Question 2
Directions: Take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for pain. Do not take more than 4 tablets in 24 hours.
A patient takes the first tablet at 7:00 a.m. What is the earliest time the patient may take the second tablet?
Correct answer: D
Six hours after 7:00 a.m. is 1:00 p.m. 11:00 a.m. would be only 4 hours later, and 7:00 p.m. is allowed but is not the earliest time.

Question 4
Source 1: A health department flyer says adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking.
Source 2: A fitness magazine article says walking is good exercise but argues that running burns more calories in the same amount of time.
On which point do both sources agree?
Correct answer: D
The flyer recommends brisk walking, and the article calls walking good exercise. Only the article compares walking with running, so that is not shared.
-
Question 5
A writer claims that walking 30 minutes a day can lower blood pressure in adults. Which evidence would best support this claim?
Correct answer: C
Only the study measures blood pressure and compares walkers with a similar group that did not walk. Personal stories, opinions about enjoyment and ads do not test the claim.
-
Question 6
On a county map, the scale shows that 1 inch represents 25 miles. Two towns are 3.5 inches apart on the map. About how far apart are the towns in real life?
Correct answer: B
Multiply the map distance by the scale: 3.5 × 25 = 87.5 miles. Adding 3.5 and 25 gives 28.5, which mixes up the operation.

Question 8
A student is researching the 1918 influenza pandemic. Which of these is a primary source?
Correct answer: D
A primary source is created by someone who experienced the event at the time. Textbooks, encyclopedias and later documentaries are secondary sources that interpret it.
-
Question 9
A nursing student wants accurate information about the usual adult dose of a common medication. Which source is most reliable?
Correct answer: C
A professional reference that is written and checked by experts is the most trustworthy. How often a post is shared says nothing about its accuracy.
-
Question 10
In a survey, 200 nursing students named their preferred study method: 35% chose practice questions, 25% chose flashcards, 22% chose rereading notes and 18% chose study groups.
How many students chose practice questions?
Correct answer: A
35% of 200 is 0.35 × 200 = 70. Choosing 35 confuses the percent with the number of students.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
