Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer acetaminophen 10 mg/kg/dose to a child who weighs 28 lb. The amount available is acetaminophen 120 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: 5.3
Rationale: The correct answer is 5.3 mL.
To calculate this, first convert the child's weight to kg (28 lb / 2.2 = 12.73 kg).
Then, multiply the weight by the dose (10 mg/kg) to get 127.3 mg. Next, calculate how many mL of the available acetaminophen solution contain 127.3 mg (127.3 mg / 120 mg/5 mL = 5.3 mL).
Therefore, the nurse should administer 5.3 mL.
Choice A: Incorrect, as it does not follow the correct calculation process.
Choice B-G: Irrelevant as they do not provide the correct calculation for determining the required mL for acetaminophen administration.
