Answer:

IV Drip rate = 20.00 gtts/min (drops per minute).

explanation

if the IV Drip rate = (1500 ml * 16 gtts/ml) / (12 hours * 60) = 33 gtts per minute. Considering that intravenous fluid,be it a certain substance of just glucose, needs to be given at a specific rate, this has been decided to be measured in ml/hour or drops per min.

Morphine sulfate grain 1/4 po is ordered. On hand is Morphine sultate 10 mg tablets. How many tablets will you give?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

1 tablet and a half.

Explanation:

1 mg is equivalent to 1/60gr

              or

1 gr is equivalent to 60 mg.

Since you need to give 1/4 gr of morphine sulfate, you need to give 1/4 of 60mg. If you will calculate that, you will need to give 15 mg of morphine sulfate. Since the tablets come in 10 mg, you will need to give 1 tablet and a half.

You can also compute it this way:

\dfrac{1}{4}gr\times \dfrac{60mg}{1gr} = \dfrac{60mg}{4}=15mg

15mg\times \dfrac{1 tablet}{10mg} = 1.5 tablets

Talja [164]
B. Leaving without telling the boss is irresponsible and could cause her some issues. She cannot wear a hat that is too big because in a dangerous environment something that is not fit for you causes more danger. Leaving during lunch is bad because she’s supposed to wear it at all times. Not working on dangerous machinery also doesn’t work for if she’s required to wear it at all time it’s not just the machines that cause danger.
