240 mL

960 mL

30 mL

480 mL

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. To convert ounces (oz) to milliliters (mL), you can use the conversion factor of 1 oz = 29.5735 mL. Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are in 8 ounces:
8 oz * 29.5735 mL/oz = 236.588 mL ≈ 240 mL

B. 960ml is incorrect

C. 30ml is incorrect

D. 480ml is incorrect

Correct Answer is ["30 "]

Explanation

Given:

Desired dose of magnesium hydroxide: 2.4 g
Available strength of magnesium hydroxide suspension: 400 mg/5 mL

First, let's convert the desired dose from grams to milligrams:

2.4 g = 2400 mg

Now, let's find out how many milliliters of magnesium hydroxide suspension correspond to the desired dose:

Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration

Volume (mL) = 2400 mg / 400 mg/5 mL Volume (mL) = (2400 mg * 5 mL) / 400 mg Volume (mL) = 30 mL

So, the nurse should administer 30 mL of magnesium hydroxide suspension.

Correct Answer is ["1.8"]

Explanation

Given:

Desired dose of gentamicin: 1 mg/kg
Client's weight: 154 lb
Available strength of gentamicin solution: 40 mg/mL

First, convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms:

154 lb ÷ 2.2= 70kg

Now, calculate the desired dose of gentamicin:

Desired dose = Dosage per kg × Weight Desired dose = 1 mg/kg × 670 kg Desired dose = 70 mg

Now, find out how many milliliters of gentamicin correspond to this dose: Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration

Volume (mL) = 70 mg / 40 mg/mL Volume (mL) ≈ 1.75mL

rounded off to the nearest tenths= 1.8ml
