Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving a peripheral IV infusion and notes infiltration of fluid into the tissues surrounding the insertion site. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Elevating the extremity helps reduce swelling and minimizes fluid spread by aiding drainage back into the bloodstream, making it the most effective initial action for infiltration.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer a controlled substance to a client who is experiencing pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take first?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin 1 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL via intermittent IV bolus over 30 min. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flow rate calculation: (100 mL / 30 min) × 15 gtt/mL = 50 gtt/min, ensuring accurate delivery over the specified time.
