Question

A nurse is preparing to administer quinine 25 mg/kg/day PO divided in equal doses every 8 hr to a school-age child who weighs 36 lb. Available is quinine 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

0

Rationale :

Formula:

Dose = (Weight in kg × Dose per kg) ÷ Number of doses/day

Given:

🔻Weight = 36 lb → 16.36 kg

🔻Dose = 25 mg/kg/day divided q8hr → 3 doses

🔻 Tablet = 325 mg

Calculation:

🔻Total dose/day = 16.36 × 25 = 409 mg

🔻 Dose per dose = 409 ÷ 3 = 136.33 mg

🔻 Tablets = 136.33 ÷ 325 = 0.42

→ 0 tablets

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

1.1

Rationale :

Formula:

Dose = Weight in kg × Dose per kg; Volume = Dose ÷ Concentration

Given:

✔️ Weight = 71 lb → 32.27 kg

✔️ Dose = 10 mcg/kg

✔️Concentration = 300 mcg/mL

Calculation:

Dose = 32.27 × 10 = 322.7 mcg

Volume = 322.7 ÷ 300

👉= 1.1 mL

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

1.9

Rationale :

Formula:

Dose = (Weight in kg × Daily dose/kg) ÷ Doses/day; Volume = Dose ÷ Concentration

Given:

✓ Weight = 50 lb → 22.73 kg

✓ Dose = 100 mg/kg/day ÷ 4 doses

✓ Concentration = 300 mg/mL

Calculation:

✓ Total daily dose = 22.73 × 100 = 2,273 mg

✓ Dose per dose = 2,273 ÷ 4 = 568.25 mg

✓ Volume = 568.25 ÷ 300

👉= 1.9 mL

Formula:

Dose = (Weight × Daily dose per kg) ÷ Number of doses

Given:

🔻Weight = 40 kg

🔻 Dose = 0.15 mg/kg/day ÷ 3 doses

Calculation:

🔻Total dose/day = 40 × 0.15 = 6 mg

🔻 Dose per dose = 6 ÷ 3

👉 = 2 mg

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

30

Rationale :

Formula:

Weight (kg) = Weight (lb) ÷ 2.2

Total daily dose = Dose × Weight (kg)

Dose per dose = Total daily dose ÷ 2

Volume = Ordered dose ÷ Concentration × mL

Given:

☑️ Weight = 66 lb → 30 kg

☑️ Dose = 0.2 mg/kg/day

☑️ Doses/day = 2

☑️ Concentration = 0.5 mg/5 mL

Calculation:

☑️ 0.2 × 30 = 6 mg/day

☑️ 6 ÷ 2 = 3 mg/dose

☑️ (3 ÷ 0.5) × 5

👉= 30 mL

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

13

Rationale :

Formula:

Volume = (Ordered dose ÷ Concentration) × mL

Given:

↪ Dose = 400 mg

↪ Concentration = 160 mg/5 mL

Calculation:

↪ (400 ÷ 160) × 5 = 12.5 mL → Rounded

👉= 13 mL

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

4.4

Rationale :

Formula:

Weight (kg) = Weight (lb) ÷ 2.2

Total daily dose = Dose × Weight

Dose per dose = Total ÷ Frequency

Volume = (Dose ÷ Concentration) × mL

Given:

⇨ Weight = 16 lb → 7.27 kg

⇨ Dose = 30 mg/kg/day

⇨ Doses/day = 2

⇨ Concentration = 125 mg/5 mL

Calculation:

⇨ 30 × 7.27 = 218.1 mg/day

⇨ 218.1 ÷ 2 = 109 mg/dose

⇨ (109 ÷ 125) × 5 = 4.36 mL → Rounded

= 4.4 mL
