A nurse is preparing to administer 1.000 mL of lactated Ringer's IV over 6 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Full Explanation
Let's calculate the IV flow rate step-by-step:
Calculate the total infusion time in minutes:
6 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 360 minutes
Calculate the drops per minute:
Total volume (mL) x Drop factor (gtt/mL) / Infusion time (minutes) = Drops per minute (gtt/min)
1000 mL x 10 gtt/mL / 360 minutes ≈ 27.78 gtt/min
Round to the nearest whole number:
27.78 gtt/min ≈ 28 gtt/min
A nurse is preparing to administer clonidine 0.2 mg PO. The amount available is clonidine 0.1 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Full Explanation
Let's calculate the number of tablets needed step-by-step:
Determine the concentration of clonidine in the tablet:
0.1 mg/tablet
Calculate the number of tablets needed:
Desired dose (mg) / Available dose per tablet (mg/tablet) = Number of tablets
0.2 mg / 0.1 mg/tablet = 2 tablets
A nurse is preparing to administer dexamethasone 3 mg PO. Available is dexamethasone 5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Full Explanation
To determine the number of tablets to administer, you can use the formula:
Number of tablets=Available dose per tablet (mg)/Desired dose (mg)
Given:
Desired dose = 3 mg
Available dose per tablet = 1.5 mg
Now, calculate the number of tablets:
Number of tablets=1.5 mg/tablet3 mg=2 tablets
