Parenteral Drug Homework Name___________________ ONLY DO #4 THROUGH #10 #1 Example Problem Ordered: furosemide injection 2.5 mg IM Administer: _ 0.25 ____ mL First - Look at label and determine ‘unit’ dose or ‘dose on hand’ = = X = = 0.25 Can unit dose ratio/proportion be reduced to a simpler fraction? Yes Yes (or already done on label) No Are you giving more or less than the unit dose? ‘Guesti-mation’ Circle one Giving < unit dose Giving > unit dose What is the smallest size syringe that could measure the dose? 1 mL (subQ) 3mL (IM) 5mL 10-12 mL Set up ratio/proportion equation and solve for unknown or “X” Now, re-evaluate - ‘Guesti-mation’ Giving < unit dose (mL)? Giving > unit dose

Circle one Same Less More Is this a reasonable amount to give considering route? subQ < I mL Yes or No IM < 2.5 mL IV – no limit Make sure final answer has zero before values less than 1 and remove trailing zeros It is #2 Example Ordered: prochlorperazine 15 mg IV Administer: ____3 ____ mL First - Look at label and determine ‘unit’ dose or ‘dose on hand’ = = X = = 3 Can unit dose ratio/proportion be reduced to a simpler fraction? Yes Yes (or already done on label) No Are you giving more or less than the unit dose?

= X = = 2 Can unit dose ratio/proportion be reduced to a simpler fraction? Yes Yes (or already done on label) No Are you giving more or less than the unit dose? ‘Guesti-mation’ Circle one Giving < unit dose Giving > unit dose What is the smallest size syringe that could measure the dose? 1 mL (subQ) 3mL (IM) 5mL 10-12 mL Set up ratio/proportion equation and solve for unknown or “X” Now, re-evaluate - ‘Guesti-mation’ Giving < unit dose (mL)? Giving > unit dose Circle one Same Less More Is this a reasonable amount to give considering route? subQ < I mL Yes or No IM < 2.5 mL IV – no limit Make sure final answer has

zero before values less than 1 and remove trailing zeros #4 Ordered: Amiodarone injection 300 mg IV Administer: 6 mL First - Look at label and determine ‘unit’ dose or ‘dose on hand’ 6 mL Can unit dose ratio/proportion be reduced to a simpler fraction? Yes Yes (or already done on label) No Are you giving more or less than the unit dose? ‘Guesti-mation’ Circle one Giving < unit dose Giving > unit dose What is the smallest size syringe that could measure the dose? 1 mL (subQ) 3mL (IM) 5mL 10-12 mL Set up ratio/proportion equation and solve for unknown or “X”
