1. A newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

A. A. 2268 grams
B. B. 3629 grams
C. C. 3770 grams
D. D. 3856 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert pounds and ounces to grams: 8 pounds = 8 × 453.59 = 3,628.72 grams. 5 ounces = (5 ÷ 16) × 453.59 = 141.75 grams. Total weight = 3,628.72 + 141.75 = 3,629 grams (rounded). Therefore, the infant's weight is approximately 3,629 grams. Choice A, 2268 grams, is incorrect as it does not account for the weight in ounces. Choice C, 3770 grams, is incorrect as it is not the accurate converted weight. Choice D, 3856 grams, is incorrect as it does not consider the conversion of ounces to grams.

2. The physician ordered 10 units of regular insulin, and 200 U/mL are on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

A. .45 mL
B. .75 mL
C. .25 mL
D. .05 mL

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the volume of insulin to be given, you can use the formula: Volume (mL) = (Ordered dose in units / Concentration of insulin in units/mL). Substituting the values, Volume (mL) = (10 units / 200 U/mL) = 0.05 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.05 mL. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the calculated volume based on the provided information.

3. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

A. 65
B. 50
C. 45
D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.

4. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?

A. 2 peach pies
B. 3 peach pies
C. 1 peach pie
D. 2 peach pies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.
