Question 1 of 5
Which statement about environmental safety is accurate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Advising clients to have an ABC fire extinguisher is accurate, as it is versatile for multiple fire types. Opening windows may worsen a fire, aiming the extinguisher follows pulling the pin, and rapid lifting risks injury.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 500 mL of an I.V. solution to a child over 12 hours via tubing that delivers microdrips at 60 gtt/mL. At what rate should the nurse infuse the solution?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Calculate: 500 mL over 12 hours = 41.67 mL/hour. For microdrip (60 gtt/mL), 41.67 mL/hour ×60 gtt/mL = 2500 gtt/hour ÷ 60 minutes = 41.67 gtt/minute, rounded to 42 gtt/minute.
