Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has pneumonia and a prescription for cefpodoxime 5 mg/kg PO every 12 hours for 5 days. The client weighs 18 kg. How many mg 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: 90
Rationale: The correct answer is 90 mg per dose.
To calculate this, you would multiply the weight of the client (18 kg) by the prescribed dosage (5 mg/kg) to get 90 mg. This calculation ensures the correct dose is administered based on the client's weight and the prescribed dosage. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the correct dose based on the given information. Option A, for example, may be too low if it doesn't take into account the weight of the client. Option B might be too high if it doesn't consider the correct dosage per kg. Option C through G are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the weight and prescribed dosage.
