Question 3 of 5
A nurse caring for a client who has a deep vein thrombosis and is prescribed heparin by continuous infusion at 1,200 U/hr. Available is heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL DSW. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 24
Rationale:
To calculate mL/hr: mL/hr = (
Total units required per hour) / (Units/mL in the solution).
Total units required = 1,200 U/hr. Units/mL = 25,000 U / 500 mL = 50 U/mL. mL/hr = 1,200 U/hr / 50 U/mL = 24 mL/hr.

Correct Answer: D

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clozapine 300 mg PO daily to a client who has schizophrenia. The amount available is clozapine 200 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1.5
Rationale:
To calculate: 300 mg / 200 mg = 1.5 tablets. Since you cannot administer half of a tablet, you would need to administer 2 tablets to achieve a total of 300 mg.
