Question 1 of 5
A nurse is coordinating the care of a group of clients with an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse not assign to the AP?
Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer sucralfate 80 mg/kg/day to divide into four doses per day to a child who weighs 35 kg. The amount available is sucralfate oral suspension 1 g/10 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 7
Rationale:
Total daily dose: 80 mg/kg × 35 kg = 2800 mg. Per dose: 2800 mg ÷ 4 = 700 mg. 700 mg = 0.7 g; 1 g/10 mL means 0.7 g = 7 mL.
