ATI PN Pharmacology 2020 Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer amikacin 5 mg/kg IM to a client who weighs 110 lb. Available is amikacin injection 250 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale: The correct answer is 1 mL.
To calculate the dose, first convert the client's weight to kg: 110 lb / 2.2 = 50 kg.
Then, multiply the weight by the dose (5 mg/kg): 50 kg x 5 mg/kg = 250 mg. Next, determine how many mL of the 250 mg/mL solution is needed: 250 mg / 250 mg/mL = 1 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 1 mL of amikacin.

Other choices are incorrect because:
-
Choice A: Incorrect, as it does not align with the correct calculation.
-

Choices B-G: Irrelevant as they do not follow the correct conversion and calculation process.
