Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale 1: mg/dose = 12 mg/m2 x 1.06 m2. The child will receive 12.72 mg/dose.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1: gtt/min = 10 gtts/1 mL x 50 mL/10 mg x 7.5 mg/1 kg x 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 77 lbs/day x 1 day/24 hrs x 1 hr/60 min. Multiply the numerators and the divide by the denominators. The nurse will set the infusion pump for 9 gtts/min.
