Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 30 mL

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The nurse should insert the intravenous access line first and draw the blood for the blood cultures through the access line prior to the initiation of the IV antibiotic. Once the intravenous line is established, the antibiotic can be started. Acetaminophen is not a priority at this time and can be provided at any point in the process.
