Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should calculate the child's weight in kilograms and compare with the recommended dose. The dose in the cart may or may not be correct, so the nurse must always check to see if it is appropriate. The nurse would not give the recommended dose unless it was ordered. The nurse would contact the physician and confirm the order, not just blindly give whatever the physician orders.
