A client with hypertension currently takes two and a half tablets of bisoprolol per day, each containing 100 mg. The new order is 500 mg of bisoprolol per day.
What instruction should be given to this client for the eﬀective management of hypertension?

"Take five and a half tablets daily."

"Take two and a half tablets daily."

"Take five tablets daily."

"Take two tablets daily."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The instruction that should be given to this client for the eﬀective management of hypertension is to take

**five tablets** of bisoprolol per day, each containing 100 mg.

This is because the new order of 500 mg of bisoprolol per day is twice as much as the current dose of 250 mg of bisoprolol per day (two and a half tablets of 100 mg each). Therefore, the client needs to double the number of tablets they take per day from two and a half to five.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

To find the ﬂow rate in mL/hr, you need to use the formula for infusion rate:

Infusion rate (mL/h) = Total volume (mL) / Time (h)

Since the total volume is 2.5 L and the time is 15 hours, plug in these values into the formula:

Infusion rate (mL/h) = 2.5 L / 15 h

However, before you can simplify and solve for the infusion rate, you need to convert the volume from liters to milliliters by multiplying by 1000:

Infusion rate (mL/h) = 2500 mL / 15 h

Simplify and solve for the infusion rate:

Infusion rate (mL/h) = 166.67 mL/h

Therefore, the ﬂow rate for continuous infusion is **166.67 mL/h**.

A. 500 mg/kg three times daily B. 5 g/kg once daily C. 1 g/kg every 8 hours D. 15 mg/kg twice daily

Correct Answer is D
