A nurse is documenting the oral intake of a client who drank 8 oz of milk. The nurse should document that this amount is equal to how many ml?

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 ["1"]

Explanation

Client's weight: 220 lb

Desired dose of enoxaparin: 1 mg/kg

Available strength of enoxaparin: 30 mg/0.3 mL

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

220 lb ÷ 2.20462 ≈ 99.79 kg

Now, calculate the desired dose of enoxaparin:

Desired dose = Dosage per kg × Weight Desired dose = 1 mg/kg × 99.79 kg ≈ 99.79 mg 30mg = 0.3ml

Therefore, 99.79mg = 99.79 * 0.3/30

=0.9979

Rounded off to the nearest whole number= 1ml

Correct Answer is ["1 "]

Explanation

Given:

Desired dose of metronidazole: 7.5 mg/kg
Client's weight: 146.7 lb
Available strength of metronidazole tablets: 500 mg

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

146.7 lb ÷ 2.20462 = 66.57 kg (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Now, calculate the desired dose of metronidazole:

Desired dose = Dosage per kg × Weight Desired dose = 7.5 mg/kg × 66.57 kg Desired dose ≈ 498.775 mg

Next, find out how many tablets are needed to achieve this dose: Number of tablets = Desired dose / Strength per tablet

Number of tablets = 498.775 mg / 500 mg Number of tablets ≈ 0.997

Since we cannot administer a fraction of a tablet, the nurse should administer 1 tablet of metronidazole.
