RN ATI Adult Medsurg Proctored Exam 2023 With NGN Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride 10 mEq IV over 1 hr to a client. Available is potassium chloride 10 mEq in 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
To calculate the infusion rate, we need to use the formula: (Desired dose ÷ Volume) x 60 minutes. In this case, the desired dose is 10 mEq over 1 hour, and the volume is 100 mL.
So, (10 ÷ 100) x 60 = 6 mL/hr.
Therefore, the nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver 100 mL/hr. This ensures the correct administration of potassium chloride over the specified time frame.

Choice A (50 mL/hr) and B (75 mL/hr) are incorrect as they would result in the underdosing of potassium chloride.
Choice D (125 mL/hr) is incorrect as it would result in the overdosing of potassium chloride. The correct answer, C (100 mL/hr), ensures the proper administration of the medication within the specified parameters.
