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?

To find the volume of fluid that will be left at 10:00 am, you need to calculate the following:

- The time elapsed in minutes from 8:45 am to 10:00 am using the formula: Time elapsed (min) = End time (min) - Start time (min)
- The volume of fluid infused in milliliters (mL) during the time elapsed using the formula: Volume infused (mL) = Flow rate (mL/min) x Time elapsed (min)
- The volume of fluid left in milliliters (mL) at 10:00 am using the formula: Volume left (mL) = Initial volume (mL) - Volume infused (mL)

First, use the formula for time elapsed to find how many minutes have passed from 8:45 am to 10:00 am:

Time elapsed (min) = End time (min) - Start time (min)

Since the end time is 10:00 am and the start time is 8:45 am, plug in these values into the formula:

Time elapsed (min) = 600 min - 525 min

Simplify and solve for the time elapsed:

Time elapsed (min) = 75 min

Next, use the formula for volume infused to find the amount of fluid infused in milliliters during the time elapsed:

Volume infused (mL) = Flow rate (mL/min) x Time elapsed (min)

Since the flow rate is 2 mL/min and the time elapsed is 75 min, plug in these values into the formula:

Volume infused (mL) = 2 mL/min x 75 min

Simplify and solve for the volume infused:

Volume infused (mL) = 150 mL

Then, use the formula for volume left to find the amount of fluid left in milliliters at 10:00 am:

Volume left (mL) = Initial volume (mL) - Volume infused (mL)

Since the initial volume is 1500 mL and the volume infused is 150 mL, plug in these values into the formula:

Volume left (mL) = 1500 mL - 150 mL

Simplify and solve for the volume left:

Volume left (mL) = 1350 mL

Therefore, the volume of fluid that will be left at 10:00 am is **1350 mL**.

To find the milliliters per dose, you need to use the formula for dosage calculation:

Volume (mL) = Dose ordered (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) x Volume available (mL)

Since the dose ordered is 0.5 grams, the concentration is 125 mg/5 mL, and the volume available is 5 mL, plug in these values into the formula:

Volume (mL) = 0.5 grams / 125 mg/5 mL x 5 mL

However, before you can simplify and solve for the volume, you need to convert the dose from grams to milligrams by multiplying by 1000:

Volume (mL) = 500 mg / 125 mg/5 mL x 5 m

Simplify and solve for the volume:

Volume (mL) = 20 mL

Therefore, the nurse should administer **20 mL** of Amoxil per dose to the patient.
