RN Advanced Math Assessment A65 Part 2
1. The physician has written an order for a medication, 3,000 units to be
given SQ.You have on hand 5,000 units/mL.You will administer mL.-
: 3000/5000 *1
= 0.6mL
2. The surgeon orders for 75 mg of a medication to be given IV push.The medication is available in a concentration
of 125 mg/2 mL.You will administer
mL to the patient. (record your answer using one decimal place
Answer> 1.2
3. The sliding scale order states: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30]= number of units of insulin to be given. At 1600 the
patient's blood glucose is 150.You will administer units of insulin (round to the nearest whole number)
Answer> - 150-100/30
=1.66
rounded to nearest whole number = 2
4. Your patient's blood glucose is 302 mg/dL.The sliding scale order is to administer insulin using this formula:
[FORMULA: (BG-100)÷40]= number of units to administer.Based upon your patient's glucose, you should administer
units of insulin. (round to the nearest whole number
Answer> 302-100/40
=5.05
rounded = 5
5. The physician has ordered a medication to be given 0.05 mg/kg/day in 1,000 mL of fluid.The patient
weighs 246 lbs.The dose added to the 1,000 mL bag of fluid should be mg. (round your answer to one decimal
place
Answer> 0.05*111.5 (the weight in kg)
= 5.575mg a day
=5.6
1/3
, 6. The surgeon orders a medication 1.5 gms IV.The pharmacy delivers the medication as 1.5 grams in 150 mL IV
solution to be infused over 90 minutes. The rate of the infusion is mL/hr
Answer> 100
7. The physician orders for 1 liter of IV fluid to be given over 6 hours.The available tubing set delivers 15 gtts/mL.
After your calculation, the set should be calibrated to deliver gtts/min. (round to the nearest whole num- ber

8. Your patient's blood sugar is 201 mg/dL.The sliding scale insulin order says to use the following formula to
calculate the number of units to ad- minister: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30+10]= number of units to administer. Based
upon your patient's blood sugar, the nurse should administer units of
insulin.(round to the nearest whole number
