The nurse is administering a 250 milliliter (ml) intravenous solution to be infused
over 2 hours. How many ml/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump?
(Enter numeric value only.) - 125
250 ml : 2 hours = X ml : 1 hour 250 = 2X X = 250 divided by 2 = 125 ml/hr
The nurse is preparing to administer 0.25 mg of bumetanide (Bumex) IV. The
medication is available in a vial labeled 1 mg/4 ml. How many ml of medication
should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only.) - 1
Using the Desired/Have x Volume formula: Desired = 0.25 mg Have = 1 mg Volume
= 4 ml 0.25 mg/1 mg x 4 ml = 1 ml
A client with hypertension receives a prescription for carteolol (Cartel) 7.5 mg PO
daily. The drug is available in 2.5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse
administer? (Enter numeric value only.) - 3
Using D/H: 7.5 mg / 2.5 mg = 3 tablets
The healthcare provider prescribes trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim-DS
Oral Suspension) 120 mg BID for a child with bronchitis. The Bactrim bottle is
labeled 200 mg/5ml. How many ml should the nurse administer at each dose?

, Using the formula D/H x Q, 120/200 x 5 = 3 ml
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 numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole
number.) - 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 numeric value
only.) - 140
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
A loading dose of acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) 8 grams, which is available as a
20% solution (200 mg acetylcysteine per ml) is prescribed by nasogastric tube for
