Thank You all for the information...I truly appreciate all of the help.

Hello, I'am in nursing school and i stink at reconstituted math problems. Can someone please tell me if I'am on the right track with this prob. or direct me to a book that can further assist me in theses types of problems. The instructor gave us this problem with made up numbers and told us to work out. They are not the original numbers from exam. Keflon 500mg in 500ml, D5w over 2hrs. Available 0.5grams of powder vial reconstituted with 10ml sterile water in 50mg/ml Use a 15gtt/ml set. 1st: I converted 0.5grams to mg= 500mg 2nd: 500mg/10ml= 50mg/ml Drug calculation:H V D x 500:ml 500mg: x 1ml Flow Rate: 500mlx15gtt/ml= 120mins 62.5gtt/min All of the numbers are false. This is how I approached the problem, and took the exam today and approached it the same way. Please help or guide me in the right direction.

Sorry for posting here. Im new to the site and not sure of where i should be posting. Please inform me. Sorry

can someone help me understand rationale to this question. Ques:What of the following should be include in the teaching planfor the patient who is scheduled for an upper GI series? 1) The pt will be allowed nothing by mouth (NPO) after midnight. 2)General anesthetic is usually used for the procedure. 3)moderate abdominal pain is common after the procedure. 4)A cleansing enema will be given the evening before the procedure. The answer in the work book is 1. Im having difficulty understanding the rationale. I think all of them could be a teaching moment. so why is number one the answer. Please help I get really confused on these sorts of questions. Struggling nursing student
