Correct Answer is A

Explanation

To calculate drops per minute, the nurse should multiply the infusion rate in mL/hr by the drop factor in gtt/mL and divide by 60min/hr. In this case, the infusion rate is 125mL/hr and the drop factor is15gtt/mL so, the nurse should deliver(125mL/hrx15gtt/mL)/60min/hr=31gtt/min.

A. 3tsp B. 4tsp C. 5tsp D. 6tsp

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

To calculate the volume of liquid medication to administer based on its concentration and prescribed dose, the nurse should divide the prescribed dose by concentration and multiply by the volume in which concentration is expressed. In this case, the concentration is 250 mg/5mL and the prescribed dose is 750 mg so, the nurse should administer(750mg/250mg)x5mL=15mL of medication. Since 1 tsp is equivalent to 5mL, the nurse should administer 15mL/5mL/tsp=3tsp of medication.
