Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is receiving a secondary infusion of azithromycin 500 mg in 500 mL of normal saline (NS) to be infused over 2 hours. The intravenous (IV) administration set delivers 10 gtt/mL. How many gtt/min should the nurse regulate the infusion? (Enter Calculation(ans only)al value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 42

Rationale: Infusion rate: 500 mL / 2 hr = 250 mL/hr. Drops per minute: (250 mL/hr × 10 gtt/mL) / 60 min = 41.67, rounded to 42 gtt/min (matches 55-Q54). This ensures accurate azithromycin delivery.

Question 2 of 5

When administering medications to a group of clients, which client should the nurse closely monitor for development of acute kidney injury (AKI)?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Vancomycin (
B) is nephrotoxic, requiring AKI monitoring (matches 55-Q14). Sucralfate (
A), lorazepam (
C), and digoxin (
D) have minimal renal toxicity risks.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is planning the home care of a client who is receiving a mydriatic medication. Which environment is best for this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Mydriatic medications dilate pupils, increasing light sensitivity. A dimly lit room (

Question 4 of 5

A client in the surgical recovery area asks the nurse to bring the largest possible dose of pain medication available. Which action should the nurse implement first?

C) quantifies pain and guides dosing (matches 55-Q3). Last dose timing (

Question 5 of 5

A client receives a prescription for dalteparin 2500 units subcutaneously 2 hours before a scheduled procedure. The medication is available in a 5000 units/0.2 mL prefilled syringe. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter Calculation(ans only) value only)

Correct Answer: 0.1

Rationale: Dosage calculation: (2500 units / 5000 units) × 0.2 mL = 0.1 mL. The nurse should administer 0.1 mL to deliver 2500 units of dalteparin.
