Which type of skills consistently ranks first among the qualities that employers look for in college graduates?

A 7% solution is diluted . What is the final concentration? 

Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) in mL/hr and convert into drops/minute. List each component of the TFN in your answer.  Your patient weighs 39 kg, is 6 % dehydrated, and vomited 300 mL fluid. You will be using a 20 gtt/mL administration set. Calculate the replacement fluids (HD) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): HD: [HD]mL/24 hours Determine the contemporary losses (CL) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): CL: [CL]mL/24 hours Calculate the maintenance requirement (MR) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): MR: [MR]mL/24 hours Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): TFN: [TFN]mL/24 hours Calculate the fluid rate in the nearest whole drop/minute: approx. [gtt]gtt/ [min]minute

An 8-year-old 4 kg Maltese is in v-tach (ventricular tachycardia). The doctor orders a 0.04 mg/kg/min lidocaine CRI at a rate of 10 mL/hr. Lidocaine is a 2% solution. The CRI will be made up of a 100 mL bag of 0.9 % NaCl. How many mL of Lidocaine will you add to the bag?

A 10 kg beagle needs a drug in a CRI at 5 μg/kg/min at 5 mL/hr in a total volume of 50 mL. The concentration of the drug is 50 mg/2 mL.  How many mL of the drug do you add to the bag?

Generally 1 fluid ounce is equal to approximately how many milliliters of liquid?

What was the original strength of the solution if it is diluted and the final concentration is 12%?

A solution was diluted and the final concentration was 20%. What was the original concentration?

Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) in mL/hr and convert into drops/second. List each component of the TFN in your answer.  Your patient weighs 42 kg, is 5 % dehydrated, and vomited 250 mL fluid. You will be using a 20 gtt/mL administration set. Calculate the replacement fluids (HD) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): HD: [HD]mL/24 hours Determine the contemporary losses (CL) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): CL: [CL]mL/24 hours Calculate the maintenance requirement (MR) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): MR: [MR]mL/24 hours Calculate the total fluid needs (TFN) – enter the number only (the units have been provided for you): TFN: [TFN]mL/24 hours Calculate the fluid rate in the nearest whole drop/second: approx.
