Question 1 of 5

What percentage of her income is left after Mary spent 15%?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the percentage of income remaining after spending 15%, subtract the percentage spent from 100% (100% - 15% = 85%). Therefore, Mary has 85% of her income left, which aligns with answer choice B. Choice A (12%) is incorrect because it represents the remaining amount after spending 88% of her income. Choice C (75%) is incorrect as it does not account for the 15% already spent. Choice D (95%) is incorrect as it does not consider the amount spent by Mary.

Question 4 of 5

The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 44 lb. How many tablets will you give?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 44 lb · 2.2 = 20 kg. Next, calculate the required dosage: 20 kg 20 mg/kg = 400 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg, divide the total dosage by the dosage per tablet: 400 mg · 80 mg/tablet = 5 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 tablets. Choice B is incorrect because it does not account for the actual number of tablets needed. Choice C is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets. Choice D is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets.

Question 5 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.
