ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji

Step 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? mg
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji

, Step 2: Set up an equation and solve for X.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji

X = Dose per kg × Client's weight in kg
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji

X mg = 4 mg/kg × 60 kg
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
