INTRO FINAL Flashcards
GIVEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LIQUID AND A TIME PERIOD, WHAT IS THE NECESSARY IV FLOW RATE IN ML/HR?
VOLUME (ML) / TIME (HR) = Y (FLOW RATE IN ML/HR)
WHAT MEASUREMENT IS USED WHEN AN IV IS REGULATED ELECTRONICALLY BY INFUSION PUMP?
ML/HR
PATIENT IS ORDERED 1000 ML D5W IV TO INFUSE IN 10 HOURS BY INFUSION PUMP. WHAT IS THE FLOW RATE?
100 ML/HR
1000ML/10HR
THE PHYSICIAN ORDERS ANCEF 400 MG IV Q8H FOR A CHILD WEIGHING 32 LBS. YOU HAVE ANCEF 330 MG/ML. THE RECOMMENDED DAILY IV DOSAGE FOR A CHILD IS 100 MG/KG/DAY IN DIVIDED DOSES OF Q6-8H.
A. CHILD’S WEIGHT IN KG
B. WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED SAFE DOSAGE RANGE FOR THIS CHILD
C. IS THE ORDER SAFE
D. HOW MANY ML WILL YOU PREPARE
A. 14.5 KG
B. 1450 MAX
C. YES, ORDER RESULTS IN 1200 MG
D. 1.2 ML 400/330 = 1.21 * 1 = 1.21 = 1.2

SAFE AND THERAPEUTIC
GIVEN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LIQUID, A TIME PERIOD, AND A DROP FACTOR, WHAT IS THE NECESSARY IV FLOW RATE IN GTTS/MIN?
VOLUME (ML)/ TIME (MIN) * DROP FACTOR (GTTS/ML) = Y (FLOW RATE IN GTTS/MIN)
MEASUREMENT USED WHEN IV IS REGULATED MANUALLY
GTTS/ML
*CAN’T GIVE FRACTION SO ROUND TO NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER
CALCULATE THE FLOW RATE FOR 1200 ML OF NS TO BE INFUSED IN 6 HOURS WITH A DROP FACTOR OF 15 GTTS/ML
ML/MIN*GTTS/ML=Y
1. CONVERT 6 HOURS TO MINUTES = 360 MINUTES
2. 1200 ML / 360 MIN * 15 GTTS/ML = 50 GTTS/MIN

a provider’s prescription calls for 10 mL of 250 mg cephalexin liquid by mouth. How many teaspoons should the nurse instruct the client to take?
A. WHAT UNIT OF MEASUREMENT DO WE NEED
B. WHAT DOSE DO WE ADMIN (DESIRED)
C. WHAT IS AVAILABLE (HAVE)
D. SHOULD WE CONVERT
E. WHAT IS THE ANSWER
A. TSP
B. 10 ML
C. 5 ML PER 1 TSP
D. YES, ML DOES NOT EQUAL TEASPOON
E. 5ML/1TSP = 10ML/X TSP SO X TSP = 2 TSP

RATIO AND PROPORTION METHOD
HAVE / QUANTITY = DESIRED / X
A nurse is preparing to administer 174 mg of amoxicillin/clavulanate oral suspension to a client. The amount available is amoxicillin/clavulanate 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
X ML = 125 MG / 5 ML = 174 MG / X
X ML = 125X = 870
X ML = 125X / 125 = 870 / 125
X ML = 6.96 ML
X ML = 7 ML
DESIRED OVER HAVE METHOD
X = DESIRED X QUANTITY / HAVE
A nurse is preparing to administer 174 mg of amoxicillin/clavulanate oral suspension to a client. The amount available is amoxicillin/clavulanate 125 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
DESIRED OVER HAVE
X = DESIRED X QUANTITY / HAVE
X ML = 174 MG X 5 ML / 125 MG
X ML = 870 ML / 125
X ML = 6.96 ML
X ML = 7 ML
