Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

The face as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA stands for Left Sacrum Anterior, which indicates the baby’s position in the womb.

Choice B rationale:

The shoulder as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA refers to the baby’s position, not the presenting part.

Choice C rationale:

The occiput as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA refers to the baby’s position, not the presenting part.

Choice D rationale:

The buttocks as the presenting part is indicated by LSA. LSA (Left Sacrum Anterior) means the baby’s sacrum (buttocks) is presenting, and it is oriented to the mother’s left side and is facing forward (anterior).

Correct Answer is ["20"]

Explanation

  1. Calculate the total units of insulin in the IV bag:

    • The bag contains 150 mL of solution.
    • The concentration is 0.456 units/mL.
    • Total insulin = 150 mL × 0.456 units/mL = 68.4 units.

  2. Determine how long the IV bag will last:

    • The ordered rate is 9 units/hour.
    • Total duration = 68.4 units ÷ 9 units/hour = 7.6 hours.

  3. Calculate the IV pump rate:

    • The total volume of the bag is 150 mL.
    • Pump rate = 150 mL ÷ 7.6 hours = 19.74 mL/hr.
    • Rounded to the nearest whole number: 20 mL/hr.

So the nurse should set the IV pump to 20 mL/hr.
