Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. "The PCA will give additional pain medication whenever the button is pushed." PCA pumps have lockout intervals to prevent overdose, so pushing the button repeatedly will not always result in additional medication.
B. "Wait until the pain becomes severe before pushing the PCA button." PCA is most effective when used at the onset of pain rather than waiting until it becomes severe, which can make pain harder to control.
C. "The PCA will deliver medication through the IV until the pain is all gone." PCA provides controlled doses of medication but does not eliminate pain entirely. The goal is pain management, not complete pain relief.
D. "You or a designated family member are the only one who gets to push the PCA button—nobody else may do so." PCA is designed for patient-controlled use, and only the patient (or a designated, trained family member in special cases) should operate it to ensure proper dosing and safety.

Correct Answer is ["10"]

Explanation

Calculation:

Volume to administer = Dose ordered/ Dose available

Given:

  • Ordered dose = 10 mg
  • Available concentration = 10 mg/10 mL

Volume =10mg/(10mg/10mL)

= 10mL

Thus, the nurse will administer 10 mL per dose.
