Child weighing 20 kg
Question 1 of 5
The order is Solumedrol 3 mg/kg for a child weighing 20 kg. Solumedrol is available as 125 mg/2mL. How many ml(s) must the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.96 mL. Firstly, calculate the total dose needed: 20 kg x 3 mg/kg = 60 mg of Solumedrol.
Then, determine the concentration: 125 mg/2 mL = 62.5 mg/mL. Finally, divide the total dose by the concentration to find the volume needed: 60 mg / 62.5 mg/mL = 0.96 mL. This calculation ensures the correct dosage is administered based on the child's weight and the concentration of the medication. Other choices are incorrect due to incorrect calculations or misinterpretation of the question.
