Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The nurse should administer 2 tablets.
Since each tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin, to administer a dose of 650 mg, the nurse should give 650 mg / 325 mg/tablet = 2 tablets.
Choice A is incorrect because 1 tablet would only provide a dose of 325 mg.
Choice C is incorrect because 3 tablets would provide a dose of 975 mg.
Choice D is incorrect because 4 tablets would provide a dose of 1300 mg.

A. Inject air into the regular insulin first. B. Shake the NPH insulin until it is well mixed. C. Draw up the NPH insulin into the syringe first. D. Discard regular insulin if it appears cloudy.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

“Inject air into the regular insulin first.” When mixing regular insulin and NPH insulin in the same syringe, the nurse should instruct the client to inject air into the NPH insulin vial first, then inject air into the regular insulin vial.
After that, the client should draw up the regular insulin into the syringe first, followed by the NPH insulin.
Choice B is not correct because NPH insulin should not be shaken vigorously as it can damage the insulin molecules.
Choice C is not correct because the regular insulin should be drawn up into the syringe first.
Choice D is not correct because regular insulin is a clear solution and should not appear cloudy.
