Nursing Elites

1. A researcher is collecting data on patient satisfaction. Out of 150 patients surveyed, 120 reported being satisfied with their care. What percentage of the patients were satisfied?

• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 85%
• D. 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of satisfied patients, divide the number of satisfied patients by the total number of patients surveyed and multiply by 100. In this case, 120 (satisfied patients) ÷ 150 (total patients surveyed) x 100 = 80%. Therefore, 80% of the patients were satisfied. Choice B (75%), C (85%), and D (90%) are incorrect percentages as the actual percentage of satisfied patients is 80%.

2. A nurse works in the military hospital from 1300 to 2000. How many hours does this nurse work?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 11 hours
• C. 7 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The nurse works from 1300 to 2000, which is a 7-hour period. To calculate the hours worked, subtract the start time from the end time: 2000 - 1300 = 700, which is equal to 7 hours. Choice A, 8 hours, is incorrect as it does not reflect the actual duration. Choice B, 11 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the hours worked. Choice D, 12 hours, is incorrect as it is also an overestimation of the hours worked.

3. Express 25 as a fraction in lowest terms.

• A. 1â…–
• B. 1½
• C. 1¼
• D.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express 25 as a fraction in lowest terms, we write it as 25/1. Then, we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25. This results in 25/1 = 25/25 = 1 as the whole number part and 0 as the fractional part. Thus, 25 can be expressed as 1¼. Choice A (1⅖) is incorrect as it represents 1 and 2/5, which is not equivalent to 25. Choice B (1½) is incorrect as it represents 1 and 1/2, which is also not equivalent to 25. Choice D is empty and does not provide an answer.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 1310 hours.

• A. 1:10 A.M.
• B. 1:10 P.M.
• C. 1:31 A.M.
• D. 1:31 P.M.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In military time, 1310 hours is equivalent to 1:10 P.M. However, in regular time, the conversion should have a colon between the hour and minutes, so the correct conversion is 1:31 P.M. Choice A (1:10 A.M.) and Choice C (1:31 A.M.) are incorrect as they both represent A.M. hours, while 1310 hours is in the afternoon (P.M.). Choice B (1:10 P.M.) is incorrect as it represents the hour correctly but lacks the accurate minutes representation.

5. If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.
