Answer to Question 1

ANS: C

Feedback
A Incorrect: 320 mL is one-third the desired amount.
B Incorrect: 480 mL provides for half of the desired amount.
C Correct: One pint = 16 ounces = 480 mL. Multiply 480 mL by 2 = 960 mL.
D Incorrect: This provides 120 mL more than the desired amount.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B

Feedback
A Incorrect: Yes the dose is safe, but the client can only receive a maximum of 13 mg/dose.
B Correct: Divide 145 pounds by 2.2 = 65.9 kg; multiply 65.9 by 0.1 to calculate the minimum dose and 65.9 by 0.2 for the maximum dose = a range of 6.6 mg to 13 mg/dose; so a dose of 10 mg is safe.
C Incorrect: The dose is safe and the client can receive up to 13 mg/dose.
D Incorrect: The dose is safe and the client can receive up to 13 mg/dose.
