B. Name and Date of Birth in add on the MRN can be used as the 3rd identifier: The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals require at least two identifiers (Name and Date of Birth). The Medical Record Number (MRN) can serve as a third identifier for additional accuracy.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. 1630 and 1930: Peak and trough levels are used to monitor drug effectiveness and prevent toxicity. Trough levels (lowest drug concentration) are drawn right before the next dose-1745 would be slightly too late. Peak levels (highest drug concentration) are drawn 30-60 minutes after administration (for IV drugs). Since the next dose is at 1800, the trough should be drawn just before the dose (1630) and the peak should be drawn 30-60 minutes after the dose (1930).

B. 1100 and 1700- Incorrect timing, not close to dose administration.

C. 1400 and 2200- Too far from the scheduled 1800 dose.

D. 1745 and 1830- Trough is too close to administration, peak is too early.

Correct Answer is ["7.9"]

Explanation

Formula: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs

3600 g = 3.6 kg
3.6 × 2.2 = 7.92 lbs
Rounded to the nearest tenth = 7.9
