Question

The client has an order for octreotide 60 mcg subcutaneously every 12 hours. The medication available is octreotide 150 mcg/mL. How many mL will the nurse administer for each dose? (if needed, round to the nearest tenth.)

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

0.4

Rationale :

💉60 mcg ÷ 150 mcg × 1 mL = 0.4 mL

💁‍♂️The desired dose is 60 mcg, while the available concentration is 150 mcg/mL.

👉Using the medication formula, calculate desired dose ÷ dose on hand × volume available.

📏The calculation 60 ÷ 150 × 1 produces 0.4 mL for each prescribed dose.

💪The value is already expressed to the nearest tenth, so the nurse should administer 0.4 mL.

📌Core Message

The prescribed 60 mcg of octreotide from a concentration of 150 mcg/mL requires administration of 0.4 mL per dose.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

2

Rationale :

💊10 mg ÷ 5 mg × 1 tablet = 2 tablets

📋The prescribed glyburide dose is 10 mg.

💁‍♂️Each available scored tablet contains 5 mg of glyburide.

💢Dividing the desired 10 mg dose by the 5 mg available per tablet gives 2 tablets.

🤝The nurse should therefore administer 2 tablets to provide the complete ordered dose.

📌Core Message

A prescribed 10 mg glyburide dose supplied as 5 mg tablets requires 2 tablets.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

200

Rationale :

💧2000 mL ÷ 10 hours = 200 mL/hr

⏱️The total prescribed IV volume is 2000 mL to be infused over 10 hours.

💁‍♂️The hourly infusion rate is calculated by dividing the total volume by the total infusion time.

🤙Dividing 2000 mL by 10 hours produces an infusion rate of 200 mL/hr.

💪The infusion pump should therefore be programmed to deliver 200 mL/hr.

📌Core Message

Infusing 2000 mL of Lactated Ringer's over 10 hours requires an infusion rate of 200 mL/hr.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

125

Rationale :

📏1.5 L × 1000 mL/L = 1500 mL

💧1500 mL ÷ 12 hours = 125 mL/hr

📐The prescribed 1.5 L must first be converted to milliliters because the requested rate is in mL/hr.

👉One liter contains 1000 mL, so 1.5 L provides 1500 mL.

⏰The 1500 mL total volume is then divided by the prescribed 12-hour infusion period.

💪The infusion pump should be programmed at 125 mL/hr.

📌Core Message

A 1.5 L sodium chloride infusion delivered over 12 hours requires a pump setting of 125 mL/hr.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

125

Rationale :

💧250 mL × 15 gtt/mL ÷ 30 minutes = 125 gtt/min

🩺The prescribed metronidazole infusion contains 250 mL to be delivered over 30 minutes.

👉The IV tubing has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL, which must be incorporated into the gravity-flow calculation.

🧮Multiplying 250 mL by 15 gtt/mL and dividing by 30 minutes produces 125 gtt/min.

💪The nurse should regulate the gravity infusion at 125 gtt/min.

📌Core Message

Delivering 250 mL over 30 minutes with tubing calibrated at 15 gtt/mL requires 125 gtt/min.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

9

Rationale :

🥄450 mg × 5 mL ÷ 250 mg = 9 mL

💊The prescribed amoxicillin dose is 450 mg.

💢The available liquid contains 250 mg in 5 mL.

👉Using the medication-volume formula, 450 × 5 ÷ 250 produces 9 mL.

💪The nurse should administer 9 mL of the oral amoxicillin preparation.

📌Core Message

An order for 450 mg of amoxicillin supplied as 250 mg per 5 mL requires 9 mL.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

5

Rationale :

💉5,000 units × 5 mL ÷ 5,000 units = 5 mL

📋The wording of this question appears to omit the actual ordered heparin dose, making the item incomplete as written.

🧨If the intended prescription is 5,000 units every 12 hours, the available concentration provides 5,000 units in 5 mL.

🧮A prescribed dose of 5,000 units therefore corresponds directly to the full 5-mL available volume.

⚠️In clinical practice, the nurse must verify any incomplete medication order before administering heparin because it is a high-alert medication.

📌Core Message

If the intended heparin dose is 5,000 units, a supply containing 5,000 units in 5 mL requires 5 mL, but an incomplete order must be verified before administration.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

4

Rationale :

💉4,000 units × 5 mL ÷ 5,000 units = 4 mL

🩸The prescribed heparin dose is 4,000 units every 12 hours.

👉The available medication contains 5,000 units in 5 mL.

💁‍♂️Applying the dosage formula, 4,000 × 5 ÷ 5,000 produces 4 mL.

🤙The nurse should administer 4 mL for each prescribed dose.

📌Core Message

A prescribed 4,000-unit heparin dose from a supply of 5,000 units per 5 mL requires 4 mL.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

2

Rationale :

💊80 mg ÷ 40 mg × 1 tablet = 2 tablets

📋The prescribed quinapril dose is 80 mg orally.

💎Each available tablet contains 40 mg of quinapril.

🤝Dividing the desired 80 mg dose by the 40 mg contained in each tablet produces 2 tablets.

💪The nurse should administer 2 tablets to provide the complete prescribed dose.

📌Core Message

An 80 mg quinapril order supplied as 40 mg tablets requires administration of 2 tablets.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

2.6

Rationale :

🔄1 g × 1000 mg/g = 1000 mg

💉175 mg × 15 mL ÷ 1000 mg = 2.625 mL

📏2.625 mL rounded to the nearest tenth = 2.6 mL

💊The available ceftriaxone contains 1 g in 15 mL, while the prescribed dose is expressed in milligrams.

💁‍♂️The 1 g available dose must first be converted to 1000 mg so both quantities use the same unit.

🧮Calculating 175 × 15 ÷ 1000 produces 2.625 mL.

💪Rounding to the required nearest tenth gives 2.6 mL for each intramuscular dose.

📌Core Message

After converting 1 g to 1000 mg, a 175 mg ceftriaxone dose supplied in 15 mL requires 2.6 mL when rounded to the nearest tenth.
