Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer gentamicin 2 mg/kg IV to a client who weighs 220 lb. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 200
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: 200
Rationale:
1. Convert client's weight from lb to kg: 220 lb / 2.2 = 100 kg
2. Calculate gentamicin dose: 2 mg/kg x 100 kg = 200 mg
3. Round to nearest whole number: 200 mg
Therefore, the nurse should administer 200 mg of gentamicin to the client.
Summary:
-
Choice A: Incorrect, as it does not match the calculated dosage of 200 mg.
-
Choices B-G: Irrelevant, as the correct calculation yields 200 mg as the appropriate dose.
