A nurse is preparing to administer moxifloxacin 400 mg by intermittent IV bolus over 60 min. Available is moxifloxacin 400 mg in 250 mL dextrose 5% (DSW). The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["63"]

- To calculate the gtt/min, use the formula: gtt/min = (volume in mL x drop factor in gtt/mL) / time in min

- Substitute the given values: gtt/min = (250 mL x 15 gtt/mL) / 60 min - Simplify and round: gtt/min = 62.5 gtt/min ≈ 63 gtt/min

- The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 63 gtt/min

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Rowing B. Tennis C. Canoeing D. Swimming

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Rowing - This activity can put strain on the lower back and may exacerbate low back pain.

B. Tennis - This sport involves a lot of twisting and sudden movements, which can potentially worsen low back pain.

C. Canoeing - While generally a low-impact activity, it still requires core stability which could potentially aggravate low back pain.

D. Swimming - Swimming is a highly recommended exercise for individuals with low back pain. It is a low-impact activity that helps strengthen the muscles in the back, as well as other parts of the body, without putting excessive strain on the spine. Additionally, the buoyancy of water provides support, reducing the impact on the joints.
