Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 30 mg/kg/day divided equally every 12 hr to a toddler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin 200 mg/5 mL suspension. How many mL 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: 5.6 mL
Rationale: Calculation: 33 lb / 2.2 = 15 kg; 30 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 450 mg/day; 450 mg / 2 doses = 225 mg/dose; 225 mg ÷ (200 mg/5 mL) = 5.625 mL, rounded to 5.6 mL per dose.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant who weighs 3500 g and is prescribed a dose of cephazolin 50 mg/kg by intermittent IV bolus three times daily. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero)
Correct Answer: 175.0 mg
Rationale: Dosage calculation: 50 mg/kg × 3.5 kg (3500 g / 1000) = 175 mg, rounded to 175.0 mg per dose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform an abdominal assessment on a child. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow.
Correct Answer: C,B,A,D
Rationale: The correct sequence is Inspection, Auscultation, Superficial palpation, Deep palpation. Inspection is first to observe without discomfort, followed by auscultation to assess baseline bowel sounds before palpation alters them. Superficial palpation assesses tenderness gently, and deep palpation is last to minimize discomfort.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who is at 7 weeks of gestation. The client reports urinary frequency and asks if this will continue until delivery. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Urinary frequency is common in the first trimester due to hormonal changes and the growing uterus, and it may recur late in pregnancy as the fetus presses on the bladder. This response accurately describes the pattern.
