The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 12 kg. How many tablets will you give?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total dose of Tylenol for the child weighing 12 kg, multiply the weight by the ordered dose: 12 kg x 20 mg/kg = 240 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg of Tylenol, divide the total dose needed by the amount per tablet: 240 mg · 80 mg/tablet = 3 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 tablets. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation for the number of tablets required based on the child's weight and the ordered dose per kg.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 5 meters multiplied by 1000 equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A is correct as it represents the accurate conversion from meters to millimeters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal, you divide 7 by 8, which equals 0.875. To express this decimal as a percentage, you multiply it by 100 to get 87.5%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and a percent.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the volume of heparin needed, use the formula: Volume of Heparin = (Ordered Units / Concentration of Heparin). Substituting the values, Volume = (3,000 units / 5,000 U/mL) = 0.6 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.6 ml. Choice A (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it results from an incorrect calculation. Choices C (0.75 ml) and D (0.8 ml) are also incorrect calculations based on the wrong formula application or mathematical errors.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.20462. Therefore, to convert 45 kg to pounds, you would perform the calculation: 45 kg * 2.20462 = 99.2079 pounds. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is approximately 110 pounds. Choice A (10 pounds) is incorrect as it is too low. Choice B (100 pounds) and Choice C (1,000 pounds) are also incorrect as they are too high. The correct conversion is closest to Choice D (110 pounds).

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To evaluate the expression, substitute x = 4 and y = 2 into the expression: -4 + 2 + 4*2. Calculate each term: -4 + 2 = -2, then 4*2 = 8. Adding these results gives -2 + 8 = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A (2) is incorrect as it does not consider all terms in the expression. Choice C (12) is incorrect as it miscalculates the result by failing to account for the negative sign. Choice D (8) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the negative value of the first term in the expression.
