1 :

Hint : 🧠Use volume and hours to find the hourly pump setting.

Correct Answers:

  • 125


Rationale :

💧IV pump rate is calculated using total volume divided by time.

⏱️The order provides 1000 mL to infuse over 8 hours.

🧮Dividing 1000 by 8 gives the hourly infusion amount needed.

✅Programming 125 mL/hr ensures the full ordered volume infuses in the prescribed time.

📌core message

Calculate mL/hr using volume divided by hours for accurate IV pump programming.

2 :

Hint : 🔁Convert mcg to mg first, then divide by mg per mL.

Correct Answers:

  • 0.55


Rationale :

💊Convert micrograms to milligrams to match the vial concentration.

🧮275 mcg equals 0.275 mg, which aligns with the available mg/mL concentration.

📏Calculate volume using ordered dose divided by concentration.

✅0.55 mL delivers the correct atropine dose with safe rounding to hundredths.

📌core message

For IV meds, match units then compute mL using dose divided by concentration.

3 :

Hint : 🧠Find mg per mL from the vial, then divide the ordered mg by that value.

Correct Answers:

  • 0.9


Rationale :

🧪First determine the concentration from the supply amount.

📏500 mg in 2 mL gives a strength of mg per mL for calculation.

🧮Compute the required volume using ordered mg divided by mg per mL.

✅Rounding to tenths gives 0.9 mL, which matches the 225 mg dose.

📌core message

Convert the vial to mg per mL, then calculate dose volume with ordered mg divided by concentration.

4 :

Hint : 🧒Compute the mg dose from weight first, then convert mg to mL using the label strength.

Correct Answers:

  • 6.25


Rationale :

⚖️Calculate the total dose using mg/kg multiplied by weight in kg.

🧮10 mg/kg for 25 kg yields a required dose in milligrams.

📏Convert the liquid to mg per mL using the available 200 mg per 5 mL.

✅Dividing the ordered mg by mg per mL gives 6.25 mL, rounded to hundredths.

📌core message

Weight-based dosing uses mg/kg, then convert to mL using the medication’s mg per mL concentration.

5 :

Hint : ⏳Multiply by the drop factor, then divide by 60 to get drops per minute.

Correct Answers:

  • 15


Rationale :

💧Gravity flow rate uses mL/hr, drop factor, and minutes per hour.

🧮Multiply 90 mL/hr by 10 gtt/mL to get total drops per hour.

⏱️Divide by 60 minutes to convert to gtt/min.

✅Rounding yields 15 gtt/min for safe and accurate infusion.

📌core message

Calculate gtt/min using mL/hr × drop factor ÷ 60 for accurate gravity infusion.

6 :

Hint : 🧠Use units divided by units per mL to get the injection volume.

Correct Answers:

  • 0.55


Rationale :

💉Dose volume is found by dividing ordered units by units per mL.

🧮The ordered dose is 5500 units, and the concentration is 10,000 units/mL.

📏Dividing gives the exact mL required for administration.

✅Rounding to hundredths gives 0.55 mL, which matches the ordered heparin dose.

📌core message

For heparin, compute mL using ordered units divided by units per mL.

7 :

Hint : 🔢Divide the ordered milligrams by the milligrams in one capsule.

Correct Answers:

  • 3


Rationale :

💊Tablet/capsule counts are calculated using ordered dose divided by dose per capsule.

🧮The order requires 600 mg, and each capsule contains 200 mg.

📏Dividing determines how many capsules provide the exact total dose.

✅3 capsules deliver 600 mg safely without under-dosing or overdosing.

📌core message

Determine capsule count with ordered dose divided by strength per capsule.

8 :

Hint : 🧮Find the minimum and maximum mg dose from weight, then compare the ordered amount.

Correct Answers:

  • Yes


Rationale :

🧒Calculate the safe range using mg/kg multiplied by weight.

📉Minimum safe dose is 25 mg/kg × 32 kg, and maximum is 50 mg/kg × 32 kg.

🧮The ordered dose 850 mg falls within the calculated safe range.

✅Because it is within limits, the dose is safe to administer based on weight-based dosing.

📌core message

Pediatric safety checks compare the ordered dose to the mg/kg safe range based on body weight.

9 :

Hint : ⏳Convert minutes to hours, then divide volume by hours.

Correct Answers:

  • 200


Rationale :

⏱️Pump rates use mL/hr, so convert the infusion time to hours.

🧮30 minutes equals 0.5 hours for rate calculation.

📏Divide 100 mL by 0.5 hours to find the hourly rate.

✅Setting 200 mL/hr delivers the full 100 mL in 30 minutes.

📌core message

For pump infusions, compute mL/hr by converting time to hours and using volume divided by time.

10 :

Hint : 🧠Find units/hr from weight, find units/mL from the bag, then convert to mL/hr.

Correct Answers:

  • 14.6


Rationale :

⚖️First compute hourly dose using units/kg/hr multiplied by weight.

🧪Next determine concentration by converting the IV bag to units per mL.

🧮Divide the required units per hour by units per mL to obtain mL/hr.

✅Rounding to tenths gives 14.6 mL/hr, ensuring accurate therapeutic delivery.

📌core message

Heparin drips require units/hr from weight and units/mL from the bag to calculate mL/hr safely.
