weighs 40 lb. Available is epoetin alfa 2,000 units/ml. How many ml should the nurse
administer?
(Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading 0 if it applies. Don't use a trailing zero.)
2.2 lb/kg = 40 lb -> 18.181818 kg
50 units/kg x 18.181818 kg = 909.090909 units
2,000 units/ml = 909.090909 units -> 0.454545ml
ANS: 0.45 ml
A nurse is preparing to administer phenytoin 5 mg/kg/day PO divided equally every 12 hr for an
infant who weighs 12 lb 4 oz. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose?
(Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading 0 if it applies. Don't use a trailing zero.)
16 oz/lb x 4 oz = 0.25lb
12 lb + 0.25 lb = 12.25 lb
2.2 lb/kg x 12.25 lb = 5.568181 kg
5 mg/kg x 5.568181 kg = 27.840909 mg
27.840909 mg / 2(Q12H) = 13.920454 mg
ANS: 13.9 mg
