The Immunization Safety Review Committee Board of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention of the Institute of Medicine under the auspices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health have concluded that no evidence supports any linkage between the use of MMR vaccine and the development of autism. The chickenpox virus is not involved in the debate. Although it is the mother's choice to make, many parents make an uninformed decision out of fear, so it is important for the nurse to provide the necessary education because children who do not receive essential immunizations put the community at risk.

First, using the formula: 2.2 lb/1 kg = 66 lb/X kg, determine the child's weight in kg (66/2.2 = 30 kg). Next, determine the desired dose by using the formula: amount of prescribed drug times weight in kg (9 mg/kg times 30 kg = 270 mg). To determine the volume of medication to administer, use the formula: amount of drug available/volume available = amount of drug prescribed/volume to administer (90 mg/5 mL = 270 mg/X mL, 90mg/(X) = 1,350 mg/mL, X = 15 mL).
