BASIC MATH ABILITY EXAM A
RELIAS
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): 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).: - 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 admin- ister units of insulin. (round to the nearest
whole number): 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): 0.05*111.5 (the weight in kg)
= 5.575mg a day
=5.6
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.: 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 number): https://www.mdcalc.com/iv-drip-rate-calculator
=42
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
admin- ister: [FORMULA: (BG-100)÷30+10]= number of units to administer.
