Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a dexamethasone 1.5 mg/kg/day PO to divide equally every 6 hr to a preschool-age child who weighs 22 lb. Available is dexamethasone oral solution 1 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 3.8 mL
Rationale: Convert 22 lb to 10 kg.
Total daily dose = 1.5 mg/kg/day * 10 kg = 15 mg/day. Dose per administration = 15 mg / 4 doses = 3.75 mg. Volume = 3.75 mg / 1 mg/mL = 3.75 mL, rounded to 3.8 mL.
