Question 1 of 5
A nurse prepares to replace the nearly empty container of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for a client when she finds that there has been a delay in receiving the new container of solution from the pharmacy. Which of the following solutions should the nurse infuse until the next container of TPN solution becomes available?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dextrose 10% in water (D10W) provides a glucose source to help prevent hypoglycemia in clients when TPN is temporarily unavailable.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride (NaCl) 1000 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (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:
To calculate the infusion rate for an IV, the total volume to be infused (in this case, 1000 mL) is divided by the total time of infusion (8 hours). So, the calculation would be 1000 mL divided by 8 hours, which equals 125 mL per hour.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of clients about tick-borne illnesses. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching regarding ticks?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible with fine-tipped tweezers allows for complete removal without squeezing the tick's body.
