Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer vancomycin 15 mg/kg/day divided equally every 12 hr. The client weighs 198 lb. How many mg should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client's weight (198 lb) converts to 90 kg (198 / 2.2). The dose is 15 mg/kg/day, or 1350 mg/day (15 * 90). Divided every 12 hours, each dose is 675 mg (1350 / 2).
