mEq/hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hour to the nearest whole
number?
625
mEq (= milliequivalent 밀리그램당량) is an expression of the number of grams of a medication
contained in 1ml of a normal solution.
A nurse is preparing to administer Lasix 220 mg via IV bolus. Available is Lasix 50 mg/mL. How many
mL should the nurse administer?
4.4 mL
220 mg / 50 mg = 4.4

many mL should the nurse administer?
2.15 mL
, = 2.15
A nurse is is totaling milliliters of fluid for a client during a 9 hour abdominal surgery. What is the
total: Ringers at 150 mL/hour, Cefazolin IV piggyback in 100 mL of normal saline, Two units of packed
RBCs at 275 mL and 250 mL, Bolus of 250 mL normal saline every 3 hours.
2725 mL
(9150) + 100 + 275 + 250 + (3250) = 2725
