19632
Using the Parkland formula, the client's fluid requirements for the first 24
hours after injury: 4 ml lactated Ringer's solution x Body weight (in
kilograms) x Percent burn. Convert 180 pounds to kg = .2 = 81.8 kg 4
ml x 81.8 kg x 60 = 19632 ml over the first 24 hours.




A male client receives a prescription for ondansetron hydrochloride (Zofran) 4 mg IV
to prevent postoperative nausea after an inguinal hernia repair. The medication is
available in 2 mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value

, only.)


Use ratio and proportion, 4 mg : X ml = 2 mg : 1 ml 2X = 4 X = 2

The healthcare provider prescribes oxytocin (Pitocin) 0.5 milliunits/minute for a client
in labor. One liter Ringer's Lactate with 10 units of oxytocin (Pitocin) is infusing. The
nurse should program the infusion pump at how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value
only.)


Give this one a try later!


Using the formula, D/H x Q, 0.5 milliunits / 10,000 milliunits x 1000 ml = 0.05
ml/minute. Multiply by 60 minutes = 3 ml/hour.




A client with pericardial effusion has phrenic nerve compression resulting in recurrent
hiccups. The healthcare provider prescribes metoclopramide (Reglan) liquid 10 mg PO
q 6 hours. Reglan is available as 5 mg/5 ml. A measuring device marked in teaspoons

First, using the formula, Desired dose/dose on Hand x Quantity of volume
on hand (D/H x Q), 10 mg / 5 mg x 5ml = 10 ml. Next using the known
conversion of 5 ml = 1 tsp: 5 ml : 1 tsp :: 10 ml : X : 1 / X 5X = 10 X = 2
