Correct Answer is ["5000000"]
Explanation
1g= 1,000,000 mcg
5g= 5 *1,000,000
=5,000,000 mcg
Correct Answer is ["0.4 "]
Explanation
Given:
- Desired dose of chlorpromazine: 0.55 mg/kg every 6 hours
- Child's weight: 44 lb
- Available strength of chlorpromazine injection: 25 mg/mL
First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms:
44 lb ÷ 2.20462 = 20 kg
Now, let's calculate the desired dose of chlorpromazine:
Desired dose = Dosage per kg × Weight Desired dose = 0.55 mg/kg × 20 kg Desired dose = 11 mg
Now, let's find out how many milliliters of chlorpromazine correspond to this dose: Volume (mL) = Desired dose / Concentration
Volume (mL) = 11 mg / 25 mg/mL Volume (mL) ≈ 0.44 mL
So, the nurse should administer approximately 0.4 mL of chlorpromazine per dose.
