Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
1 L of fluid weighs 1 kg: therefore 17 lb = 7.7 kg. Thus 8 L is the closest answer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Asking the healthcare provider about changing the IV solution to 5 dextrose in water (D5W) is the correct action to take when administering IV calcium. Saline encourages calcium loss.
