EXAM 2025| 170 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
1. You have acetaminophen elixir, which is labeled 325 mg/5 mL, on hand.
The provider ordered 650 mg by mouth (PO). How many milliliters would
you administer?
20 ml
5 ml
15 mL
10 mL
2. Describe the method used to calculate the volume of ondansetron
hydrochloride needed for administration.
The method used is direct measurement of the medication in
milliliters.
The method used is converting the medication to a different form
before administration.
The method used is calculating the total dosage based on patient
weight.
The method used is ratio and proportion to determine the
volume based on the prescribed dosage and available
concentration.
3. What is the prescribed dosage of inamrinone in the solution provided for
the client with heart failure?
1 gram/100 ml
0.4 grams/100 ml
0.1 grams/100 ml
,0.2 grams/100 ml
,4. The APRN ordered Dextram 12% 1000 mL IV over 8 hours. Drop factor is
10 gtts/mL. How many gtts/minute? How many mL per hour?
1.25 gtts/min, 210 mL/hr
21 gtts/min, 125 mL/hr
2.1 gtts/min, 21 mL/hr
125 gtts/min, 21 mL/hr
5. Describe the steps involved in using the Parkland formula to determine
fluid requirements for a burn patient.
Subtract the percentage of burns from the patient's weight and
then multiply by 4 ml.
Multiply the patient's weight in kg by the percentage of burns
and then by 4 ml.
Add the patient's weight in kg to the percentage of burns and
then divide by 4.
Multiply the percentage of burns by 4 ml and then divide by the
patient's weight.
6. Describe the process used to calculate the infusion rate in ml/hour for
the milrinone IV infusion.
The infusion rate is calculated by dividing the total volume by the
time in hours.
The infusion rate is based solely on the medication's dosage
without any conversions.
The infusion rate is determined by the patient's weight and the
total volume of the IV bag.
The infusion rate is calculated by converting mcg/minute to
mcg/hour and then determining the corresponding ml/hour
based on the concentration of the medication.
, 7. If the prescribed dosage of metoclopramide were increased to 15 mg,
how many teaspoons would the nurse need to administer?
3

4
8. Describe the process used to determine how much water is needed to
dilute the Osmolite® formula to half strength.
The process involves multiplying the infusion rate by the time
without considering dilution.
The process uses only the strength of the formula without
calculating the total volume.
The process involves calculating the total volume needed and
then using the dilution formula to find the amount of water
required.
The process requires only the total volume without any dilution
calculations.
9. The nurses to administer oxytocin 0.5 milliunits/minu IV to a client
admitted for labor induction. Oxytocin is available at 10 units/1000 mL of
0.9% normal saline. How many milliliters per hour of the oxytocin should
be administered?
3 mL/hr
10 mL/hr
6 mL/hr
12 ml/hr
10. If a client requires 0.5 grams of docusate sodium (Colace), how many
capsules should the nurse administer, given that each capsule contains
