Extract:
The nurse is caring for an infant with a diagnosis of VSD that weighs 3200g. The healthcare provider has prescribed digoxin 15mcg/kg/day given in divided doses every 8 hours. Digoxin is supplied .05mg/mL.
Question 1 of 5
Calculate how many mL of digoxin you will administer to your client per dose. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Correct Answer: 0.32 mL
Rationale: The correct answer is 0.32 mL.
To calculate this, you must first determine the ordered dose of digoxin in mg.
Then, convert this dose to mL using the available concentration of the medication. In this case, let's assume the concentration is 0.25 mg/mL.
Therefore, if the ordered dose is 0.08 mg, you would divide 0.08 mg by 0.25 mg/mL to get 0.32 mL. This calculation ensures accurate dosing. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow this conversion process or use incorrect values, leading to inaccurate administration of the medication.
