A nurse documenting a wound assessment in a computer notices that a client's wound measurement must be entered in inches instead of centimeters.
How many inches (in.) is equal to 2.54 centimeters?

A.

1.15 in.

B.

1 in.

C.

0.06 in.

D.

6.45 in.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

One inch is equal to **2.54 centimeters**²³⁴. To convert inches to centimeters, you can multiply the value in inches by 2.54. For example, 2.54 centimeters x 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.

Therefore, to convert 2.54 centimeters to inches, you can divide the value in centimeters by 2.54. For example, 2.54 centimeters / 2.54 = 1 inch.

The answer is **1 inch**.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

To find the dose of ondansetron, you need to use the formula for weight-based dosage calculation:

Dose (mg) = Weight (kg) x Prescribed dose (mg/kg)

Since the client's weight is 70 kg and the prescribed dose is 0.34 mg/kg, plug in these values into the formula:

Dose (mg) = 70 kg x 0.34 mg/kg

Simplify and solve for the dose:

Dose (mg) = 23.8 mg

Therefore, the client should receive **23.8 mg** of ondansetron prior to chemotherapy.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

To find the flow rate in mL/hr, you need to use the formula for infusion rate:


Infusion rate (mL/h) = Total volume (mL) / Time (h)


Since the total volume is 2.5 L and the time is 15 hours, plug in these values into the formula:


Infusion rate (mL/h) = 2.5 L / 15 h


However, before you can simplify and solve for the infusion rate, you need to convert the volume from liters to milliliters by multiplying by 1000:


Infusion rate (mL/h) = 2500 mL / 15 h

Simplify and solve for the infusion rate:


Infusion rate (mL/h) = 166.67 mL/h


Therefore, the flow rate for continuous infusion is **166.67 mL/h**.
