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?
1.15 in.
1 in.
0.06 in.
6.45 in.
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**.

Explanation
One tablespoon is equal to **14.7867648 milliliters**¹²³⁴. To convert tablespoons to milliliters, you can multiply the value in tablespoons by 14.7867648. For example, 1 tablespoon x 14.7867648 milliliters = 14.7867648 milliliters.
Therefore, to convert 1 tablespoon of mouthwash to milliliters, you can multiply 1 by 14.7867648. The answer is **14.7867648 milliliters**. This is the amount of mouthwash that a patient uses in 1 tablespoon.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
The correct technique for preparing this insulin order is to follow these steps¹²:
- Perform hand hygiene and put on gloves.
- Mix NPH (cloudy) insulin by gently rotating the vial between the palms of your hands. Do not shake the vial.
- Clean the tops of both vials with alcohol swabs and let them dry.
- Draw up the amount of air equal to the dose of NPH insulin into a syringe. Inject the air into the NPH vial without touching the needle to the solution. Withdraw the needle and syringe without drawing up any insulin. This will create positive pressure in the NPH vial and make it easier to draw up later.
- Draw up the amount of air equal to the dose of regular (clear) insulin into the same syringe. Inject the air into the regular vial and invert the vial. Make sure the needle tip is below the fluid level and draw up slightly more than the dose of regular insulin. Tap the syringe gently to remove any air bubbles and push out any excess insulin to get the exact dose. Withdraw the needle and syringe from the regular vial.
- Reinsert the needle and syringe into the NPH vial without touching the needle to the solution. Invert the vial and draw up slightly more than the dose of NPH insulin. Tap the syringe gently to remove any air bubbles and push out any excess insulin to get the exact dose. Withdraw the needle and syringe from the NPH vial.
- Check that you have the correct doses of both insulins in one syringe. The total volume should be equal to the sum of both doses.
- Administer the dose within 5 to 10 minutes after drawing up because regular insulin binds to NPH and this decreases its action.
