Question 2 Type: MCSA A client is receiving 100 mL of intravenous fluid for 18 hours. How many liters of fluid did the client receive? 1. 1.2 2. 1.5 3. 1.8 4. 2.2 Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: L = 1 L/1000 mL x 100 mL/1 hr x 18 hr/1. Multiply all the numerators (1 x 100 x 18 = 1800). Multiply all the denomenators (1000 x 1 x 1 = 1000). 1800/1000 = 1.8. The mL and the hrs cancel each other out, which leaves the label of the answer as L. The client received 1.8 L of intravenous fluid. Rationale 2: L = 1 L/1000 mL x 100 mL/1 hr x 18 hr/1. Multiply all the numerators (1 x 100 x 18 = 1800). Multiply all the denomenators (1000 x 1 x 1 = 1000). 1800/1000 = 1.8. The mL and the hrs cancel each other out, which leaves the label of the answer as L. The client received 1.8 L of intravenous fluid. Rationale 3: L = 1 L/1000 mL x 100 mL/1 hr x 18 hr/1. Multiply all the numerators (1 x 100 x 18 = 1800).

Question 3 Type: MCSA The home care nurse reviews the following medication order for a client: Take 2 t ampicillin oral suspension every 6 hours. How many T of the medication will the client take in 1 day? 1. 2 2. 2 1/3 3. 2 2/3 4. 3 1/3 Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1: T/day = 1 T/3 tsp x 2 tsp/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day. Multiply all the numerators (1 x 2 x 24 = 48). Multiply all the denominators (3 x 6 x 1 = 18). 48/18 = 2.66. Household measurements use fractions, not decimals. Convert 0.66 into a fraction by placing 66/100 which reduces to 2/3; therefore, the answer is 2 2/3 T will be taken each day. Rationale 2: T/day = 1 T/3 tsp x 2 tsp/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day. Multiply all the numerators (1 x 2 x 24 = 48). Multiply all the denominators (3 x 6 x 1 = 18). 48/18 = 2.66. Household measurements use fractions, not decimals.

Question 8 Type: MCSA A client is prescribed clarithromycin (Biaxin) 500 mg PO every 6 hours for 10 days. How many grams of the medication will the client take during the full course of the antibiotic? 1. 0.02 2. 0.2 3. 2 4. 20 Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: g = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day x 10 days/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 500 x 24 x 10 = 120,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 6 x 1 x 1 = 6,000). 120,000/6,000 = 20 grams in 10 days. Rationale 2: g = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day x 10 days/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 500 x 24 x 10 = 120,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 6 x 1 x 1 = 6,000). 120,000/6,000 = 20 grams in 10 days. Rationale 3: g = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day x 10 days/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 500 x 24 x 10 = 120,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 6 x 1 x 1 = 6,000). 120,000/6,000 = 20 grams in 10 days. Rationale 4: g = 1 g/1000 mg x 500 mg/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day x 10 days/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 500 x 24 x 10 = 120,000). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 6 x 1 x 1 = 6,000). 120,000/6,000 = 20 grams in 10 days.
