    1.

    The doctor orders a 500 mL bag of IV Normal Saline with Abraxene 2 ampules to

    infused at 20 gtt/min. The drip factor is 10 gtt/min. You start the IV infusion at 05:00

    am. At what time will the infusion be complete?

    2. A health care provider prescribes Potassium Chloride (Klotrix) 0.35 mEq/ lb po

    dissolved in 6 oz of oj at 8 am; Available: Klotrix 8 mEq/mL. How many mL of

    Klotrix will you add to the oj for a 20.5 Kg patient? 

    Answer :

    20.5 Kg × 2.2 Ibs=45.1 Ibs

    45.1 Ibs×0.35 mEq/Ib=15.8 mEq/Ib

    15.8 mEq/Ib × 1ml =2 ml

    8 mEq/Ib

    3. The physician writes a “now” order for Codeine 45 mg IM for a patient with a

    vertebral compression fracture. You have on hand Codeine 60 mg/2 mL. How many

    milliliters should you give?

    Answer :

    Stock required =45 mg codeine

    Stock strength =60 mg per 2ml

    Volume =2ml

    Stock required : stock strength×volume

    =45: 60 × 2=1.5 ml

    Answer is 1.5 ml
