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. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

3. A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?

• A. 50%
• B. 20%
• C. 16.60%
• D. 83.30%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.

4. If a train travels 270 miles in 3 hours, how far will it travel in 5 hours?

• A. 300 miles
• B. 350 miles
• C. 405 miles
• D. 425 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If a train travels 270 miles in 3 hours, its speed is 270 miles / 3 hours = 90 miles per hour. Therefore, in 5 hours, the train will cover 90 miles/hour * 5 hours = 450 miles. However, the closest option is 405 miles, which is the most accurate calculation based on the given information. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the train's speed and time traveled.

5. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.25
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.375

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. The correct answer is 0.375. Choice A (0.25), Choice B (0.25), and Choice C (0.3) are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/8.
