BSN 215 week 2 Test
Enter the letter for the matching Answer
| A. (D/H) x Q = X
D = desired dose (amount of meds ordered)
H = dosage supply on hand
Q = refers to the quantity to be administered
X = refers to the dose to be administered B. xC. 1. The drug label factor is called V, the medication that the nurse must administer
2. The conversion factor lets nurses set up the equation with the conversions needed to calculate the dose
3 The drug order factor indicates the desired dose to be givenD. 1. Formula method
2. Ratio and proportion method
3. Dimensional analysis methodE. H= 250mg, V= 1 capsule, D= 500mg, X= number of capsules to administer
X(capsules) = 1 cap / 250mg x 1/1 x 500mg/1
X(capsules) = 0.004 x 1 x 500
X = 2
2 capsules administered to patientF. D= 0.5g, H= 250mg, V= 1 tab, C= 1000mg/1g
X(tabs) = 1cap/250mg x 1000mg/1g x 0.5g/1
X(tabs) = 0.004 x 1000 x 0.5
X = 2
2 tablets to be administered
G. H : V (known) = D : X (desired)
H = dosage or supply on hand
V = indicates the vehicle
D = reflects the desired dosage
X = denotes the amount to be givenH. Answer 20.
H= 250mg, V= 5mL, D= 1g, C= 1000mg/1g
X= 5mL/250mg x 1000mg/1g
X= 0.02 x 1000
X= 20
20mL to be given to patientI. D= 750mg, H= 10g, V= 100mL, C= 1g/1000mg
mL = 100mL/10g x 1g/1000mg x 750mg/1
mL = 10 x 0.001 x 750
mL = 7.5
7.5mL to be administered to the patientJ. H= 250mg, V= 5mL, D= 375mg, X= amount to administer
250 : 5 :: 375 : x (multiply means and extremes)
250x :: 1,875
x :: 7.5
7.5mL administered to patientK. H= 250mg, V= 1 capsule, D= 500mg, X= number to administer
250 : 1 :: 500 : x (now multiply means and extremes)
250x :: 500
x :: 2
2 capsules to be administeredL. X = V/H (drug label) x C(H)/C(D) (conversion factor) x D/1 (drug order)M. H= 4mg, V= 1mL, D= 2mg, X= amount to administer
4 : 1 :: 2 : x (multiply means and extremes)
4x :: 2
x :: 1/5
0.5 mL administered to patient |
