Answer 1

Question 1:
Regular nsulin =14units
NPH insulin = 28units
Total insulin = 14 + 28 =42units
Question 2:
Prescription dose =25mg
Avilable dose =12.5 mg/5ml
Desired dose/ Dose in hand X V(volume of drug)=
25/12.5 X5 = 10ml to be given every 4 hours
Question 3:
Avilable lithium 150mg
Prescribed lithium 300mg
desired dose/dose in hand = 300mg/150mg = 2 capsules the nurse should be given every 8 hours.
Question 4:
Prescription dose = 150mg
Availble dose =50mg/5ml
Desired dose/ dose in hand X V(volume of drug)
150mg/50mgX 5ml = 15ml every 12 hours to be given
