Answer to Question 1

ANS: a
Administration of narrow-spectrum prophylactic antibiotics should occur within 60 minutes prior to the skin incision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 21
Feedback: 21 gtt/min
The formula for calculating drip rates is:
volume multiplied by drop factor = drip rate
time in minutes

500 mL = 10 gtt/cc = 21 gtt/min
4 hours = 60 min/hr
