| What indicates Regular insulin on the label? | R |
| What indicates NPH insulin on the label? | N |
| An indication of R on the label means the insulin is ________ acting insulin. | Short |
| An indication of N on the label means the insulin is ________ acting insulin. | Intermediate |

| Prior to administering insulin to a patient, what must happen/ | Two nurses must check the dosage |
| When do you need to make a reconstituted label? | When the med will last long enough to be used |
| What information needs to be included on the reconstituted label? | Date and Time of the reconstitution, what strength, when it expires (date and time), storage requirements, your initials. |
| Reconstitution of liquid concentrates are written as: | a fraction, percentage, or ratio. Numerator = concentrated quantity, denominator = total solution, Numerator - Denominator = Quantity of dilute |
| Describe a 1/4 strength of Hydrogen Peroxide? | 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide, 3 parts dilute to give a 1 to 4 ration of hydrogen peroxide to total solution |
| How do you determine which concentration to select if there are multiple choices. | Based on the quantity needed for a dose or a concentration to minimize the chance for making errors. |
| IV Component abbreviation: D | Dextrose |
| IV Component abbreviation: W | Water |
| IV Component abbreviation: S | Saline |
| IV Component abbreviation: NS | Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) |
| IV Component abbreviation: NaCl | Sodium Chloride |
| IV Component abbreviation: RL | Ringer's Lactate |
| IV Component abbreviation: LR | Lactated Ringer's |
| Hypotonic | < 250 mOsm/L |
| Isotonic | 250 - 375 mOsm/L |
| Hypertonic | > 375 mOsm/L |
| The rate of infusion for peripheral veins should not exceed: | 200mL per hour |
| PICC Line | Peripherally inserted central catheter |
| Phlebitis | When the vein becomes irritated, red, or painful at the site of the IV |
| Infiltration | When the IV catheter becomes dislodged from the vein and IV fluid escapes into the subcutaneous tissue. |
| Drop Factor | gtt/mL |
| Watch count | Counting how many drops per minute are flowing |
| Macrodrop IV tubing | 10, 15, or 20 gtt/mL |
| Microdrop IV tubing | 60 gtt/mL |
| Calculating rate in drops per minute | (Volume (mL) / Time (min)) * Drop factor (gtt/mL) = Rate (gtt/min) |
| Normal drops per minute range: | 20 - 100 gtt/min |
| Drop factor constant for 10 gtt/mL | 60/10 = 6 |
| Drop factor constant for 15 gtt/mL | 60/15 = 4 |
| Drop factor constant for 20 gtt/mL | 60/20 = 3 |
| Drop factor constant for 60 gtt/mL | 60/60 = 1 |
| Shortcut rule to calculate gtt/min | (mL/h)/drop factor constant = gtt/min |
| Recalculated mL/h for IV dosage | Remaining volume/remaining hours |
| % variation for IV administration that has altered from original setting | (Adjusted gtt/min - ordered gtt/min)/ordered gtt/min |
