Answer to Question 1

145-241.66 mg
The safe dose range for this drug is 435-725 mg in 24 hours (30-50 mg/kg). When given in 3 doses a day (every 8 hours), the safe dose range for a single dose is 145-241.66 mg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Abdominal pain accompanied by uveitis (inflammation of the eye) and arthralgias (joint pain) is associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The best diagnostic tests for these disorders are endoscopy and colonoscopy. The nurse should educate the patient and parents on this exam. A flat plate (plain x-ray) may be ordered but will not yield as specific information as the colonoscopy. A biopsy and nuclear medicine scan are not indicated.
