A nurse is planning to administer diphenhydramine 1.25 mg/kg IV to a school-age child who weighs 55 lb. Available is diphenhydramine 50 mg/mL.
Question 5 of 5
How many ml should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.6
Rationale: First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 55 ÷ 2.2 = 25 kg. Next, calculate the dose: 1.25 mg/kg × 25 kg = 31.25 mg.
Then, determine the volume: 31.25 mg ÷ 50 mg/mL = 0.625 mL. Round to the nearest tenth: 0.625 rounds to 0.6 mL.
