Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: The term that best describes administering a medication bolus directly into the vein through a heplock is IV push. The other terms do not describe this process of IV medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: mL/min = 4 mL/200 mg x 25 mg/1 min. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The client will receive 0.5 mL/min.
