Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The safest way to infuse IV solution to an infant is using the microdrip infusion set on an infusion pump to control flow rate and prevent fluid overload. Macrodrip tubing would not be used to administer IV fluids to an infant.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The apothecaries' system uses grains, minims, and drams. The metric system uses liters, meters, and grams. The household system uses pounds, quarts, and feet or miles. All of these systems are used, in various degrees, in North America.
