The nurse is caring for a client with an oral temperature of 100.6° F. What temperature in Celsius should the nurse document in the medical record? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
The Correct Answer is ["38.1"]
- Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula: C = (F - 32) x 5/9 - Substitute 100.6 for F and calculate C
- C = (100.6 - 32) x 5/9
- C = 38.1111
- Round to the nearest tenth
- C = 38.1
- Document 38.1°C in the medical record

Correct Answer is ["180"]
Explanation
- Convert client's weight to kg: 165 lb / 2.2 = 75 kg
- Calculate dobutamine dose in mg/min: 2 mcg/kg/min x 75 kg = 150 mcg/min
- Convert dobutamine dose to mg/hour: 150 mcg/min x 60 min = 9000 mcg/hour - Convert dobutamine dose to mg/hour: 9000 mcg/hour / 1000 = 9 mg/hour
- Calculate infusion rate in mL/hour: 9 mg/hour / 50 mg x 1000 mL = 180 mL/hour
- Answer: The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver 180 mL/hour.
Correct Answer is ["12000"]
Explanation
- To calculate the units of heparin in 12 hours, multiply the infusion rate by the concentration of heparin and the duration of infusion.
- Infusion rate = 25 mL/hour
- Concentration of heparin = 20,000 units / 500 mL
- Duration of infusion = 12 hours
- Units of heparin in 12 hours = 25 x (20,000 / 500) x 12
- Units of heparin in 12 hours = 12,000
