Nursing Elites

1. A nurse working at the hospital earns $22 per hour. She worked two 12-hour shifts and two 8-hour shifts during the week. How much did she earn for the week?

• A. $960
• B. $1,080
• C. $990
• D. $880

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The nurse worked a total of 40 hours (2 x 12 hours + 2 x 8 hours) during the week. Multiplying 40 hours by her hourly rate of $22 gives a total earning of $960 for the week. Therefore, the correct answer is $960. Choice B ($1,080) is incorrect because it miscalculates the earnings by adding extra hours. Choice C ($990) is incorrect as it does not account for the correct number of hours worked. Choice D ($880) is incorrect as it underestimates the total earnings by not considering all hours worked.

2. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.

3. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

4. A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 95 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 100.5 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

5. Subtract and simplify: -5 - (-6) =

• A. ½
• B. 1⅜
• C. 1
• D. 1⅔

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To simplify the expression -5 - (-6), we can rewrite it as -5 + 6 (since subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart). This gives us -5 + 6 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. Choice A, ½, is incorrect because the subtraction of a negative number results in a positive number. Choices B and D are also incorrect as they do not match the simplified result of -5 - (-6), which is 1.
