True or False an acceptable diluent for reconstituting parenteral medications 6. True or False The registered nurse shou ld never administer a medication prepared by another nurse. 7. True or False Reconstitution is the process of combining the dry form of a mixture with a fluid to achieve a usable state. For problem 8 read and write the total syringe volume (tv) and precise measured syringe volume (mv) in ml's in the space provided. mve 8. tvs 8. For problems 9 and 10, indicate the total volume (tv) and draw an arrow on the syringe or shade to indicate the precise dose. Indicate 0.64 mL Indicate 1.4 mL 10

Answer 1

Ans)4) Weaker

Explaination:

- Dilution bis the technique that uses a solvent to increase the volume of a solution and thus decrease the concentration of that solution. The more the Dilution, the Weaker the Concentration of solution.

5) False

Explaination:

- Distilled water is used. If exceptionally high purity water is required, double distilled water is used. In general, non-purified water could cause or interfere with chemical reactions as well as leave mineral deposits after boiling away.

6) True

Explaination:

- There may be instances in which more than one healthcare provider may be required to administer a single medication, such as in a code, it is not generally acceptable practice to prepare any type of medication for another person to administer. Nor is it acceptable practice to administer a medication that another has prepared.

- The reasons for this strict rule are numerous. First and foremost, because preparation and administration are fraught with potential for error, relying on another nurse to prepare a medication that you administer is dangerous at best.

7) True

Explaination:

- Some drugs must be stored in powdered form because they rapidly lose their power once they are mixed into a solution. These drugs will then have to be reconstituted, or mixed with a liquid, called the diluent, before they can be administered.
