5 Integrated Practice and Calculation Safety Online Quiz Questions

In a practice calculation, an infusion rate works out to $18.75\,\text{gtt/min}$. True or false: the result should be set as $18.75\,\text{gtt/min}$, because gravity-flow drops can be administered as fractional drops.

A practice liquid label reads $120\,\text{mg per }5\,\text{mL}$. True or false: this means each $1\,\text{mL}$ contains $120\,\text{mg}$.

For a fictional practice order of $375\,\text{mg}$, the liquid label states $250\,\text{mg per }5\,\text{mL}$. How many millilitres correspond to one dose?

In a fictional practice problem, $120\,\text{mL}$ is to infuse over $2$ hours through tubing with a drop factor of $10\,\text{gtt/mL}$. What is the gravity flow rate in whole drops per minute?

A fictional order says only “give 2” and does not identify a medication unit, route, or dosage form. What is the safest next step before calculating an amount to administer?

Which actions belong in a safe medication-calculation checking process? Select all that apply.

In a fictional practice problem, an infusion of $1000\,\text{mL}$ is to run over $8$ hours. What is the pump rate in mL/hr?

Fictional practice order: $10\,\text{mg/kg/day}$, divided twice daily. The documented weight is $33\,\text{lb}$. Using $\text{kg}=\text{lb}\div2.2$, what is the calculated amount in mg per dose?

An order says only “give 2.” Which required order details are missing and must be clarified rather than guessed? Select all that apply.

A fictional order for a medication says “give 2,” but does not identify the unit, route, or dosage form. Explain what should happen before any dose calculation is attempted, and name key details or inputs that must be verified.

For a fictional practice infusion, the order is $4\,\text{mcg/kg/min}$, the weight is $70\,\text{kg}$, and the label states $400\,\text{mg in }250\,\text{mL}$. What pump rate in mL/hr matches the calculation?

In a multistep medication calculation, should you round intermediate values to device precision before using them in the next step?

A practice order says to divide the daily amount and administer it every 8 hours. How many administrations are scheduled in 24 hours?

For a fictional practice order of $750\,\text{mg}$ by mouth, the label states $250\,\text{mg}$ per tablet. How many tablets are needed for one dose?

A practice problem gives a weight of $44\,\text{lb}$, but the order requires kilograms. Using $2.2\,\text{lb} = 1\,\text{kg}$, which setup converts the weight correctly?

In a fictional practice problem, $1000\,\text{mL}$ is to infuse evenly over $8\,\text{hr}$. What pump rate is required in mL/hr?

A liquid label states $120\,\text{mg}$ per $5\,\text{mL}$. To convert an ordered amount of $72\,\text{mg}$ into a volume, which factor should multiply the dose so the result is in milliliters?

In a fictional practice problem, the order is $4\,\text{mcg/kg/min}$, the weight is $70\,\text{kg}$, and the infusion label states $400\,\text{mg}$ in $250\,\text{mL}$. Calculate the pump rate in mL/hr.
