ADN 109 Dosage Calculations Exam Questions and Answers
1. The healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of 5% dextrose
in 0.45% sodium chloride at 85 ml/hour. The IV administration set
delivers 10 gtt/ml. The nurse should regulate the drop rate to deliver how
many gtts/minute? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required,
round to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: Volume/Time (minutes) x drop factor (gtt/ml) = 85 ml/ 60 minutes x 10
gtt/ml = 14.16 =
14 gtt/minute
2. A client receives a prescription for tobramycin sulfate (Nebcin) 0.128 grams
IV q8 hours. Tobramycin is available in liquid concentration of 40 mg/ml.
How many ml should the practical nurse administer? (Enter numeric value
only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
Answer : First using the known conversion:
1 gram = 1000 mg = 0.128 gram =
128 mg Next use the Desired/Have x
1 ml =
128 mg/40 mg x 1ml = 3.2 ml
3. A client returning from surgery has a prescription for an IV of 09% sodium
chloride to be infused at 250 ml over 3 hours. The nurse should program
the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value
only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: 250 ml :3 hours X 1
hour 250/X :3/1
250: 3X
X=83 ml/hour

chloride with prochlorperazine edisylate (Compazine) 10 mg/50 ml over 30
minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many
ml/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)
Answer: Calculate: 50 ml : 30 minutes :: X ml : 60 minutes 50/X :: 30/60 3000 =
15X X = 100 ml

, 5. The healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of dextrose 5% in
water with isoproterenol (Isuprel) 2 mg in 500 ml at a rate of 5 mcg/minute
for a client with cardiac arrhythmia. The nurse should program the infusion
pump to deliver how many ml/hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding
is required, round to the nearest hundredth.)
Answer: First using the known conversion 1 mg = 1000 micrograms.
Next, calculate the number of micrograms in solution: 1mg = 1000 mcg :: 2
mg = 2000 mcg
Then calculate how many ml of solution contain 5 mcg dose/minute:
2000 mcg : 500ml :: 5 mcg : X ml
2000/5 :: 500/X
