Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 18 pounds, 4.16 ounces, or 18.26 pounds or 18.3

In order to calculate the child's weight in pounds, the nurse must know that there are 2.2 kg in 1 pound. 8.3 X 2.2 = 18.26 lb. 0.26 lb can be converted to ounces by multiplying 0.26 by 16 = 4.16 ounces.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 600

There are 60 mg in 1 grain. To administer 10 grains, the nurse calculates 60 mg X 10 grains = 600 mg.
Global Rationale: There are 60 mg in 1 grain. To administer 10 grains, the nurse calculates 60 mg X 10 grains = 600 mg.
