Answer 1

5. Nurse preparing the dose of 1 mg of vitamin K.

Available medication is in 1 mg/0.5mL.

It means, 0.5 mL contains 1 mg vitamin K.

So, to administer 1 mg to a newborn, the volume to be administer will be 0.5 mL

Because, 0.5 mL of the available medication contains 1 mg

Hence, 0.5 mL should be administered by the nurse.

6. Nurse is preparing to titrate morphine 5 mg via IV bolus.

Available morphine is 8 mg/mL.

It means the available formulation contains 8 mg morphine in 1 mL

So for 5 mg of morphine, the volume is to be taken can be calculated as:

8/1 = 5/X

X = 5/8

X = 0.625 mL

So, 0.625 mL of the available morphine should be administer to deliver the required dose

7. Nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin 500 mg via IV bolus for 30 min.

Available is ampicillin is 500 mg in 50 mL of dextrose 5% water.

It means the available formulation contains 500 mg in 50 mL solution.

500 mg is required for 30 min administration, so for 60 min, the dose will be

500 x 60/30

= 1000 mg.

1000 mg is required to administer in one hour.

Now, 500 mg of ampicillin is in 50 mL of dextrose solution, so for 1000 mg of ampicillin, total volume to be administered will be:

= 50 x 1000/500

= 50 x 2

= 100

So, 100 mL/hr of the solution should be pumped to deliver the required dose.
