1. The formula for calculating heart rate is HR = (220 - age) x 0.65. If a patient's heart rate is 136.5, what is their age?
- A. 30
- B. 40
- C. 50
- D. 60
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Given formula: HR = (220 - age) * 0.65 Given heart rate: HR = 136.5 Substitute the given heart rate into the formula: 136.5 = (220 - age) * 0.65 Solve for age: 136.5 = 143 - 0.65age 0.65age = 143 - 136.5 0.65age = 6.5 age = 6.5 / 0.65 age = 10 Therefore, the patient's age is 50 (option C).
2. Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.
- A. 5 1\5
- B. 5 2\5
- C. 4 5\6
- D. 3 1\3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the fractions: 12 - 7 4\5 = 5 1\5.
3. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =
- A. 372
- B. 384
- C. 396
- D. 412
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.
4. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?
- A. 125cm
- B. 150cm
- C. 200cm
- D. 50cm
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.
5. A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?
- A. 16.67%
- B. 20%
- C. 25%
- D. 50%
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the final concentration, first, calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, determine the concentration by dividing the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiplying by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (16.67%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choices C (25%) and D (50%) are both incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate concentration resulting from the dilution process.
