equivalent to 12 ounces. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the conversion from pints to ounces.

5. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.
