1. What is the boiling point of water in degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 100°F
• B. 200°F
• C. 212°F
• D. 250°F

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: '212°F.' The boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 212°F. This is the temperature at which water transitions from a liquid to a gas phase, known as boiling. It is a fundamental property of water and a crucial point to remember for various applications in science and everyday life. Choice A (100°F) is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Choice B (200°F) and Choice D (250°F) are not correct boiling points for water at standard atmospheric pressure.

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 shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.

3. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.3 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.03 liters
• D. 3.3 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.

• A. 7:05 A.M.
• B. 7:05 P.M.
• C. 5:07 A.M.
• D. 5:07 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.

5. 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.
