Question 1 of 5
An 18-month-old patient with Down's Syndrome has a history of mild pulmonary hypertension which requires a daily dose of Furosemide (Lasix). The mother is questioning if the new dose is correct after an adjustment at the child's last Cardiology visit. The child weighs 22 pounds and the dosing for furosemide (Lasix) for this child 2mg/kg/dose. What is the appropriate dose of Furosemide Lasix for this child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct dose of Furosemide (Lasix) for this child is 20 mg/dose.
To calculate the appropriate dose, we first convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms (22 lbs รท 2.2 = 10 kg).
Then, we multiply the weight by the recommended dose of 2 mg/kg (10 kg x 2 mg/kg = 20 mg/dose). This calculation ensures proper dosing based on the child's weight.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct dosage calculation based on the child's weight.
