1. How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?
- A. 5 liters
- B. 4 liters
- C. 6 liters
- D. 5.5 liters
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL รท 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.
2. Calculate the product of (99)(0.56) =
- A. 99.30
- B. 99.56
- C. 55.44
- D. 199.54
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.
3. A doctor orders 1 gram of a medication to be administered intravenously. The available vial contains 200 milligrams per milliliter. How many milliliters of the solution should be drawn up?
- A. 4 milliliters
- B. 5 milliliters
- C. 10 milliliters
- D. 20 milliliters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: 1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams. The concentration of the medication is 200 milligrams per milliliter. To calculate the volume needed, divide the total amount of medication by the concentration: 1000 mg / 200 mg/mL = 5 mL. Therefore, 5 milliliters of the solution should be drawn up to administer 1 gram of the medication intravenously. Choice A (4 milliliters), Choice C (10 milliliters), and Choice D (20 milliliters) are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the volume of the solution needed based on the concentration of the medication.
4. What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?
- A. 7/7
- B. 9/7
- C. 6/7
- D. 7/7
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.
5. A patient's oxygen flow rate is set at 4 liters per minute. How many cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute?
- A. 400 cubic centimeters
- B. 4,000 cubic centimeters
- C. 40,000 cubic centimeters
- D. 400,000 cubic centimeters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: 1 liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, when the oxygen flow rate is 4 liters per minute, the calculation is 4 x 1,000 = 4,000 cubic centimeters. Hence, at a flow rate of 4 liters per minute, 4,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen are delivered per minute. Choice A, 400 cubic centimeters, is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from liters to cubic centimeters. Choices C and D, 40,000 cubic centimeters and 400,000 cubic centimeters, respectively, are significantly higher than the correct answer due to incorrect conversions or additional errors in calculation.
