Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen 10 mg/kg PO to a child. The child weighs 55 lb. Available is ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL solution. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 12.5 mL
Rationale:
To calculate the dose of ibuprofen for the child weighing 55 lb, we first need to convert the weight to kg (55 lb ÷ 2.2 = 25 kg).
Then, we multiply the weight by the dose (10 mg/kg) to get the total dose needed (25 kg x 10 mg/kg = 250 mg). Next, we need to calculate how many mL of the solution provides 250 mg of ibuprofen (250 mg ÷ 100 mg/5 mL = 12.5 mL).
Therefore, the correct answer is 12.5 mL.
Choice A: Incorrect, as it does not follow the correct calculation method.
Choice B, C, D, E, F, G: Since the correct calculation leads to 12.5 mL, all other choices are incorrect.
