Question 1 of 5
A 36 pound almost 3-year-old arrives to the ED with dehydration. The provider orders an IV fluid bolus, 15 ml/kg over 30 minutes. How many ml will the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 246 ml.
To calculate the IV fluid bolus amount, first, we need to determine the child's weight in kilograms: 36 lbs รท 2.2 = 16.36 kg. Next, multiply the weight in kg by the ordered dose of 15 ml/kg: 16.36 kg x 15 ml/kg = 245.4 ml. Since it is recommended to round up in pediatric dosing, the nurse will administer 246 ml.
Choice A is incorrect as it underestimates the dose.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they overestimate the dose.
