Rationale: A stage 3 pressure ulcer is characterized by full-thickness skin loss that may extend into the subcutaneous tissue layer but does not involve exposure of muscle, tendon, or bone. The ulcer appears as a deep crater, and there may be damage to the surrounding tissue as well.
Extract:
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about ileostomy care with a client.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse should recognize which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (D5W) 100 mL to infuse over 1 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/ml.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: 25
Rationale: (100 mL × 15 gtt/mL) / 60 min = 25 gtt/min.
Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 25 drops per minute.
