Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should administer 4 tablets to give 1 mg of the medication. The nurse should use the formula method, following the rules for dividing fractions. The nurse should invert the divisor, multiply it by the dividend, and reduce the fraction to its lowest terms. Therefore, 3/2  3/1 is equal to 9/2 or 4 and not 4, 5, or 5 tablets.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse can also determine the percentage designated by any fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator.  = 3 divided by 4 = 75
