Question 14 :
A client receives a prescription for hydrocortisone sodium succinate 150 mg intravenously STAT. The powdered medication needs to be reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water that will provide a solution of 250 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)
Correct Answer: ["0.6 mL"]
The client can safely take up to 8 tablets in one day. This is because 5 grams is equal to 5000 mg, and dividing that by 625 mg gives 8. The client should not exceed this amount to avoid adverse effects of the laxative.
