Question

Child weighs 33lbs. Nurse is to admin 50 ml/kg of said drug over the next 4 hrs. How many mL?

Answer 1

Answer #1

1 pound =0.454kg.

33 pound =15 kg

Nurse is to administer 50 ml per kg of drug.

So total drug required to administer for 50 kg in a day=50x15=750ml.

In 4 hours the drug needs to administer=750/4=187.5=188ml.
