A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 0.25 mg PO to a client. The amount available is digoxin 0.125 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer to the client? (Round to the nearest whole number.)
______ tablets
Explanation
Desired dose = 0.25 mg.
Tablet strength = 0.125 mg.
Number of tablets = 0.25 ÷ 0.125.
Step-by-step: 0.125 × 2 = 0.250. Therefore 0.25 ÷ 0.125 = 2.
Round to nearest whole number → 2 tablets.
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.)
______ gtts/min
Explanation
1 L = 1000 mL.
Infusion time = 8 hours.
mL per hour = 1000 mL ÷ 8 hr = 125 mL/hr.
Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL.
gtts per minute = (mL/hr × gtts/mL) ÷ 60 min/hr.
Compute: 125 × 15 = 1875.
1875 ÷ 60 = 31.25 gtts/min.
Round to nearest whole number → 31 gtts/min.
