Answer to Question 1

ANS:
0.75
Use the medication calculation formula to calculate the correct dose:
Desired/available  volume = milliliters per dose
(0.3 mg/0.4 mg)  1 mL = 0.75 mL/dose

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because children of this age are able to see things only in terms of themselves, the best approach is to focus communication directly on them. Children should be provided with information about what they can do and how they will feel. With children who are egocentric, analogies, experiences, and assurances that communication is private will not be effective because the child is not capable of understanding.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
