Question 1 of 5
How many mg should the nurse administer per dose to a child weighing 44 lbs if the prescribed dose is 15 mg/kg every 12 hours?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To calculate the correct dose, we first convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms (44 lbs รท 2.2 = 20 kg).
Then, we multiply the weight by the prescribed dose (20 kg x 15 mg/kg = 300 mg).
Therefore, the nurse should administer 300 mg per dose.
Choice A is too low, choices B and D are higher than the correct answer, and choice E is significantly higher, exceeding the calculated dose.
