Correct Answer is ["94"]

Explanation

To answer this question, we need to use the formula: mL/hr = total volume (mL) / total time (hr). In this case, the total volume is 750 mL and the total time is 8 hr.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get: mL/hr = 750 / 8. Simplifying this fraction, we get: mL/hr = 93.75.

Since we need to round to the nearest whole number, the final answer is: mL/hr = 94. Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 94 mL/hr.

Correct Answer is ["2"]

Explanation

To calculate the number of tablets, the nurse should divide the prescribed dose by the available dose. In this case, 150 mg / 75 mg = 2 tablets. Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 tablets of amitriptyline.
