Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)

Step 1 is 75 mg ÷ (100 mg/mL).
Step 2 is 0.75 mL. Answer: The nurse should administer 0.75 mL.
A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and has a prescription for oxytocin 10 units IM one time only for the saturation of a perineal pad in 15 minutes or less.
How should the nurse interpret this prescription?
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Administering medication each time the client saturates a perineal pad within 15 minutes is incorrect. Oxytocin administration is prescribed as a one-time intervention for postpartum hemorrhage and not for repeated doses.
Choice B rationale
Administering the medication once if the client saturates the perineal pad within 15 minutes is correct. Oxytocin is used to reduce postpartum bleeding by causing uterine contractions, thus stabilizing the condition.
Choice C rationale
Offering the medication to prevent saturation of the perineal pad is incorrect. Oxytocin is prescribed reactively for significant bleeding, not proactively.
Choice D rationale
Waiting 15 minutes after the client saturates a perineal pad to administer medication is incorrect. Immediate administration is necessary to control acute postpartum bleeding and prevent further complications.
A nurse is preparing to administer procaine penicillin G 1,200,000 units IM to a client who has a gonococcal infection.
Available is procaine penicillin G injection 600,000 units/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Step 1 is 1,200,000 units ÷ (600,000 units/mL).
Step 2 is 2 mL. Answer: The nurse should administer 2 mL.
A nurse is reviewing a new prescription with the parent of a newborn who is to receive ferrous sulfate 15 mg PO daily.
Available is ferrous sulfate drops 75 mg/0.6 mL. How many mL should the parent administer to the newborn each day? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.) . . .
Explanation
Step 1 is 15 mg ÷ (75 mg/0.6 mL).
Step 2 is 0.12 mL. Answer: The parent should administer 0.12 mL. .
A nurse is preparing to administer oxycodone 10 mg PO every 6 hours PRN for severe pain to a client who is postpartum following a cesarean birth.
Available is oxycodone 5 mg tablets.
How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Step 1 is (10 mg ÷ 5 mg/tablet) = 2 tablets. Final answer: 2 tablets.
A nurse is preparing to administer regular insulin 0.1 unit/kg/hr via continuous IV infusion to a client who weighs 70 kg. Available is regular insulin 100 units in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Step 1 is (0.1 unit/kg/hr × 70 kg) = 7 units/hr Step 2 is (7 units/hr ÷ 100 units) × 100 mL = 7 mL/hr. Final answer: 7 mL/hr.
A nurse is preparing to administer dobutamine 10 mcg/kg/min by continuous IV infusion to a newborn who weighs 4 kg. Available is dobutamine 250 mg in 500 mL dextrose 5% in water.
The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Step 1 is (10 mcg/kg/min × 4 kg) = 40 mcg/min Step 2 is (40 mcg/min ÷ 1000) = 0.04 mg/min Step 3 is (0.04 mg/min × 60 min/hr) = 2.4 mg/hr Step 4 is (2.4 mg/hr ÷ 250 mg) × 500 mL = 4.8 mL/hr. Final answer: 4.8 mL/hr.
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1,800 mL IV to infuse over 12 hr for a client who has postpartum hemorrhage.
The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)
Explanation
Step 1 is 1,800 mL ÷ 12 hr = 150 mL/hr. Final answer: 150 mL/hr.
A nurse is caring for a newborn who weighs 3,500 g. The nurse should record the newborn's weight as how many kg? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.) . . .
Explanation
Step 1 is 3,500 g ÷ 1,000 = 3.5 kg. Final answer: 3.5 kg. .
