I have a question...

The nurse cares for a client receiving 50 drops of IV fluid per minute. The IV set has a drip factor 60 drops/mL. At this rate, record how many hours it will take the nurse to infuse 400ml?

What is your answer?

[SpelaD]

8 hours.

If there is 60 drops/ml; how many drops are in 400 ml? The answer is 24000. If the rate is 50 drops/min, how long will it take to infuse all 24000 drops? 480 min. And 480 min is 8 hours.

Don't you hate destructor's?

Can you just do 400 : 50 = 8 ?

[SpelaD]

Am I right?

Yes 8 is correct answer!!!

I have a question...

The nurse cares for a client receiving 50 drops of IV fluid per minute. The IV set has a drip factor 60 drops/mL. At this rate, record how many hours it will take the nurse to infuse 400ml?

What is your answer?

Convert gtt/min to ml/min.

60 gtt : 1 ml = 50 gtt : x ml

x= 0.8 ml/min

Convert ml/min to ml/hr.

60 min x 0.8 ml/min = 48 ml/hr

Calculate the infusion time by dividing the total volume to be infused by the ml/hr rate you have just obtained.

400 ml : 48 ml/hr = 8.33 hr

Multiply 60 min by the .33 hr fraction to obtain the min of infusion.

60 x . 33 = 19.8 = 20 min

The total infusion time is 8 hr 20 min

I think that the answer( plz double check the numbers, i was doing without calculator)

Here is one of the brain teasers...

The nurse is in the outpatient clinic prepares client for pap smear. The client takes Atenolol (Tenormin) 50 mg daily. It is most important for the nurse to follow up on whiche following client statements?

1. I haven't have pelvic exams in past 4 years

2. Black cohosh is helping with my hot flashes

3. I swim three times per week

4. I like working in my garden every day

[itk1]

Correct answer is 2 ... Herbals like Black cohosh can cause hypotention if used with antihypertensives.

Gardening/sun exposure are your destructor's!
