Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This intervention is correct because it provides the infant with a source of glucose and helps prevent hypoglycemia.
B. A glucose test alone may not provide timely intervention if hypoglycemia is detected.
C. Administering intravenous dextrose infusion is a rapid and effective way to address hypoglycemia, but early breastfeeding should be the priority action.
D. While frequent feeding is beneficial, intravenous dextrose may be necessary for a more immediate impact.

Correct Answer is ["50"]

Explanation

To calculate the infusion rate for antibiotic X, the nurse needs to use the formula: gtt/min = (Volume x Drop factor) / Time

Plugging in the values from the question, we get:

gtt/min = (50 mL x 20 gtt/mL) / 20 min Simplifying, we get:

gtt/min = 1000 gtt / 20 min Dividing, we get:

gtt/min = 50 gtt/min

Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 50 gtt/min.
