A child with a urinary tract infection is receiving Cephalexin (Keflex) 100 mg suspension PO
QID. Keflex oral suspension is labeled 125 mg in 5 ml. How many ml should the nurse
administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.) -
Answer>>> 4
Using the formula Desired/Have available x Quantity: 100/125 x 5 = 500/125 = 4 ml
An IV infusion of dextrose 5% in normal saline with oxytocin (Pitocin) 20 units in 1,000 ml is
prescribed for a client to control postpartum bleeding. The solution is to be administered at a rate
of 2 mu/minute. The nurse should program the infusion pump to administer how many ml/hour?
(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.) -
Answer>>> 6
First calculate the number of units/hour. 0.002 units/minute x 60 minutes = 0.12 units/hour. Next
calculate the number of ml/hour needed to administer 0.12 units/hour. 20 units : 1,000 ml :: 0.12
units : X 20/0.12 :: 1,000/X 20X : 120 X = 6
A healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride with
pancuronium (Pavulon) 25 mg/250 ml at a rate of 0.1 mg/kg/hr for a client with coronary artery
bypass grafting. The client weighs 78 kg. 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
tenth. - Answer>>> 78
First calculate the number of mg the client will receive in 1 hour: 0.1 mg x 78 kg = 7.8 mg/hour.
Next calculate the number of ml containing 7.8 mg of medication: 25 mg : 250 ml :: 7.8 mg : X
25 mg/ 7.8 mg :: 250 ml/X 25X = 1950 X = 78 ml/hour.
