A client is ordered 0.5g IV of Clindamycin. The drug is supplied as a powdered vial which needs to be reconstituted with 2mL normal saline. The final concentration is 300mg/mL. How many mL will be drawn up in a syringe to add to a 50mL bag of NSS? (Do not use a leading zero, Round to the tenth place, do not use a trailing zero).

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["1.7"]

To find the volume (mL) needed:

Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg)/Concentration (mg/mL)

= 500/300

= 1.666

= 1.7 mL (Rounded off to the nearest tenth)

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A: A Doppler at the antecubital fossa is not specific for AV graft patency.
B: A bruit (whooshing sound) heard through auscultation and a palpable thrill (vibration) over the AV graft indicate patency and normal function.
C: BP comparison doesn’t assess AV graft function.
D: Peripheral pulses don’t give specific information about graft flow.

A. pH 7.49 HCO3 24 PaCO2 30 B. pH 7.24 HCO3 14 PACO2 30 C. pH 7.50 HCO3 30 PCO2 40 D. pH 7.26 HCO3 21 PaCO2 46

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A: Reflects respiratory alkalosis (elevated pH, low PaCO2) — not expected in AKI.
B: The ABG values show metabolic acidosis (low pH and low bicarbonate), which is commonly seen in AKI due to the kidneys’ reduced ability to excrete acids and reabsorb bicarbonate. The low PaCO2 indicates a compensatory respiratory alkalosis where the lungs are trying to blow off CO2 to compensate for the acidosis.
C: Reflects metabolic alkalosis (high pH, high HCO3), which is opposite of what’s seen in AKI.
D: Indicates mixed acidosis or possible uncompensated respiratory acidosis, but the bicarbonate isn’t low enough to represent true metabolic acidosis seen in AKI.
