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 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 The sliding scale order states: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30]= number of units of insulin to be given. At 160...

Know how to measure the PR interval ( PRI)From where the P wave begins until the beginning of the QRS complex. 0.12 to 0.20 seconds (3 to 5 small boxes) in adults, longer in elderly people. Know how to measure the QRSFrom the end of the PR interval to the end of the S wave. 0.08 to 0.10 seconds. (2-2 1/2 boxes) Know the normal values for the PRI and the QRSPRI = 0.12 - 0.20 or 3-5 boxes QRS = 0.08 - 0.10 or 2- 2 1/2 boxes Know what electrical activity triggers which mechanical event. F...
