Question 1 of 5
A nurse is calculating the dose of medication for a client. The prescribed dose is 2.5 mg/kg. The client weighs 70 kg. What dosage of medication should the nurse prepare?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 175 mg.
To calculate the dosage, multiply the prescribed dose (2.5 mg/kg) by the client's weight (70 kg). 2.5 mg/kg x 70 kg = 175 mg. This is the correct dosage based on the prescription.
Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the weight by the dose.
Choice C (250 mg) is incorrect as it only multiplies the weight by the dose without considering the prescribed dosage.
Choice D (35 mg) is incorrect as it is too low and does not reflect the correct calculation.
