An infant is receiving 10 mL of 20% intralipids infusing at 0.5 mL/hour. How many hours will the IV infuse? (Enter numeric value only.)
The Correct Answer is ["20"]
An infant is receiving 10 mL of 20% intralipids infusing at 0.5 mL/hour.
To calculate the infusion time in hours, we need to divide the total volume of the infusion (10 mL) by the infusion rate (0.5 mL/hour).
The IV will infuse for 20 hours (10 mL / 0.5 mL/hour).

Explanation
The bottle is labeled "Ibuprofen for Oral Suspension, USP 100 mg per 5 mL." This means that for every 5 mL (or 1 teaspoon) of the suspension, there is 100 mg of ibuprofen.
To administer a dose of 200 mg, the parent should give the child 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of the suspension.
Correct Answer is ["239"]
Explanation
The child receives a prescription for asparaginase 4,780 IU IV.
The vial is labeled "Asparaginase 10,000 IU single-use vial" and for IV use, it should be reconstituted in 5 mL.
Since the child needs 4,780 IU of asparaginase and the vial contains 10,000 IU, the nurse should administer 2.39 mL of medication (4,780 IU / 10,000 IU * 5 mL).
