Homework Answers
ANSWER
1. Amount of drug (mg) the child should receive.
Child's drug dosage = 0.01mg / kg.
Child's body weight = 20 kg.
So the amount of drug child should receive = 0.01 * 20
= 0.1mg.
2. Ml of naloxone should be administered.
Formula
* Drug should be administered = Dose ordered (mg) * Quantity(ml) / Have(mg).
Dose ordered = 0.01 mg /kg ( 0.1 mg /20kg )
Quantity = 1 ml.
Have = 0.4 mg.
As per formula
= 0.1 * 1 / 0.4
= 0.1 / 0.4
= 0.25 ml (0.1 mg)
