Question A nurse was instructed by a physician to give clarithromycin (Biaxin) for a child whose BSA is 0.55 m2. The usual adult dose is 500 mg. Biaxin is available in an oral suspension. The 100ml bottle is labeled 50 mg/ml. How many ml would the nurse give per dose? Fill in the blanks. Record your answer using one decimal place. Answer: (3.2) mL. Incorrect Correct answer: 3.2 mL. Formula: BSA Formula: BSA Formula: Rationale: Use the BSA formula first then the standard formula as shown above. To get the childʼs dose, multiply 0.55m2(childʼs BSA) to 500 mg (usual adult dose) to get 275. Divide 275 with 1.7 m2to get 161.76 mg. Use the standard formula above. Divide 161.76 mg (desired pedia dose) with 50 mg (drug on hand) and multiply by 1 ml (vehicle) to get 3.2 ml. Computation: 2. Question A 28-year-old male has been found wandering around in a confusing pattern. The male is sweaty and pale. Which of the following tests is most likely to be performed first? A. Blood sugar check B. CT scan C. Blood cultures D. Arterial blood gases Incorrect Correct Answer: A. Blood sugar check With a history of diabetes, the first response should be to check blood sugar levels. Option B: Performing a CT scan at this stage of assessment is unnecessary. A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around the body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside the body. CT scan images provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do. Option C: A blood culture test helps the doctor figure out if the client has a kind of infection that is in the bloodstream and can affect the entire body. Doctors call this a systemic infection. The test checks a sample of the blood for bacteria or yeast that might be causing the infection. Option D: An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It also measures the bodyʼs acid-base (pH) level, which is usually in balance when healthy. 3. Question A mother is inquiring about her childʼs ability to potty train. Which of the following factors is the most important aspect of toilet training? A. The age of the child B. The child's ability to understand instruction C. The overall mental and physical abilities of the child D. Frequent attempts with positive reinforcement Incorrect Correct Answer: C. The overall mental and physical abilities of the child. Age is not the greatest factor in potty training. The overall mental and physical abilities of the child are the most important factor. Option A: Readiness for toilet training varies with every age of the child. Option B: A child who can follow simple instructions may start toilet training. However, it is not considered the most important factor. Option D: Positive reinforcement is a great tool for toilet training, yet, it may not be the most important one. 4. Question A parent calls the pediatric clinic and is frantic about the bottle of cleaning fluid her child drank for 20 minutes. Which of the following is the most important instruction the nurse can give the parent? A. This too shall pass B. Take the child immediately to the ER C. Contact the Poison Control Center quickly D. Give the child syrup of ipecac Incorrect Correct Answer: C. Contact the Poison Control Center quickly. The poison control center will have an exact plan of action for this child. Option A: Ingestion of a chemical is an emergency and should not be delayed. Option B: Taking the client to the ER may be correct, however, they will still have to contact the Poison Control Center. Option D: It should not be given to someone who swallowed chemicals that cause burns on contact or medicines that can cause seizures very quickly. It can be dangerous to people with some types of medical problems. When such poisoning victims got Ipecac anyway, they developed serious complications or even died. 5. Question A nurse is administering a shot of Vitamin K to a 30 day-old infant. Which of the following target areas is the most appropriate? A. Gluteus maximus B. Gluteus minimus C. Vastus lateralis D. Vastus medialis Incorrect Correct Answer: C. Vastus lateralis Medications are injected into the bulkiest part of the vastus lateralis thigh muscle, which is the junction of the upper and middle thirds of this muscle. Option A: Intramuscular injections given at the dorsogluteal and ventrogluteal sites are intended for the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles, respectively. However, little research has confirmed the reliability of these sites for the presence and thickness of the target and other muscles, and subcutaneous fat. Option B:
