Question

Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified.

PLEASE HELP WITH 16 NURSING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

The client is prescribed 1,000 mL NS IV to infuse over 24 h. How many mL/hr will this client receive? Round to the nearest whole number. 7. Match the following tubing names with the drops per ml they deliver.

The nurse decides to set up the IV using an IV infusion pump. The IV tubing set has a drop factor of 15 gtt / mL. What does the nurse need to calculate in order to correctly set up the IV infusion? A.The number of mL / hr for the IV infusion B. The number of gtt / mL for the IV infusioN C. The number of gtt / min for the IV infusion D. The number of mL / min for the IV infusion

9. The order is for an IV of 1000 mL D5/0.9 NS q.12h. The nurse begins the gravity IV at 0800, using a standard microdrip IV tubing set. The flow rate for this IV is ______ gtt / min.

10. The physician writes an order for an IV of 1 L Lactated Ringer’s to infuse at 150 mL / hr. The IV tubing set has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate for the gravity IV? _________ gtt / min

11. A liter of D5/0.45 NS with 30 mEq KCl is to infuse over 12 hours. How many mL / hr will the nurse set on the IV pump? ________ mL / hr

12. The physician orders a unit of packed red blood cells to infuse in 2 hours. The unit contains 250 mL. The blood tubing administration set has a drop factor of 10 gtt / mL. The flow rate for the infusion of packed red blood cell is _____ gtt / min.

13. The physician orders 300 mg cimetidine IV q.6h. The pharmacy sends the medication in a 50 mL bag of NS with the directions to infuse the IV over 15 minutes. The nurse is correct in setting the IV infusion pump to ____ mL / hr.

14. The order is for an IV of 500 mL D5/0.225 NS with 20 mEq KCl q.10h. The nurse has a microdrip IV tubing set. The flow rate for the IV is ______ gtt / min.

15. The physician writes an order for a primary IV of 1 L D5NS with 30 mEq KCl q.12h. The IV tubing set has a drop factor of 12 gtt / mL. What is the flow rate for the gravity IV?

16.D5NS continuously @75 mL/hr using a standard macrodrip tubing.

1.   Calculate the volume/min.                         

2. Calculate the volume/24 hrs. The total amount the patient will receive in 24 hours

3. Calculate the volume/min. if the rate were decreased to 50 mL/hr.   

Answer 1

1)1 drop=0.05ml

30gtts/min=1.5ml

when 1min=1.5ml

so60 min (1hr)=?

60×1.5÷1=90 ml/hr

2)Given

Total volume to be infused :500ml

Total hours:4 hour

simple calculations

When 500ml to be given in 4 hr

Then 250 ml will be given in 2 hr

therefore 125ml will be give in 1 hr

3)Piggyback can be classified as intermittent infusion because it is available in the form of 50 to 250ml bag used to administer medication

4)Given

120 ml/hr

so in 2hr30min=?

Cross multiply and divide or simple mind calculation can be done

When 1 hr=120ml

Then 2hr=240ml

30min=60 ml

So 2hr 30 min=240+60=300ml
