Question 1 of 5

A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following numbers is a perfect square?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A perfect square is a number obtained by squaring an integer. In this case, 16 is a perfect square because it is the result of squaring 4 (4 x 4 = 16). The other answer choices, 10, 12, and 15, are not the product of squaring any whole number, making them incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 16, as it is a perfect square.

Question 3 of 5

Convert 0.007 kilograms to grams.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 0.007 kilograms is equal to 0.007 x 1000 = 7 grams. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the right.

Question 4 of 5

The physician ordered 16 mg of Ibuprofen per kg of body weight; on hand are 80 mg tablets. The child weighs 15 kg. How many tablets will you give?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total dose required for the child, multiply the child's weight (15 kg) by the prescribed dose per kg (16 mg/kg): 15 kg * 16 mg/kg = 240 mg. Next, determine how many tablets are needed to reach this total dose: 240 mg / 80 mg per tablet = 3 tablets. However, since you cannot give a fraction of a tablet, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of tablets needed. Choice C is incorrect because only 1 tablet is not sufficient to reach the required dose. Choice D is incorrect because you cannot give a partial tablet, so it has to be rounded down to the nearest whole tablet.

Question 5 of 5

Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.
