Question 1 of 5
The dosage of a pediatric medication is 120mg/kg/day to be given t.i.d. The patient weighs 12 pounds. What is the correct dose for the nurse to administer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The patient weighs twelve pounds, which converts to kilograms by dividing 12 by 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lb.). In this example, the child's weight converts to 5.4 kg. The daily dose of 120 mg is given t.i.d: each individual dose is 40 mg/kg.
Then multiply the weight in kilograms by the individual dose (40mg). The individual dose is 218 mg.
