Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing care to a 4-year-old child hospitalized with vomiting and suspected dehydration. The health care provider has prescribed ondansetron 0.5 mg/kg IV as a one-time dose. The safe dose is 5 mg/kg/dose. The child weighs 44 lbs. How many milligrams should the nurse administer? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if needed

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 mg.
To calculate the dose, first convert the child's weight from lbs to kg. 44 lbs is approximately 20 kg.
Then, multiply the weight by the safe dose of 0.5 mg/kg: 20 kg x 0.5 mg/kg = 10 mg. The correct dose should be 10 mg. Other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the safe dose calculation based on the child's weight.
