A nurse is caring for a client whose intake and output flowsheet for 0700 to 1500
indicates the following: voided x3: 350 ml, 200 ml, 150 ml; wound drainage 2tsp; and
emesis 2 oz. What total output in millimeters should the nurse document for this 8 hr
period correct answer
(fill in the blank with the numeric value only, round the answer to the nearest whole
number, and use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing 0.)
770
Convert tsp to ml:
Step 1: what is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate correct answer Ml
Step 2: set up an equation and solve for x
1 tsp/5 ml = 2 tsp/ x ml
X= 10
Step 3: round if necessary
Step 4: determine if the conversion to ml makes sense. If 1 tsp= 5 ml, then 2 tsp= 10 ml.
Convert oz to ml:
Step 1: what is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate correct answer Ml
,Step 2: set up an equation and solve for x
1 oz/30 ml = 2 oz/ x ml
X= 60
Step 3: round if necessary
Step 4: determine if the conversion to ml makes sense. If 1 oz= 30 ml, then 2 oz= 60 ml.
For the total intake, calculate:
350 ml + 200 ml + 150 ml + 10 ml + 60 ml = 770 ml
A nurse is teaching the parent of a child who is to take 30 ml of a liquid medication. The
parent has a hollow medication spoon that has marks to indicate teaspoons and
tablespoons. How many tablespoons of medication should the nurse instruct the parent
to give to the child correct answer
(fill in the blank with the numeric value only, round the answer to the nearest whole
number, and use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing 0.)

15 ml/ 1 tbsp = 30 ml/ x tbsp
15x = 30
X=2
,(if 15 ml=1 tbsp then, 30 ml=2 tbsp)
A nurse is preparing to administer a unit of packed rbc's to a client when she discovers
that the iv line is no longer patent. The iv team informs her that someone can come to
initiate a new line in 30 min. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
correct answer
A) return the blood to the laboratory
B) place the blood in the medication room
C) place the blood in the refrigerator
D) leave the blood at the client's bedside
A) return the blood to the laboratory -because the nurse knows that the delay will be
more than a few minutes, she should return the unit of packed rbcs immediately to the
laboratory where the technician will maintain it at the appropriate temperature until the
client is ready to receive it.
- b) place the blood in the medication room: the unit of packed rbcs should not be at
room temperature for any length of time because the lack of temperature control could
damage the blood.
- c) place the blood in the refrigerator: blood products require specific temperature
regulation, which is not consistently possible in a standard nursing unit refrigerator.
- d) leave the blood at the client's bedside: the nurse should never leave blood products
or medication at the bedside due to the potential for loss, misuse, or contamination.
A nurse is preparing to administer an intramuscular injection to a young adult client
which of the following injection sites is the safest for this client correct answer
A) vastus lateralis
, B) dorsogluteal
C) deltoid
D) ventrogluteal
D) ventrogluteal
According to the evidence-based practice, the ventrogluteal site is the safest injection
site for all adults because it contains the gluteal muscles and it does not contain major
nerves or blood vessels
- a) the fastest ladder is safe for adults because it is thick in away from major blood
vessels or nerves. However, according to evidence-based practice, it is not the safest
injection site.
- b) the dorsogluteal site is close to the sciatic nerve as well as the superior gluteal
nerve and artery therefore according to ebp it is not the safest injection site
C) the deltoid is easy to access however according to ebp it is not the safest site
because the muscle is small and sometimes poorly developed. Additionally it is close to
numerous blood vessels and nerves
A nurse is preparing to administer an intramuscular injection to a client who is
overweight which of the following side should the nurse select for the injection correct
answer
A) lower medial quadrant of the buttock near the coccyx
B) side hip between the iliac crest and anterior iliac spine
C) tissue of the posterior upper arm
D) lower inner thigh 4 finger-widths above the patella
B) side hip between the iliac crest and anterior iliac spine
