HESI DOSAGE CALCULATIONS EXAM ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+. A client scheduled for surgery is to receive an IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride with prochlorperazine edisylate (Compazine) 10 mg/50 ml over 30 minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value only.) - ANSWER- Calculate: 50 ml : 30 minutes :: X ml : 60 minutes 50/X :: 30/60 3000 = 15X X = 100 ml The healthcare provider prescribes an IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride with 40 mEq KCl/500 ml to infuse over 3 hours for a client with hypokalemia. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.) - ANSWER- To determine ml/hour: 500 ml : 3 hours :: as X ml : 1 hour 500/X :: 3/1 500 = 3X X = 166.66 (rounds to)= 167 ml/hour. The healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of 5% dextrose in 0.45% sodium chloride at 85 ml/hour. The IV administration set delivers 10 gtt/ml. The nurse should regulate the drop rate to deliver how many gtts/minute? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.) - ANSWERVolume/Time (minutes) x drop factor (gtt/ml) = 85 ml/ 60 minutes x 10 gtt/ml = 14.16 = 14 gtt/minute Fluid requirements for the first 24 hours after injury - ANSWER- 4 mL x body weight in kg x percentage of burn Infusion rate for an electronic infusion pump - ANSWER- amount of solution / (min to administer/60) = mL/hr Find Celsius from Fahrenheit - ANSWER- C = (F-32) * 5/9 Find Fahrenheit from Celsius - ANSWER- F = (C * 9/5) + 32 BSA - square root method (inches & lb) - ANSWER- SQUARE ROOT OF: (height in inches * weight in lb)/3131 BSA - square root method (cm & kg) - ANSWER- SQUARE ROOT OF: (heigh in cm * weight in kg)/3600
