Correct Answer:- 695
The tube feeding is administered at 75 ml/hour for 11 hours (0700
- 1800) and then turned off for one hour because the residual is
greater than 200 ml. 11 hours x 75 ml/hr = 825 ml. Three doses of
20 ml of medication are administered, with 10 ml of water used to
flush the GT before and after each dose. 20 ml x 3 doses = 60 ml;
10 ml (flush) x 2 x 3 doses = 60 ml; so 825 ml + 60 ml + 60 ml =
945 ml. 250 ml of residual is removed and not replaced. 945 ml -
250 ml = 695 ml total fluid balance (Intake - output).

A 180-pound adult male is admitted to the Emergency Center after
receiving thermal burns to 60 percent of his body. Using the
Parkland formula of 4 ml/kg/24 hours, the client should receive
how many ml of fluid during the first 24 hours? (Enter the numeric
value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole
number.)
Correct Answer:- 19632
Using the Parkland formula, the client's fluid requirements for the
first 24 hours after injury: 4 ml lactated Ringer's solution x Body
weight (in kilograms) x Percent burn. Convert 180 pounds to kg =
.2 = 81.8 kg 4 ml x 81.8 kg x 60 = 19632 ml over the first
24 hours.

The healthcare provider prescribes acetazolamide (Diamox) 600
mg/m2/day divided into 3 doses. The nurse calculates the child's
body surface area (BSA) as 0.7 m2. How many mg should the
child receive per dose? (Enter the numeric value only.)
Correct Answer:- Using the child's BSA, 0.7 m2, calculate the
mg/dose, 600 mg x 0.7 m2 = 420 mg/day/3 doses = 140
mg/dose
