Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 15 mg/kg/day divided equally every 12 hours. The client weighs 198 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 675
Rationale: The client's weight is converted to 90 kg (198 lb ÷ 2.2). The total daily dose is 15 mg/kg/day × 90 kg = 1350 mg/day, divided into two doses: 1350 mg ÷ 2 = 675 mg/dose.
