Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dopamine hydrochloride 4 mcg/kg/min via continuous infusion. Available is dopamine hydrochloride in a solution of 800 mg in a 250 mL bag. The client weighs 80 kg. The nurse should set the IV infusion to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculate: 4 mcg/kg/min × 80 kg = 320 mcg/min = 0.32 mg/min. Hourly: 0.32 mg/min × 60 = 19.2 mg/hr. Solution: 800 mg/250 mL = 3.2 mg/mL. Volume: 19.2 mg ÷ 3.2 mg/mL = 6 mL/hr.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an electrolyte imbalance. Which of the following foods should the nurse include as the highest in potassium?
Correct Answer: A
