Nursing Elites

1. A hospital nurse's schedule rotates every 4 days. The nurse works 3 days and has 1 day off. If the nurse's first day off is a Monday, what is the nurse's second day off?

• A. Friday
• B. Saturday
• C. Thursday
• D. Wednesday

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The nurse's schedule repeats every 4 days, with 3 days of work and 1 day off. If the first day off is Monday, then after 4 days (Monday + 4 days), the second day off will fall on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (Saturday), C (Thursday), and D (Wednesday) are incorrect as they do not align with the 4-day rotation pattern after the first day off on Monday.

2. A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?

• A. 875 words
• B. 800 words
• C. 900 words
• D. 875 words

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

3. What percentage of 40 is 8?

• A. 20%
• B. 15%
• C. 10%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.

4. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026

• A. 0.0026%
• B. 0.026%
• C. 2.6%
• D. 26%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.

5. What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?

• A. 4.8
• B. 4.9
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.
