IV calculations: (rate-mL/h and gtt/min)
IV rate calculations will be rounded to nearest whole number.
Adult calculations: the calculation will be rounded to the nearest tenth. Drug Calculation safety considerations:
Examples:
5 must be answered as 0.5
5.0 must be answered as 5
To promote safety, a zero must be placed to the left of the decimal point in answers that are less than one. No zero is allowed to the right of the decimal point in answers that are whole numbers.

Question
The nurse received report for the client at 1400. The client was given medication through her NG tube at 1800: Ampicillin 20 mL, Pepcid 10 mL, and Reglan 15 mL. After each medication was given, there was a 30 mL flush with water. Her Hemovac drained 320 mL. Her chest tube drained 210 mL. At 2000, she drank 240 mL of water. Her IV was infusing @ 150mL/hour when report was received. She has voided 275 mL. 325 mL and 310 mL.
What is her I&O from 1400- 2200?
(Separate the answers with a comma)
The Correct Answer is ["2070"," 1440"]
The calculation is as follows:
Intake = (20 + 10 + 15) mL x 3 (medication and flushes) + 240 mL (water intake) + 150 mL/h x 6 h (IV infusion) = 2070 mL
Output = 320 mL (Hemovac drainage) + 210 mL (chest tube drainage) + (275 + 325 + 310) mL (urine output) = 1440 mL

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Late decelerations typically start after the contraction has reached its peak and return to baseline after the contraction ends, not during the contraction.
B. Early decelerations coincide with the contraction and return to baseline by the end of the contraction. They are typically considered benign and related to head compression.
C. Accelerations are brief increases in the FHR above the baseline and are usually associated with fetal movement.
D. Variable decelerations are abrupt decreases in the FHR, often unrelated to contractions, and have an erratic pattern.
Correct Answer is ["0.2"]
Explanation
Dose available: 10 mg/ml Ordered dose 2mg
Dose to administer= ordered dose/available dose
= 2/10 = 0.2ml
