A nurse is caring for a client who begins showing signs of alcohol withdrawal delirium.
Which of the following medications should the nurse administer?.

A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1 L IV to infuse over 8 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing set is 15 gtts/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A nurse is preparing to administer olanzapine 7.5 mg PO to a client who has schizophrenia. Available is olanzapine 2.5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse plan to administer?
(Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies.)

A nurse is preparing to administer lorazepam 1 mg PO to an older adult client who has insomnia and who cannot swallow oral tablets.

Available is lorazepam oral solution 2 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse plan to administer?
(Round to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies.)

Step 1 is to calculate the amount of hydroxyzine HCL in each mL of the oral suspension. This is done by dividing the total amount of hydroxyzine HCL (25 mg) by the total volume (5 mL), which gives us 5 mg/mL. Step 2 is to calculate the volume of oral suspension that contains 50 mg of hydroxyzine HCL. This is done by dividing the prescribed dose (50 mg) by the concentration of the oral suspension (5 mg/mL). So, 50 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 10 mL.

So, the correct answer is 10 mL.
