A glass container with a self-sealing rubber stopper is called a(n):

A.

ampule

B.

bottle

C.

syringe

D.

vial

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. ampule: An ampule is a small, sealed glass container holding a single dose of medication. It must be broken open at the neck to access the drug, and it does not have a rubber stopper.

B. bottle: A bottle is a general term for a container and is usually associated with larger volumes or oral liquids. It is not the specific clinical term for this type of injection container.

C. syringe: A syringe is the device used to draw up and inject the medication. It is composed of a plunger and a barrel, not a sealed glass container for storing the drug.

D. vial: A vial is a glass or plastic bottle with a self-sealing rubber stopper (diaphragm) that allows for multiple doses to be withdrawn by puncturing the stopper with a needle, maintaining sterility between uses.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Intravenous:While true in a general sense, it is not specific enough. The abbreviation "IVPB" specifies how the intravenous medication is delivered (secondary infusion), making choice D the precise answer.

B. Intravenous Push:IV Push (IVP) implies injecting a concentrated dose directly into the line over a short time (minutes). Piperacillin/tazobactam is an antibiotic that requires intermittent infusion over a longer period (e.g., 30 minutes) to prevent vein irritation and ensure efficacy.

C. Intramuscular:The order specifies "IV," which contradicts the Intramuscular (IM) route.

D. Intravenous Piggyback:The abbreviation IVPB stands for Intravenous Piggyback. This method involves hanging a smaller secondary bag of medication higher than the primary infusion bag, allowing it to infuse through the main line.

Correct Answer is ["1140"]

Explanation

First, convert all household/US Customary units to milliliters (mL) using the following standard conversions:

  • 1 oz = 30 mL
  • 1 cup = 240 mL
  1. Clear Soda:4 oz × 30 mL/oz = 120 mL
  2. Toast:0 mL(Solid food is not counted as fluid intake for I&O)
  3. Water:12 oz × 30 mL/oz = 360 mL
  4. Fruit-flavored Gelatin:1 cup ×× 240 mL/cup = 240 mL (Gelatin melts at body temperature and is counted as fluid intake)
  5. Chicken Broth:1/2 cup × 240 mL/cup = 120 mL
  6. IV Fluid (0.9% Sodium Chloride):300 mL

Total Intake (mL) = (120 mL) + (0 mL) + (360 mL) + (240 mL) + (120 mL) + (300 mL)

Total Intake (mL) = 1,140 mL
