Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous enteral feedings through a gastrostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flushing the tube with 10 mL of water every 2 hours prevents clogging and maintains patency. Tubing changes are typically every 24-48 hours heating formula risks burns and routine residual checks are not standard.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's intake and output and notes the following: 0.9% sodium chloride 600 mL IV infusion
Correct Answer: 440
Rationale: Net fluid intake is calculated as total intake (600 mL + 100 mL = 700 mL) minus total output (20047 mL + 40 mL + 20 mL = 260 mL) resulting in 440 mL.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer gentamicin 2 mg/kg IV to a client who weighs 220 lb. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 200
Rationale: Convert 220 lb to 99.79 kg (220 × 0.453592). Multiply by 2 mg/kg: 99.79 × 2 = 199.58 mg rounded to 200 mg.
