Basic Math Ability Exam A Relias 2023 with complete solution (Graded A+)

1. The physician has written an order for a medication, 3,000 units to be given SQ. You have on hand 5,000 units/mL. You will administer mL.- : 3000/5000 *1 = 0.6mL 2. The surgeon orders for 75 mg of a medication to be given IV push. The medication is available in a concentration of 125 mg/2 mL.You will administer mL to the patient. (record your answer using one decimal place): 1.2 3. The sliding scale order states: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30]= number of units of insulin to be given. At 1600 the patient's blood glucose is 150. You will administer units of insulin (round to the nearest whole number).: - 150-100/30 =1.66 rounded to nearest whole number = 2 4. Your patient's blood glucose is 302 mg/dL. The sliding scale order is to administer insulin using this formula: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷40]= number of units to administer. Based upon your patient's glucose, you should admin- ister units of insulin. (round to the nearest whole number): 302-100/40 =5.05 rounded = 5 5. The physician has ordered a medication to be given 0.05 mg/kg/day in 1,000 mL of fluid. The patient weighs 246 lbs. The dose added to the 1,000 mL bag of fluid should be mg. (round your answer to one decimal place): 0.05*111.5 (the weight in kg) = 5.575mg a day =5.6 6. The surgeon orders a medication 1.5 gms IV. The pharmacy delivers the medication as 1.5 grams in 150 mL IV solution to be infused over 90 minutes. The rate of the infusion is mL/hr.: 100 7. The physician orders for 1 liter of IV fluid to be given over 6 hours. The available tubing set delivers 15 gtts/mL. After your calculation, the set should be calibrated to deliver gtts/min. (round to the nearest whole number): =42 8. Your patient's blood sugar is 201 mg/dL. The sliding scale insulin order says to use the following formula to calculate the number of units to admin- ister: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30+10]= number of units to administer. Based upon your patient's blood sugar, the nurse should administer units of insulin.(round to the nearest whole number): 13 9. The patient is to receive 1,000 mL of IVF over 8 hours. The IV set delivers 15 gtts/mL. The drip rate will be gtts/min.(round to the nearest whole number): 31 10. An IV piggyback (IVPB) of 10,000 units/100 mL is to be given over 45 minutes. The pump should programmed to deliver mL/hr.(round to the nearest whole number): 133 11. A patient weighs 630 grams and has a glucose level of 208 mg/dL. The Physician has ordered Insulin 0.2 units/kg for glucose level 200. Insulin is available in the following concentration: 0.5 units/mL. The dose to be given would be mL. (record your answer using two decimal places): NOT 0??? 12. The physician orders 0.3 g of a drug q12 hours PO. The drug is available in 150 mg caplets. The nurse will administer caplets to the patient.: 2 13. The physician has ordered 60 grams of a medication. On hand, you have medication available at 15 grams/30 mL. You will administer mL.: 120 14. The physician has ordered 85 mg IV push. The pharmacy has dispensed 125 mg/2 mL. The nurse should deliver mL to the patient. (record your answer using one decimal place): 1.4 15. The physician orders a medication infusion of 900 units/hr. Your IV has 12,500 units of medication in 250 mLs. You would deliver mL's/hr.: 18 16. The physician has ordered a medication 5 mg/kg IV. The patient weighs 865 grams. The medication vial contains 10 mg/mL. The dose to be given would be mL. (record your answer using two decimal places): .43 this weight is nuts 17. The physician orders 20 mg of a drug by IM injection. The medication is available in a 50 mg/mL vial. You should administer mL of the medication. (record your answer using one decimal place): .4
