OB NURS 306 ATI REAL LIFE PREECLAMPSIA. ATI real life preeclampsia Scenario Nurse Morgan calculates the dosage of hydralazine (Apresoline). Question Nurse Morgan is preparing to administer hydralazine (Apresoline) 5 mg IV bolus. Available is hydralazine 20 mg/mL. How many mL should Morgan administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.) Selected Option 0.25 Rationale STEP 1: What is the unit of measurement to calculate? mL STEP 2: What is the dose needed? Dose needed = Desired. 5 mg STEP 3: What is the dose available? Dose available = Have. 20 mg STEP 4: Should the nurse convert the units of measurement? No STEP 5: What is the Quantity of the dose available? 1 mL STEP 6: Set up the equation and solve for X. Have = Desired Quantity X 20 mg = 5 mg 1 mL X mL X = 0.25 STEP 7: Round, if necessary. STEP 8: Reassess to determine the amount to administer makes sense. If there are 20 mg/mL and the amount prescribed is 5 mg, it makes sense to administer 0.25 mL. The nurse should administer hydralazine 0.25 mL IV. Nurse Morgan is preparing to administer magnesium sulfate IV at 2 g/ hr. Available is magnesium sulfate 40 g/1,000 mL lactated Ringer's. Morgan should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.) Selected Option 50 mL/hr Rationale STEP 1: What is the unit of measurement to calculate? mL/hr STEP 2: What is the volume needed? 2 g STEP 3: What is the total infusion time? 1 hr
