Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: If there is 1000 mg/mL then the nurse would provide an injection of 0.5 mL which is the lowest volume. The other volumes for reconstitution will require the nurse to administer larger volume of medication.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: The initials of the person who reconstituted the medication is a part of the label and this is missing. The name of the medication, the solution used to reconstitute the medication, and the name, date, and signature of the prescribing health care provider are not parts of the label.
