The nurse prepares 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, 1,000 ml IV to be infused over 8 hours. The
infusion set delivers 10 drops per milliliter. The nurse should regulate the IV to administer how
many drops per minute? (Round to nearest whole number.) - Answer>>> 21
Rationale
The accepted formula for figuring drops per minute is: amount to be infused in one hour x drop
factor/time for infusion (min ) = drops per minute. Using this formula: 1,000/8 hours = 125 ml/
hour 125 x 10 (drip factor) = 1,250 drops in one hour. 1,250/ 60 (number of minutes in one hour)
= 20.8 = 21 gtt/minute.
The nurse is preparing the change-of-shift report for a client who has a 265 ml secondary
infusion that was started 2 hours ago at a rate of 85 ml/hour via an infusion pump. The nurse
should report that how many ml remain to be infused by the on-coming nurse? (Enter numeric
value only.) - Answer>>> 95
Rationale
85 ml x 2 hours = 170 ml has infused.
265 ml (total amount to be infused) - 170 ml (amount infused) = 95 ml remain to be infused.
The healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of 5% dextrose in 0.45% sodium
chloride at 85 ml/hour. The IV administration set delivers 10 gtt/ml. The nurse should regulate
the drop rate to deliver how many gtts/minute? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is
required, round to the nearest whole number.) - Answer>>> 14
Rationale
Volume/Time (minutes) x drop factor (gtt/ml) =85 ml/ 60 minutes x 10 gtt/ml = 14.16 = 14
gtt/minute
, A client who is experiencing cardiogenic shock receives a prescription for an IV solution of
0.9% normal saline 100 ml with milrinone (Primacor) 10 mg in at an infusion rate of 46
mcg/minute. 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 whole number.) - Answer>>>
28
Rationale
First calculate the number of mcg/hour: 46 mcg x 60 minutes = 2760 mcg/hourNext calculate the
number of ml/hour needed to administer 2760 mcg/hour:10,000 mcg : 100 ml :: 2760 mcg :
X10, :: 100 / X = 10,000X = 276000X = 27.6 (rounded to 28 ml/hour)
A client is receiving an IV solution of sodium chloride 0.9% (Normal Saline) 250 ml with
amiodarone (Cordarone) 1 gram at 17 ml/hour. How many mg/minute of amiodarone is infusing?
(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.) - Answer>>> 1.1
Rationale
Convert grams to mg, 1 gram equals 1,000 mg. Using ratio and proportion - 1,000 mg : 250 ml ::
X mg : 1ml250X= 1,000 so X = 4 mg/ml is the solution concentration of amiodarone.The
infusion rate (ml/hour) x concentration (mg/ml) divided by 60 minutes/hour17 ml/hour x 4
mg/ml = 68/60 = 1.13 = 1.1 mg/minute.
The healthcare provider prescribes furosemide (Lasix) 15 mg IV STAT for a client. On hand is
an ampoule labeled, furosemide (Lasix) 20 mg/2ml. How many milliliters should the nurse
administer? - Answer>>> 1.5 ml
Rationale
The correct calculation: Dosage on hand/amount on hand = Dosage desired/X amount. 20mg :
2ml = 15mg : X20X = 30X = 30/20 = 1 1/2 or 1.5 ml
The healthcare provider prescribes an IV infusion of Ringer's Lactate 1,000 ml with 30 Units of
Pitocin to run in over 4 hours for a client who has just delivered a 10 pound infant by cesarean
section. The tubing has been changed to a 20 gtt/ml administration set. The nurse plans to set the
flow rate at how many gtt/minute? - Answer>>> 83 gtt/min
