A client who is complaining of nausea and vomiting postoperatively receives a
prescription for metoclopramide (Reglan) 10 mg IV. The medication is available in vials
containing 5 mg/ml. How many mL should the nurse administer?

The nurse needs to calculate a client's oral temperature of 99.2??? Fahrenheit to
Celsius. What temperature in Celsius should the nurse document? (Enter numeric
value only. Round to the nearest tenth.)

, Use the formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, Fahrenheit temperature
(99.2) minus 32 divided by 1.8 = 37.3 degrees Celsius.
The healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of dextrose 5% in water with
isoproterenol (Isuprel) 2 mg in 500 ml at a rate of 5 mcg/minute for a client with
cardiac arrhythmia. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many
ml/hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest
hundredth.)

First using the known conversion 1 mg = 1000 micrograms.
Next, calculate the number of micrograms in solution: 1mg = 1000 mcg :: 2
mg = 2000 mcg
Then calculate how many ml of solution contain 5 mcg dose/minute: 2000
mcg : 500ml :: 5 mcg : X ml
2000/5 :: 500/X
X = 1.25 ml/minute
Calculating ml/hour: 1.25 ml x 60 minutes = 75 ml/hour
The nurse programs an IV infusion pump of Ringer's Lactated 1,000 ml with oxytocin
(Pitocin) 40 units to be delivered at 15 ml/hour. How many milliunits/minute is the
client receiving? (Enter numeric value only, whole number.)
Give this one a try later!
Convert units to milliunits, 40 x 1,000 = 40,000 milliunits. Using D/H x Q = 15
ml/hour: X/40,000 milliunits x 1,000 ml = 15 ml/hour (60 minutes)
X/40 =15/60
60X = 600
X = 10
