A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 40 mg via IV bolus to a client. The amount available is furosemide 10 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
The Correct Answer is ["4"]
Desired dose = 40 mg
Available concentration = 10 mg/mL
To calculate the volume to administer:
Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL)
Volume = 40 mg / 10 mg/mL = 4 mL

Correct Answer is ["120"]
Explanation
The nurse is administering Ringer’s lactate by continuous IV infusion at a rate of 120 mL/hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL.
To find out how many gtt/min the IV flow rate should be set to, we can use the formula:
Flowrate(gtt/min) = Volume(mL/hr) × Dropfactor(gtt/mL) / 60min/hr
Substituting the given values:
Flowrate(gtt/min) = 120mL/hr × 60gtt/mL / 60min/hr = 120gtt/min
So, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 120 gtt/min.
Correct Answer is ["117"]
Explanation
Infusion time in hours = 3 hours
Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 350 mL / 3 hours = 116.67 mL/hr
Rounded to the nearest whole number = 117 mL/hr
