20 gtts/min
If the IVF was initiated at 7 am, and the dopamine drip at 8 am; what is the total IVF intake of the patient from 6-2 shift?
540
540 cc
540 ml
COVID-19 patients also receive antiviral medications. Patient X is receiving this drug and the order reads: “Remdesivir 200mg IV as loading dose, then 100 mg IV for 9 days”. If you are using 10 ml as diluent, how many ml should be given as initial dose?
Stock dose: 100mg/vial
20 ml
The doctor’s order is Dexamethasone 6 mg IV OD x 10 days. How many ml are you going to give?
1.5 ml

A. Leprosy B. Dengue C. Malaria D. Stroke E. Diabetes
C. Malaria
Current data shows that the drug below does not reduce deaths among hospitalized COVID-19 patients nor help people with moderate disease. But this was used to patient X despite the controversy. The order reads: “100 mg PO x 14 days”. What is the route of the said drug?
by mouth

D. Intramuscular
The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved China’s Sinovac CoVid Vaccine for emergency use. The DOH Philippines also procured vaccines under EUA. What does EUA stand for?
Emergency Use Authorization
The recommendation for Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine is:
A. 2 doses, 0.5 ml, given subcutaneously, 2-4 weeks interval
B. 2 doses, 1 ml, given intramuscularly, interval of 2-4 weeks between the 1st and 2nd dose
C. 2 doses, 0.5 ml, given intramuscularly, interval of 2-4 weeks between the 1st and 2nd dose
D. 1 dose only, o.5 ml, given IM, 2-4 weeks interval
C. 2 doses, 0.5 ml, given intramuscularly, interval of 2-4 weeks between the 1st and 2nd dose
Clinical trials show COVID vaccine protection is optimal from about two weeks after your second dose. Sinovac Vaccine is derived from inactivated coronavirus and once it is injected, it may produce what type of immunity?
A. Natural Active Immunity
B. Artificial Active Immunity
C. Natural Passive Immunity
D. Artificial Passive Immunity
B. Artificial Active Immunity
TRUE or FALSE: Because the coronaviruses in CoronaVac are dead, they can be injected into the arm without causing Covid-19.
True
