Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer sucralfate 80 mg/kg/day divided into four doses per day to a child who weighs 35 kg. The amount available is sucralfate oral suspension 1 g/10 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 7 mL
Rationale: Calculate: 80 mg/kg/day × 35 kg = 2800 mg/day; 2800 mg ÷ 4 doses = 700 mg/dose; 1 g = 1000 mg, so 700 mg = 0.7 g; 1 g/10 mL = 0.7 g/X mL, X = 7 mL. Answer: 7 mL.
