A 180-pound adult male is admitted to the Emergency Center after receiving thermal
burns to 60 percent of his body. Using the Parkland formula of 4 ml/kg/24 hours, the
client should receive how many ml of fluid during the first 24 hours? (Enter the
numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

19632
Using the Parkland formula, the client's fluid requirements for the first 24
hours after injury: 4 ml lactated Ringer's solution x Body weight (in
kilograms) x Percent burn. Convert 180 pounds to kg = .2 = 81.8 kg 4
ml x 81.8 kg x 60 = 19632 ml over the first 24 hours.
A male client receives a prescription for ondansetron hydrochloride (Zofran) 4 mg IV
to prevent postoperative nausea after an inguinal hernia repair. The medication is
available in 2 mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value
, only.)
Use ratio and proportion, 4 mg : X ml = 2 mg : 1 ml 2X = 4 X = 2

Use ratio and proportion, 4 mg : X ml = 2 mg : 1 ml 2X = 4 X = 2
The healthcare provider prescribes oxytocin (Pitocin) 0.5 milliunits/minute for a client
in labor. One liter Ringer's Lactate with 10 units of oxytocin (Pitocin) is infusing. The
nurse should program the infusion pump at how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value
only.)

Using the formula, D/H x Q, 0.5 milliunits / 10,000 milliunits x 1000 ml = 0.05
ml/minute. Multiply by 60 minutes = 3 ml/hour.
A client with pericardial effusion has phrenic nerve compression resulting in recurrent
hiccups. The healthcare provider prescribes metoclopramide (Reglan) liquid 10 mg PO
q 6 hours. Reglan is available as 5 mg/5 ml. A measuring device marked in teaspoons
is being used. How many teaspoons should the nurse administer?

First, using the formula, Desired dose/dose on Hand x Quantity of volume
on hand (D/H x Q), 10 mg / 5 mg x 5ml = 10 ml. Next using the known
conversion of 5 ml = 1 tsp: 5 ml : 1 tsp :: 10 ml : X : 1 / X 5X = 10 X = 2
