Answer to Question 1

200

Global Rationale: Because the frequency of the medication has changed, begin by determining the original total daily dose by multiplying 400 mg x 3 = 1200 mg. Then determine the changed dose by multiplying 600 mg x 4 = 2400 mg. Then use the equation Fraction of Change = Change/Original, or Fraction of Change = 2400/1200 = 2.00 or 200. The client's dose was changed by 200.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale 1: One half of 4 ounces of juice is 2 ounces. Calculate  of 6 ounces of coffee by multiplying  x 6/1= 18/4 = 4.5 ounces. One half of 8 ounces of broth is 4 ounces. Calculate  of 12 ounces of water by multiplying  x 12/1 = 36/4 = 9 ounces. The patient consumed the most of water.
