FINAL QUESTIONS
Gtt Formula 1,000 mcg =1 mg 1 mL = 1 cubic
centimeter (cc)
mL x gtt = ___ / min: 1,000 G = 1 kg 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5
milliliters (mL)
ABGs MEASURES 1,000 mg = 1 G 1,000 mL = 1 L
pH 7.35 – 7.45 2.2 lbs = 1 kg 3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1
PAO2 80 – 100 mm Hg tablespoon (Tbsp)
PACO2 35 - 45 mm Hg 30 mL = 1 oz 1 tablespoon (Tbsp)
HCO3- 22 – 26 mEq/L = 15 milliliters (mL)
SAO2 95% - 100 % 240 mL = 1 Cup 2 tablespoons (Tbsp)
pH more 7.45 Alkalosis (vomiting) (8oz) = 1 ounce (oz)
pH less than 7.35 Acidosis (diarrhea) 120 mL cup w/ice
(ice is half of mL)
60 mins = 1 hr 15 drops (gtt)= 1 ml;
normal = uncompensated 60 gtt=1 tsp
alkalosis/ acidosis= compensated 1 quart = 2 pints 1lb = 16 oz
98.6 Fahrenheit = 37

Calculating carbs
¥ 1 unit of insulin covers = 15g of carb
A child's meal has 50 grams of carbs the doctor orders 1
unit of insulin for every 10 grams of carbs. How much
insulin will I give?
¥ 50/10= 5units of insulin
Daily maintenance fluid requirements
https://www.merckmanuals.com/medical-
calculators/MaintenanceFluidChildren.htm
Ð Calculate child’s weight in kg
o Allow 100 ml/kg for first 10 kg body
weight
o Allow 50 ml/kg for second 10 kg body
weight
o Allow 20 ml/kg for remaining body weight
,Ex. What is the daily fluid maintenance requirement of a
pediatric patient that weights 27kg?
10+10+7= 27kg
100x 10 = 1000
50x10 = 500
20x7= 140
---------------= 1640 mL if pump set up divide it by 24hr
1640/24 = 68.3 mL/hr.
Under 10kg always calculate x100.
5kg
100x5= 500 mL /24hr = 20.8 mL/hr
Labs
Urine gravity
¥ Under 2: 1.001- 1.018
¥ Over 2: 1.001-1.030
Normal Urine output
¥ 2mL/kg/hr (infant)
¥ 0.5 to 1 mL/kg/hr (children)
¥ 40-80 mL/ hr (adolescents)
3 * kids’ weight = amount of urine output /24

episode. Which of the following statements by the parents is inappropriate?
a. I will elevate the affected extremity
b. I will apply heat
c. I will have my child rest
d. I will compress the site
2. The nurse caring for a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta understands that the goal of
treatment is to?
a. Utilize serial casting
b. Treat the bone infection
c. Maintain spica cast
d. Increased bone density
3. The nurse is caring for a toddler who present with a honey-colored crusted oral lesion to
the urgent care cause of the lesion could be. What is the nurse best response?
a. A common viral infection
b. A common allergic response
c. A bacterial staphylococcal infection

c. Encourage completion of schoolwork
d. Administer prescribed antibiotics
5. A nurse is providing teaching to an adolescent on measures to prevent urinary tract
infection (UTIs). Which of the following statements indicates teaching has been
effective?
a. I will need to restrict my fluid intake
b. I will need to decrease my fiber intake
c. I will need to increase my fiber intake
d. I will need to perform vaginal douching daily
