Answer to Question 1

ANS:
100 mL/hr
To calculate using the dimensional analysis method: (50 mL/30 min)  (60 min/1 hr) = 100 mL/hr.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
The nurse should keep all clients at the office for at least 30 minutes after the administration of benzathine penicillin G. Allergic manifestations consist of rash, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and anxiety, depicting anaphylaxis and serum sickness. Heart irregularity is not seen as an allergic manifestation.
