fill in the blank questions

[hopeful007]

is there a set criteria to answer fill in the blank questions???i seem to have answered correctly in my practise tests but when i check out my answers it turns out to be incorrect....the idea is correct but the words i used to answer the question maybe wrong....can anyone give me any input on this???

for example:

1. the question is how many drops per min....do u type the answer as 5o or 50gtt/min

2. normal range for fasting blood sugar.... 70-110 or 70-110mg/dl

3. position after liver biopsy.... right side or right lateral

thanks in advance

Iknow what you mean I am using saunders and The answer would be right side. but when I put right side it would say "sorry the answer is RIGHT"...LOL funny I thought. I was wondering if the nclex would mark it wrong as well????
