Question 1 of 5

A physician prescribes clindamycin 10 mg/kg/day IV in two divided doses for respiratory tract infection. The medication is supplied 150 mg/mL. The patient weighs 88 lbs. How much will the nurse administer per dose? (round to the nearest tenth)

Correct Answer: 1.3 mL

Rationale:
To calculate the dosage of clindamycin, first convert the patient's weight from pounds to kilograms (88 lbs / 2.2 = 40 kg). The prescribed dose is 10 mg/kg/day, so the patient requires 400 mg/day (10 mg/kg * 40 kg). Since the medication is administered in two divided doses, each dose is 200 mg. The medication is supplied at 150 mg/mL, so 200 mg / 150 mg/mL = 1.33 mL, rounded to 1.3 mL per dose.
