NCLEX_CRUSADE_ACADEMY TEST - 9 DOSAGE CALCULATION AND INTAKE AND OUTPUT

1. Rounding should occur: After each step. At the beginning. Only at the final step. Never.

2. When rounding, if the neighbor digit is 5, you: Drop it. Round down. Round up. Leave unchanged.

3. 4.56 rounded to the tenths place equals: 4.5. 4.6. 5.0. 4.4.

4. For IV drip 1000 mL over 12 hrs, drop factor 15 gtt/mL, rate equals: 15 gtt/min. 18 gtt/min. 20 gtt/min. 21 gtt/min.

5. Heparin infusion calculated 16.25 mL/hr should be rounded to: 16.3 mL/hr. 16.25 mL/hr. 16 mL/hr. 17 mL/hr.

6. Pediatric dose 8 mcg/kg/day, 7.2 kg, divided BID equals: 14.4 mcg. 28.8 mcg. 57.6 mcg. 8 mcg.

7. 55 lbs converts approximately to: 20 kg. 22 kg. 25 kg. 30 kg.

8. 10 mg/kg for 25 kg equals: 100 mg. 150 mg. 200 mg. 250 mg.

9. Diaper method rule: 1 gram equals: 0.5 mL. 1 mL. 5 mL. 10 mL.

10. If wet diaper weighs 50g and dry 30g, output equals: 10 mL. 15 mL. 20 mL. 30 mL.

11. Total intake 980 mL IV + 540 mL PO equals: 1,420 mL. 1,480 mL. 1,500 mL. 1,520 mL.

12. If infusing 240 mL/hr for 3.5 hours, volume administered equals: 720 mL. 820 mL. 840 mL. 900 mL.

13. If 1000 mL started and 840 mL administered, remaining equals: 100 mL. 140 mL. 160 mL. 200 mL.

14. In infant heart failure monitoring, safest method for output is: Foley catheter. Weigh diapers. Ignore output. Estimate visually.

15. Safety prioritization principle states: Accuracy over safety. Most invasive is best. Safety over accuracy. Speed over precision.
