Question 3 of 5
A nurse is mixing regular insulin and NPH insulin in the same syringe prior to administering it to a client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is administering medications to a client who weighs 132 lb. The prescription reads chloramphenicol, 50mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses. Available is chloramphenicol 100 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse give with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 132 lb ÷ 2.2 = 60 kg; 60 kg × 50 mg/kg = 3000 mg/day; 3000 mg ÷ 4 = 750 mg/dose; 750 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 7.5 mL.
