ATI PN Pharmacology 2020 Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer somatropin 0.24 mg/kg/week subcutaneously to be divided into six daily doses to a school-age child who weighs 66 lb. How many mg 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: 1.2

Rationale:
To calculate the dose per day, first convert the child's weight from lb to kg: 66 lb ÷ 2.2 = 30 kg.
Then, multiply the weight by the dose per kg per week: 30 kg × 0.24 mg = 7.2 mg per week. Since the dose is divided into 6 daily doses, divide 7.2 mg by 6 to get 1.2 mg per dose. This is the correct answer. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the proper conversion and calculation steps, leading to inaccurate dosing amounts.
