Question:
Weight-Based Pediatric Dosing Examples:
The doctor orders Acetaminophen 500 mg q6 hours for your pediatric patient.
Safe dose range is 10-16 mg/kg/dose. The patient weighs 25 kg. Calculate the
safe dose range.
Is this dose safe?
Answer:
25 kg x 10 mg/kg = 250
25 kg x 16 mg/kg = 400 mg
The safe dose range is between 250 mg and 400 mg dose. A dose of 500 mg is
too high for this pt's weight
,Question:
Ceftriaxone 1100-mg IV once daily for 7 days is ordered for a pediatric patient.
The recommended dose is 50 mg/kg/day. The child weighs 22 kg.
Is this dose safe?
Answer:
22 kg x 50 mg/kg = 1100 mg
this is a safe dose for the weight of the pt
Question:
What is the conversion factor for pounds to kilograms?
Answer:
2.2 lb = 1 kg
Question:
What are the conversion factors for tablespoon and teaspoon to ml?
Answer:
1 Tbsp = 15 ml
1 tsp = 5 ml
,Question:
What is the formula for converting degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Answer:
Multiply by 1.8 and add 32
Question:
What is the formula for converting degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Answer:
Subtract 32 and multiply .5556 (5/9)
Question:
Dopamine 5 mcg/kg per minute is ordered.
How many mg will the nurse administer to a patient weighing 100 Kg?
Answer:
100 kg x 5mcg / kg = 500 mcg
micro is 10-6 and milli is 10-3 (since we are converting from a smaller metric to
a larger one it needs to be moved 3 places to the left)
500.0 mcg = 0.5 mg of dopamine
, Question:
If someone has a temperature of 101.4 °F, what is their temperature in Celsius?
Answer:
(101.4 degrees F - 32) x .5556
Question:
You have 50 mg of a medication in 50 ml of D5W that needs to run over 30
minutes. The tubing has a drop factor of 15. How many drops per minute does
the IV need to be set at?
Answer:
Step 1.
drops per minute = 50 mL x 15 gtts/ml = 750 gtts
Step 2.
750 gtts/30 minutes = 25 gtts/min
Question:
IV Flow Rate Formula in gtt/min
Answer:
total infusion volume x drop factor/ total time of infusion in minutes
