Explanation
To determine the number of capsules the nurse will administer, we need to consider the dosage prescribed and the available strength of the capsules.
The prescription states: cephalexin (Keflex) 0.5 g p.o. qid (four times a day).
Given that the available strength of cephalexin capsules is 250 mg, we need to convert the prescribed dosage from grams (g) to milligrams (mg) to match the capsule strength.
1 g = 1000 mg
0.5 g = 0.5 * 1000 mg = 500 mg
Now we know that the prescribed dosage is 500 mg, and each capsule contains 250 mg.
To calculate the number of capsules needed, we divide the prescribed dosage by the strength of each capsule:
Number of capsules = Prescribed dosage / Capsule strength
Number of capsules = 500 mg / 250 mg
Number of capsules = 2
Therefore, the nurse will administer 2 capsules of cephalexin (Keflex) for each dose.

1 oz (ounce)=_____mL
Explanation
1 fluid ounce (fl oz) is equal to approximately 29.57 milliliters (ml). The conversion factor between fluid ounces and milliliters is not an exact value due to the difference between the U.S. fluid ounce and the metric milliliter. However, for most practical purposes, 1 fluid ounce is commonly rounded to 30 milliliters (ml) for simplicity.

A baby weighs 10 pounds. How many kg does the baby weigh?
Explanation
To convert pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg), we need to use the conversion factor: 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms
Now, let's calculate the weight of the baby in kilograms:
Weight in kilograms = Weight in pounds * Conversion factor
Weight in kilograms = 10 lbs * 0.45359237 kg/lb
Weight in kilograms ≈ 4.5359237 kg
Therefore, the baby weighs approximately 4.54 kilograms.

Order, digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.25 mg IM daily. Available digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.5 mg/2 mL How many mL will the nurse administer?
Explanation
To calculate the amount of mL the nurse should administer, we can use a proportion based on the available concentration of digoxin (Lanoxin) and the prescribed dose.
The available concentration is 0.5 mg/2 mL, which means there are 0.5 mg of digoxin in 2 mL of solution.
The prescribed dose is 0.25 mg.
Now we can set up the proportion:
0.5 mg / 2 mL = 0.25 mg / x mL
Cross-multiplying, we have:
0.5 mg * x mL = 2 mL * 0.25 mg
0.5x = 0.5
Dividing both sides by 0.5, we get:
x = 0.5 / 0.5
x = 1
Therefore, the nurse should administer 1 mL of digoxin (Lanoxin) to deliver a dose of 0.25 mg.
The nurse is performing an admission assessment for a client admitted to the behavioral health unit. Which social/cultural category will the nurse document that may be contributing to the client's degree of mental illness? Select all that apply. (Select All that Apply.)
Lasix 50 mg IV. The available vial contains 80mg/2ml. What is the dose in ml?
Explanation
To calculate the dose of Lasix (furosemide) in milliliters (ml), we can set up a proportion using the available concentration and the prescribed dose.
The available concentration is 80 mg/2 ml, which means there are 80 mg of Lasix in 2 ml of solution.
The prescribed dose is 50 mg.
Setting up the proportion:
80 mg / 2 ml = 50 mg / x ml
Cross-multiplying:
80 mg * x ml = 2 ml * 50 mg
80x = 100
Dividing both sides by 80:
x = 100 / 80
x = 1.25
Therefore, the dose of Lasix 50 mg IV would be approximately 1.25 ml.
