Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg · 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.
Question 3 of 5
The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
Question 4 of 5
If y = 4 and x = 3, solve y x³
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: With y = 4 and x = 3, the expression is y x³. Substituting the values, we get 4 3³ = 4 27 = 108. Therefore, the correct answer is 108. Option A (-108) is incorrect because the negative sign is not part of the result. Option C (27) is incorrect as it only represents x³ without considering the value of y. Option D (4) is incorrect as it represents the initial value of y, not the result of y x³.
Question 5 of 5
How many gallons are in 16 quarts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to gallons, remember that 1 gallon equals 4 quarts. Therefore, 16 quarts · 4 quarts/gallon = 4 gallons. The correct answer is 4 gallons because each gallon contains 4 quarts. Choice A (1 gallon) is incorrect because 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, not 16 quarts. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice D (4.5 gallons) is incorrect because it doesn't align with the conversion rate of 4 quarts per gallon.
