Passport or advanced driver's license

B.

Nave and Date of Birth in add on the MRN can be used as the 3rd identifier

C.

Room number and roommates’ crosscheck

D.

Credit Card and insurance

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

 A. Passport or advanced driver’s license: These are not standard patient identifiers in healthcare settings.

B. Name and Date of Birth in add on the MRN can be used as the 3rd identifier: The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals require at least two identifiers (Name and Date of Birth). The Medical Record Number (MRN) can serve as a third identifier for additional accuracy.

C. Room number and roommates’ crosscheck: Room numbers are not reliable because patients may be moved to different rooms.

D. Credit Card and insurance: Financial information does not verify the identity of the patient receiving care.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Distribution: Distribution refers to the movement of the drug from the bloodstream to tissues and organs. Poor circulation can impair drug distribution, leading to reduced effectiveness or toxic accumulation.

B. Excretion: Excretion is the elimination of drugs, primarily through the kidneys. While circulation plays a role, excretion is more directly affected by renal function.

C. Metabolism: Metabolism occurs primarily in the liver and is not the primary concern in a client with poor circulation.

D. Absorption: Absorption refers to how the drug enters the bloodstream, which is more dependent on the GI tract (oral meds) or injection site (IV, IM meds) rather than circulation.

Correct Answer is ["320"]

Explanation

  • 10 mL medication
  • 3 oz formula (1 oz = 30 mL → 3 × 30 = 90 mL)
  • 2 oz juice (2 × 30 = 60 mL)
  • IV fluids at 20 mL/hr for 8 hours (20 × 8 = 160 mL)

Total intake: 10 + 90 + 60 + 160 = 320 mL

Correct Answer: 320
