Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:

Amount of fluid to infuse = 3,000 mL; rate of infusion = 150 mL. 3,000  150 mL = 20 hours to infuse. There are 24 hours in a day  20 hours = 4 hours. The infusion will complete in 4 hours before 08:00 (08:00  04:00 = 04:00 hour) so the infusion completes at 04:00.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Factors that may contribute to elevated digoxin levels include impaired renal function, low body mass, and dehydration. Assessment of pulse and cognitive function are always important when caring for a geriatric patient, but they will not contribute to elevated digoxin levels.
