Answer to Question 1

4.4 mL/dose

Global Rationale: mL/dose = 5 mL/105 mg x 27 mg/1 kg x 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 45 lbs/1 day x 1 day/6 doses. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The nurse will administer 4.38 or 4.4 mL per dose.

Answer to Question 2

225 mg/dose

Global Rationale: mg/dose = 15 mg/1 kg x 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 66 lbs/1 day x 1 day/2 doses. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The provider will prescribe 225 mg/dose.
