Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse will administer 87 mg per dose. The child's weight is first converted to kilograms by dividing 32 by 2.2, or 32/2.2 = 14.5 kg. Next, calculate the dose by multiplying weight times mg/kg/d or 14.5  6 = 87 mg.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Aminoglycosides should be avoided if the patient takes a potent diuretic because of the increased risk of ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. Learning the patient takes a potent diuretic would indicate the need to consult with the health care provider before administering gentamicin. Prostate surgery, hypothyroidism, and an allergy to peanuts would not preclude administration of these medications and would not indicate a need to consult with the provider.
